Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For a price in Thornham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Thornham: your questions answered

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Repair or replace in Thornham?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
