Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Only from the area we’re working on.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we handle wood floor repair in Thorpe-le-Soken
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Thorpe-le-Soken
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe-le-Soken
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
