What affects the price in Tiptree Heath

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tiptree Heath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

Tiptree Heath: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

Work for landlords and builders
