Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Towngate
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Repairing versus replacing in Towngate
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
