FAQs for Upper Tankersley

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
