Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Upthorpe

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upthorpe

For anyone letting property in or around Upthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upthorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Upthorpe

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
