Questions from West Hurn

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so West Hurn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

If you’re in West Hurn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hurn

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hurn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
