Whitebirk: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whitebirk. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitebirk, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
