DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Whitekirk
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Whitekirk?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whitekirk and the rest of East Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
