Repairing versus replacing in Whitle
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Whitle
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Whitle. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.

Landlord and trade work in Whitle

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Burns

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
