Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Widford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
Repairing versus replacing in Widford
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Widford
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Do you cover Widford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Widford and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
