Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Witham

If you manage property in Witham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Witham

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Witham

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Witham

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
