Wood Floor Repair in Acharacle
Damaged floor in Acharacle? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle wood floor repair in Acharacle
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
