- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price
Most customers in Farnham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farnham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Engineered wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
What affects the price in Farnham
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Farnham: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Are there extra charges for Farnham?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
