Need wood floor repair in The Frenches?

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wood floor repair in The Frenches, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

The Frenches: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover The Frenches?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Frenches from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

What affects the price in The Frenches

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to The Frenches. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for The Frenches. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

When to call us in The Frenches

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in The Frenches

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
