Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Albaston

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover Albaston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Albaston and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What wood floor repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Albaston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Albaston

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
