About our wood floor repair in Carnon Downs
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Carnon Downs and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repair or replace in Carnon Downs?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Carnon Downs
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Carnon Downs
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
