FAQs for Carpalla

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Carpalla?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
