Wood floor repair in Gunwalloe, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Gunwalloe: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Gunwalloe and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Gunwalloe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
