How we handle wood floor repair in Higher Downs
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and burns.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Higher Downs and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Higher Downs
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Downs as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
FAQs for Higher Downs
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Higher Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
