Wood floor repair near Lizard

About our wood floor repair in Lizard

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Lizard

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lizard. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Do you need wood floor repair in Lizard?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Lizard: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

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 photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
