About our wood floor repair in Looe

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Looe

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. Prices start 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Looe customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
