Wood floor repair for No Man's Land homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle wood floor repair in No Man's Land

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in No Man's Land

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for No Man's Land. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

No Man's Land: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
