What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Wood floor repair in Penzance without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with burns and dents from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penzance as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

When we’d advise against a repair

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Penzance

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Penzance and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Penzance

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Penzance, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
