About our wood floor repair in Polperro

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

About Polperro

Polperro is about 9 miles south of Liskeard, in Cornwall. We agree a date that works for you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Polperro is one of 644 towns and villages in Cornwall we cover.

Our visits in PL13 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Fore Street, Little Green and Lansallos Street or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. If you are just outside Polperro, we cover Crumplehorn (1 mile north-west), Carey Park (1 mile north-east), Barcelona (2 miles north), Pelynt (3 miles north) and Looe (3 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as St Austell (11 miles west), Bodmin (13 miles north-west), Saltash (14 miles north-east), Liskeard (9 miles north), Sandy Bottom (11 miles west) and Addington (9 miles north).

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polperro as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
