Wood floor repair for Ponsanooth homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

About our wood floor repair in Ponsanooth

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Ponsanooth

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Ponsanooth and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Ponsanooth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR3 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ponsanooth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
