Wood floor repair at your home in Porcupine

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Porcupine and across Cornwall. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Porcupine. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Porcupine. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Porcupine

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you come to Porcupine?

We do. Technicians travel to Porcupine from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

When to call us in Porcupine

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
