For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthgwidden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
About our wood floor repair in Porthgwidden
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and burns, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you come to Porthgwidden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Porthgwidden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How quickly can you book me in?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Laminate flooring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Porthgwidden?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
