Wood floor repair for Porthilly homes

Wood floor repair in Porthilly, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Porthilly questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work in Porthilly?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Porthilly and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
