How we handle wood floor repair in Portreath

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about wood floor repair in Portreath

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Portreath included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

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 leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portreath. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Portreath, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Portreath

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
