Questions from Praa Sands

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Do you come to Praa Sands?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Praa Sands and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Praa Sands

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
