About our wood floor repair in St Ives

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in St Ives

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in St Ives

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes St Ives. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Ives. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in St Ives

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
