Wood floor repair at your home in St John

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in St John

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in St John

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is my repair covered?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL11 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
