Trusted wood floor repair in St Mawes

Wood floor repair in St Mawes without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

St Mawes questions

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR2 postcode.

Do you work in St Mawes?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to St Mawes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
