What else we do in Tideford
Repair or replace: which is better?

Work for landlords and builders
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Tideford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Tideford?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you come to Tideford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tideford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
