Wood floor repair for Trelowth homes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Wood floor repair in Trelowth, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Trelowth

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
