Frequently Asked Questions about Stair tread repair in Dawlish
Can a cracked tread be repaired or does it need replacing?
Depends on the crack. Surface cracks can be filled and reinforced. Structural cracks that go through the tread usually mean replacement for safety.
What causes stair treads to break?
Age, heavy use, moisture damage, or poor original timber. The nosing (front edge) takes most of the wear and often fails first.
Can you match the existing treads?
Usually yes. We match wood type and thickness. Once stained and varnished, repairs blend well.
Do you repair stairs under carpet?
Yes - often the carpet hides damaged treads. We can lift carpet, repair, and relay, or work with your carpet fitter.
