Bathroom doorways
Water can wick into the bottom of a lining, jamb or architrave and continue into the skirting. Each connected piece is checked rather than treating the first visible stain in isolation.

Water-Damaged Timber Repair in Cornwall
Timber repairs after a resolved leak, covering damaged doorways, jambs, architraves, skirting and nearby joinery that has swollen, softened or stained.
Closing a repair while materials remain damp can trap the original problem. The leak source, drying progress and boundary of sound material need checking before replacement sections and finishes are applied.

A repair built around the actual condition
What Water-Damaged Timber Repair in Cornwall can involve
The leak should be stopped first. Once the affected area can be inspected safely, damaged timber is assessed alongside adjacent finishes and moisture conditions. The agreed repair may involve removing deteriorated sections, cutting back to sound material, fitting matching timber and making good.
Drying before repair
Moisture checks may be useful where the leak was recent or the substrate remains suspect. Decorative finishes are not closed until conditions are suitable.
Matching nearby joinery
Replacement skirting and architrave are selected or shaped to sit neatly with the retained profile, including joints, mitres, caulking and local making good.
Recording hidden findings
If opening the area reveals wider decay or damage to materials outside the agreed scope, photographs and revised options are provided before proceeding.
How the next step works
A clear route from photographs to an agreed scope
Step 1
Resolve the leak
The plumbing, seal or external water source must be stopped by the appropriate trade before the timber repair is closed.
Step 2
Inspect and dry
Affected timber and nearby finishes are checked, with moisture assessment used where it helps confirm readiness.
Step 3
Remove damaged material
Soft or deteriorated sections are removed back to a suitable boundary and the repair detail is confirmed.
Step 4
Replace and finish
New timber is fitted, joints are made good and decoration is completed where included in the scope.

Local FAQs
Questions before booking
Can you repair a door frame damaged by a bathroom leak?
Yes, where the leak has been resolved and the remaining frame provides a suitable basis for local repair or replacement.
Do you check moisture before closing the repair?
Moisture checks are used where appropriate, alongside the visible condition and time since the leak was stopped.
Can damaged architrave and skirting be matched?
Common profiles can often be matched directly. Less common profiles may need adapting or replacing across a logical section.
Is decorating included?
Making good, caulking, priming and painting are included only when listed in the agreed scope.
