Wood floor repair in Cosham 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 be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Cosham?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Cosham

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Cosham?

We do. Technicians travel to Cosham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

All of Portsmouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cosham

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
