Wood floor repair for Drayton homes

Wood floor repair at your home in Drayton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Drayton questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Portsmouth.

Do you cover the entire of Portsmouth?

We cover the whole UK, including Drayton and the rest of Portsmouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Drayton clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Drayton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Drayton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drayton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
