About our wood floor repair in Little Portugal
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Little Portugal questions
Do you work in Little Portugal?
We do. We send a technician to Little Portugal for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SW9 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we’re working on.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What else we do in Little Portugal
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
Repair or replace in Little Portugal?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
