We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Portfield

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BH23 postcode.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What affects the price in Portfield

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
