How we handle wood floor repair in Portgordon
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Questions from Portgordon
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Portgordon
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
