FAQs for Porth
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Porth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Porth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Porth?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Wood floor repair in Porth, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Porth and across Rhondda Cynon Taff. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
