10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Porthloo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Porthloo customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Porthloo

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

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