Advice
How we handle wood floor repair in Portinscale
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Portinscale: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Portinscale
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.
