About our wood floor repair in Portpatrick
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start 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.

FAQs for Portpatrick
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
