Landlords, agents and businesses in Portscatho

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Portscatho

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Portscatho?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Portscatho for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repairing versus replacing in Portscatho

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Most clients in Portscatho get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
