FAQs for Portslade

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Wood floor repair in Portslade without replacing anything

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Whether it’s chipped board edges and burns, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Portslade. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
