Wood floor repair near Portsmouth

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Replacing in Portsmouth means coordinating trades, parking and waste. A repair is a single visit.

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Portsmouth

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portsmouth. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PO6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. We book visits in Portsmouth the same way as everywhere, with an arrival time agreed in advance. If you are in a flat or a town-centre street, tell us about parking and stairs.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portsmouth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Portsmouth

My house in Portsmouth is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Normally, yes. Older floors are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Do you work for landlords with property near Fratton station?

Yes. Send pictures and the address, and we’ll quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Portsmouth?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When to call us in Portsmouth

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Landlords with property near Fratton station (about 0.9 miles south) use us between tenancies, so floors are repaired rather than replaced.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Portsmouth

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
