Wood floor repair at your home in Portway
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s burns and chipped board edges, we can normally put it right, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Portway, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

Questions from Portway
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Portway?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
