Wood floor repair in Portway without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Portway
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portway
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
