Should you replace it?

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we handle wood floor repair in Portway
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B48 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Portway: your questions answered
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
