Wood floor repair at your home in Portwood

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Portwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Portwood

What areas do you cover?

All of Stockport, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Portwood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Portwood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Portwood

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Portwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace in Portwood?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Portwood clients choose us

Take a look at our pricing.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Portwood. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
