How we handle wood floor repair in Potto

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are frequently asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Potto: your questions answered

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Potto?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do you come to Potto?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Potto from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Potto?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

10 questions to ask before booking

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
