DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Wood floor repair in Southsea, done in place
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include burns and scratches from furniture and pets, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Southsea and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Southsea
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Southsea.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southsea. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Southsea
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Portsmouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
