Wood Floor Repair in Reading

How wood floor repair works in Reading

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Pricing in Reading

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Reading. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
