DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle wood floor repair in Read
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Read and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Read
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Read?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Read from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Read?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Read
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
