Wood floor repair in Reading, done in place
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Reading, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood

Common questions in Reading
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Reading

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
