How we handle wood floor repair in Shinfield
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Shinfield
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Reading?
All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Shinfield?
We do. Technicians travel to Shinfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Shinfield and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
