Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

Shiplake: your questions answered
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK, so Shiplake is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Shiplake

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
