What Types of Floor Damage Can Be Repaired?
No Job is too Small or too Big
One of the best features of solid timber flooring is that small areas can actually be repaired. Two of the most common repairs that we get asked to undertake are water damage and dents or divots that have appeared.
Small area repairs can normally be performed without having to replace the entire plank of wood, but sometimes a plank or planks will need to be removed and replaced completely.
Depending on the age of flooring, and extent of damage, especially if your floor is suffering from large cracks, you may want to think about refinishing the entire hardwood floor.
Cracked or Warped Timber Boards
Cracks or warping from moisture, furniture pressure, or impact damage? We remove and replace affected planks with matching timber species, ensuring a seamless blend.
Gaps and Buckling Between Planks
Timber expands and contracts with humidity, leading to gaps and buckling. We re-secure or replace affected sections and restore proper alignment and appearance.
Sunlight Fading and Heat Stress
Got uneven patches where rugs used to be? UV exposure causes timber “tan lines.” We sand back discoloured zones and recoat with UV-resistant finishes.

When it comes to water damage on timber floors, its important to identify the cause and ensure this is rectified first. Then, depending on the amount of water or moisture damage, our expert team can get in and recommend the best approach.
The process to repair the water damaged timber floors is not always the same, however in most cases we follow the following process:
- The water damaged timber floorboard or floorboards are removed and discarded
- All glue and barrier protection are removed with a diamond disk grinder
- We find the best match timber floorboard and begin the re-installation process

Sunlight Damage to Timber Floors – How We Repair and Restore Faded Boards
Timber flooring is beautiful and durable, but in many Sydney homes, long-term sun exposure takes its toll. It’s common to see faded patches — lighter or darker areas where rugs, furniture or mats have protected the floor from UV rays. Think of it like a timber “tan line.”
To fix this, we sand back the top layer and recoat your timber to restore a smooth, consistent colour and finish. Our floor sanding and polishing services help remove discolouration and revive the floor’s original tone.
We also treat more serious heat stress issues — like shrinking, cracking, or lifting near windows — caused by intense sunlight. These repairs are more involved but completely manageable. We’ll often recommend installing blinds or UV film before repairing to prevent future damage.,/p>
If your timber floors are looking tired or patchy from sun exposure, get in touch with our Sydney team. We’ll assess the damage and provide a tailored quote to bring your floors back to life.
Repair Timber Floors After Renovation, Wall Removal or Layout Changes
Recently renovated your home or removed a wall? You may notice gaps, mismatched boards, or floor outlines where walls used to be. These issues are common — but easily fixable with our timber floor repair and re-toothing service in Sydney. We remove affected floorboards, match and re-install new timber of the same species, and align the grain perfectly. It’s a detailed process — but the result is a seamless finish that looks like the floor was always that way. After repairs, we sand and polish the area or entire room for consistency. We do this type of post-renovation timber floor repair regularly across Sydney and can guide you on the best approach during your renovation.

Timber Floor Repairs FAQ
What timber floor repair services do you offer in Sydney?
We offer a full range of timber floor repair services across Sydney. That includes fixing deep scratches, replacing damaged or warped boards, sanding and polishing worn-out floors, re-coating faded areas, and repairing damage caused by termites, water, or heat. We also handle tricky jobs like blending in new timber after a wall removal. No matter the size of the job — whether it’s just one section or your whole floor — we approach it with the same attention to detail. If something can be repaired without replacing, we’ll do that. If it needs a full restoration, we’ll explain your options clearly so you can make the right call.
How much does it cost to repair timber floors in Sydney?
The cost depends on the job — how bad the damage is, how big the area is, and what kind of finish you’re after. Some repairs might be as simple as sanding and recoating a small patch, while others might involve replacing multiple boards, re-toothing new timber, and sanding the whole room. On average, minor repairs start from a few hundred dollars, but more involved jobs can range higher. The best way to know for sure is to have us come out and take a look. We’ll give you a straightforward quote — no surprises, no pushy upsells.
Can you fix scratched timber floors without replacing them?
Yes, in most cases we can. Light surface scratches can usually be taken care of with a sand and polish — we remove the top layer of coating and give the floor a fresh finish. Deeper scratches might need a bit more attention, but even then, we usually don’t have to replace the whole board. We’ll assess the depth of the damage and figure out the best fix. If your floor has lots of scratches across the surface, a full resand can make it look new again.
Do you offer sanding and polishing as part of timber floor repairs?
Absolutely. Sanding and polishing are a big part of most repair jobs we do. Once damaged boards are fixed or replaced, we sand the area to smooth everything out and apply a quality finish to protect the floor and bring back its natural look. We use professional-grade equipment and coatings that hold up well under everyday wear. The goal is not just to fix the damage — it’s to leave your floors looking like nothing ever happened.
Can you repair water-damaged timber floors in Sydney homes?
We deal with water-damaged floors regularly — it’s a common issue, especially in kitchens, laundries, and entryways. If water has soaked into the boards and caused them to swell, cup, or discolour, we’ll inspect the extent of the damage. In some cases, we can save the boards with careful sanding and drying. If the damage is too far gone, we’ll remove and replace the affected sections and match them to your existing floor. Once that’s done, we sand and polish the area to make it all blend together.
What should I do if termites have damaged my timber floor?
First things first — we need to make sure the termites are gone. If there’s still live activity, we’ll recommend a pest treatment before we touch the floor. Once that’s sorted, we’ll assess the damage. We carefully remove the affected boards, inspect the surrounding timber, and replace whatever’s necessary. Matching the new timber to your old floor is something we take seriously — especially in older Sydney homes where the original timber might not be easy to find. We do our best to make the repairs blend in as naturally as possible.
Can sun exposure damage timber floors? What can be done about it?
Yes, prolonged sunlight can definitely damage timber floors. You’ll often notice it where rugs, furniture, or mats have sat for years — the surrounding timber fades, leaving “tan lines.” In some cases, the UV exposure can also cause shrinkage, cracking or warping near windows. To fix this, we sand back the affected areas and re-coat the floor to bring back an even colour. It’s also a good idea to use blinds or window film going forward to prevent the same issue happening again.
Are you a local timber floor repair company based in Sydney?
Yes, we’re based right here in Sydney. We’re a small, independent team — not a franchise — and we’ve been working in homes across the city for years. Most of our work comes through referrals, because we show up on time, do the job properly, and treat people with respect. We understand Sydney homes — from modern apartments to heritage terraces — and we know how to deal with the unique challenges each one brings.
Can you replace just a few floorboards, or does the whole floor need to be done?
We can definitely replace just a few boards if that’s all that’s needed. A lot of our jobs involve fixing isolated damage — like water near a doorway or deep dents in one area. We match the timber as closely as possible, re-tooth it in so the joins are staggered (not straight lines), then sand and polish the whole area so it blends. In some cases, if the floor is very old or already patchy, we might suggest sanding the whole room to get an even finish.
Do you repair timber floors in older or heritage-style homes?
Yes, we do a lot of work in older homes around Sydney. Restoring floors in heritage homes takes care and patience — matching older timbers, working around existing skirting, and keeping the character of the home intact. We source the right timber species, match the colour and grain, and use finishes that respect the age and style of the home. Whether it’s re-toothing, repairing termite damage, or blending in new sections, we’ve got the experience to do it right.
