Timber Floor Repairs Sydney – Restore, Replace, and Refinish with Experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
