Floor Repairs in Cairns
Bringing your timber floors back to life with personalised restoration, careful sanding and finishes chosen for Far North Queensland conditions.
Repair & Prepare
Get The Base Right
Scratches, damaged boards and uneven areas do not mean your floors are beyond saving. We carry out detailed floor repairs and thorough subfloor preparation across Cairns to correct underlying issues before any sanding or vinyl installation begins.
If you need to fix scratched floors, we repair and refinish the affected areas so the surface looks better and performs more reliably over time. When timber is split, worn or unstable, we replace damaged boards to restore strength, stability and consistency across the floor. Where subfloors are uneven, concrete grinding and levelling create a solid, reliable base that properly supports long-term results.

Solid Foundations
Preparation Makes The Difference
Lasting floors start with proper inspection and practical preparation. We focus on identifying the real issue first, so sanding or installation is built on a stable, level base.
- Inspection – We assess scratches, damaged boards, moisture concerns and uneven subfloors.
- Repairs – Scratched timber is restored and we replace damaged boards to strengthen the surface.
- Concrete Grinding & Levelling – Uneven concrete is ground and levelled to create a solid foundation, especially before vinyl installation.
- Subfloor Preparation – Surfaces are cleaned, stabilised and prepared for sanding, polishing or new flooring.
Thorough floor repairs and levelling reduce movement, lifting and premature wear. Before sanding or vinyl installation, make sure the base is right. Contact us to arrange an inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix scratched timber floors?
Minor surface scratches can sometimes be addressed with sanding and refinishing, while deeper scratches may require board repairs or replacement. Proper assessment is important to determine whether sanding alone will restore the floor or whether damaged sections need to be replaced before refinishing.
When should damaged floorboards be replaced?
Floorboards should be replaced when they are warped, split, heavily cracked or affected by moisture damage. Replacing damaged boards before sanding ensures the finished surface looks consistent and prevents structural issues from worsening over time.
