Floor Repair & Restoration Dublin
Don't replace your wooden floors — restore them. We repair scratches, stains, water damage, warping, and gaps, bringing your floors back to their original beauty.
Before you rip out your wooden floors and start from scratch, consider restoration. In most cases, damaged wooden floors can be repaired and restored to a condition that's as good as — or better than — new. And at a fraction of the replacement cost.
At Wooden Floors Dublin, our restoration team has repaired every type of damage imaginable: deep scratches, pet stains, water damage from leaks and floods, warped boards, squeaky floors, and the accumulated wear of decades.
We specialise in restoring period floors in Dublin's Victorian and Edwardian homes. Original pine and oak floors from the 1800s and early 1900s have a character that new flooring simply can't replicate. Restoring them preserves both the beauty and the history of your home.
Our repair process is tailored to each floor. We assess the damage, recommend the most effective solution, and execute the repair with the same precision we bring to new installations. The goal is always a seamless result where the repair is invisible.
Our Process
Damage Assessment
We inspect your floors thoroughly, identify all issues (visible and hidden), and provide an honest assessment of what can be repaired vs what needs replacing.
Repair Plan
You receive a detailed plan covering the specific repairs needed, materials required, timeline, and a fixed-price quote.
Restoration Work
Our team carries out the repairs: board replacement, gap filling, stain removal, structural fixes, sanding, and refinishing as needed.
Final Finish
After all repairs are complete, we sand and refinish the floor to create a uniform, beautiful surface. You won't see where the repairs were made.

Can water-damaged wooden floors be saved?
In many cases, yes. If the water damage is caught early and the subfloor is intact, we can dry, sand, and refinish the affected boards. Severely warped or blackened boards may need individual replacement. We assess each case on its merits.
How much does floor repair cost in Dublin?
Minor repairs (scratches, small stains) start from EUR 15-25/sqm. Full restoration including board replacement, gap filling, sanding, and refinishing ranges from EUR 35-60/sqm. We provide fixed quotes after assessment.
Can you match old floorboards?
Yes — we maintain a stock of reclaimed timber and source matching boards from specialist suppliers. We also age and stain new timber to match existing floors. The goal is always a seamless blend.
Is it worth restoring old floors or better to replace?
In most cases, restoration is the better choice. It costs 50-70% less than replacement, preserves the character of original floors, and is more sustainable. We only recommend replacement when structural damage makes restoration impractical.
Can you fix squeaky floorboards?
Yes. Squeaks are usually caused by loose boards rubbing against each other or against nails. We secure loose boards, add additional fixings where needed, and fill gaps that allow movement. It's a straightforward repair.
Do you repair engineered wood floors?
Yes — scratches, dents, and surface damage on engineered wood can be repaired. If the damage is limited to the top layer, we can sand and refinish. If individual boards are severely damaged, we can replace them.
