Skirting Board Restoration
Don't Replace It—Repair It Seamlessly With Our On-Site Refinishing.
Why Repairing Skirting Boards Matters
Refinish provides professional skirting board repairs in Sydney, offering a seamless alternative to costly replacements. We specialize in fixing chips, scratches, pet damage, and water-swelled baseboards with precision on-site colour matching.
Skirting boards (baseboards) are the most abused surfaces in any home. Vacuum cleaners bump them, pets scratch them, and furniture leaves deep dents. In bathrooms and kitchens, moisture often causes modern MDF boards to swell and bubble.
The Refinish Advantage: Most tradesmen will tell you to replace the entire board. This involves tearing it off the wall, damaging the plaster, and purchasing expensive new materials. We provide a surgical repair—fixing only the damaged spot while the board stays on the wall.
Our Precision Restoration Method
We combine structural rebuilding with artistic refinishing to make damage disappear:
Surface Re-Profiling
For crushed corners or decorative profiles, we rebuild the shape using hard-wearing compounds that dry harder than wood.
On-Site Colour Lab
We match the exact shade and gloss level (Matte, Satin, or Gloss) of your existing trim so the repair is invisible.
Swelling Remediation
We can often treat and flatten moisture-damaged MDF skirtings, saving you from a major renovation.
Pet Damage Fix
Chewed corners or deep scratches from cats and dogs are fully restored to their original smooth finish.

Skirting Repair FAQs
Can you repair the decorative curves on my skirting?
Yes. We specialize in "re-profiling." We manually rebuild the curves and lines of your skirting to match the original design perfectly.
Is it cheaper than replacing the skirting?
In most cases, yes. When you factor in the cost of new materials, carpentry labour, and repainting the entire room, our localized repair is significantly more cost-effective.
What if my skirting is swollen from water?
If the MDF is bubbled, we sand back the affected area, treat it to prevent further expansion, fill it with a waterproof compound, and refinish it.
