In my experience you'll need to make good bits like that yourself. You could argue that it's all part of the job but a lot of electricians have little or no experience in making good and see floorboards as structural not decorative.
Good news is you could glue those splits shut and use a floorboard nail to fix them back in, would probably stand out less than a new board.

Consider yourself lucky, years ago when we bought our house we had the electrical upgraded to 100amp service (the standard at the time). Seeing my FiL was a commercial electrician my wife insisted that his crew do the work. Not sure if it was because he didn’t approve of our choice or what, but they did a right crap job, bashing holes in the walls for receptacles, not labelling anything on the fuse box, not putting in separate lines for stereo and computer, et cetera...

Ha ha - cheeky fucker. That’s a pisstake.
Probably best glued as Airhead said.

I wouldn’t expect an electrician to do a great job of making good. To expect that would mean to expect them to have competence in multiple other trades. I put up a picture and drilled a hole through a wire, nearly electrocuting myself in the process. The electrician came and dealt with the main issue, leaving a gaping hole full of wagos in the wall. I was happy to make good with various grades of filler.

That would be the best of what our electricians left!

If it cheers you up any, this is the absolute pisstake by the loft convertor's plasterer. Yes, that sensor is functional, powered up and part of our alarm system.

How much should I care about this sort of workmanship from my electrician? About 3 such locations. They've been under the floor running cables. I wasn't expecting the greatest of cabinet maker-esque craftsmanship but this is a particularly annoying effort, and it's the first thing you see when walking in my front door.
Gut feel is I should just chalk it up to experience and learn how to DIY a floor board replacement.
