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.

Cheers, just what I want to hear. I don't want to be unreasonable and I don't think I can be bothered to make an argument about it. Appreciate the advice on repair. Sadly I'll have to do board replacement in some other locations I think, but there's a few other pre-existing locations where I could do with new boards too.

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.
