Restore vs replace wood floooring

At what point do I know that my wood flooring is beyond restoration and it would be better off just having it replaced? Is there any way of judging this for myself or should I just get a professional out to take a look?

"It would depend on the level of damage/decay.
But in my experience, you can never achieve the finish with restoration of that kind within the cost of replacement. Again, depending on what kind of wood, how old it is etc it would be cheaper to replace."
