Is the wood damaged or just the finish? If it’s just the finish, you can sand, stain, and clear coat with a protective sealer. I would also redo the silicone caulk at the floor.

High-gloss paint, whatever color you think will go with the walls.
When I replaced my kitchen floor, I couldn't afford wood baseboards and they suggested rubber ones. They are very inexpensive, and I thought I'd replace them when I could afford to. Nope, I'm keeping them and that's all I'll ever use! I think they would be perfect for you. You might need to remove the wood ones first, so it won't be that easy, but the rubber ones just glue on with a baseboard caulk product.
I would suggest a light sanding and wiping them down, then using paint or gel stain depending on your preference. Use a good sealer and it should hold up well.
