What do staining services include?

Stain can be applied on different surfaces such as wood, brick, and concrete, which means the details for each service may vary. Don’t worry; we prepared a rundown of the essential staining services you may encounter when hiring an expert on Airtasker.  

 

Staining prep 

First, a clear work area is ideal when staining. Extra furniture, potted plants, and frames must be removed. Staining your property or furniture will usually include cleaning it first. A Tasker can only proceed once the surface is completely dry for large surfaces such as concrete floors, wooden fences, and brick walls that need to be washed. If staining will take place outdoors, it’s essential to check the weather conditions.

 

Wood Staining 

When we talk of wood staining, it usually refers to fences and wooden furniture. Staining a fence gives your wood that splash of colour and protection it needs. Furniture stain may be applied to wooden cabinets, chairs, tables, bookcases, bassinets, bed frames, and doors. The wood doesn’t have to be new because restaining furniture is also possible. 

 

Good news: Airtasker can help you with your wood repair, and deck staining needs as well.

 

Brick Staining 

Whether it’s your walls, chimney, or fireplace, your home’s bricks need some care, too. The advantage of brick staining over brick painting is that stain accentuates the brick’s natural texture, and the finished product requires less maintenance. 

 

Before staining the whole surface, your hired expert may first test the swatch on a small patch of brick to ensure that they have achieved the desired colour. The colour can be lightened or darkened by adding water or pigment. 

 

Concrete Staining 

Staining can also be done on concrete floors and walls, and you can easily find concrete staining contractors near you on our platform. Much like brick staining, your hired specialist will first test the stain on a small part of concrete before applying it to the rest of the surface. 

 

After staining, your Tasker may apply a sealer to ensure that the concrete retains its seamless appearance. When the staining and sealing process is finished and your hired specialist has checked the surface, they will pack up their equipment. 

 

But if you’ve decided that staining isn’t the right fit for you, various painting services are also available on our platform.

Sand, stain and vanish the interior window frame (around 6 ).

$600

Doncaster East, Victoria

22nd Jul 2025

Sand, stain and vanish the interior window, around 6 windows. The task seems easy and I plan to DIY , I have all materials and did one window by myself, but it’s hard to finish all as I have to take care baby and it’s dusty when sanding. The area around the openable part of the window has been slightly affected by rain and sunlight, so there's some minor mould and will need a bit cleaning and more sanding. The rest of the window is in good condition and only needs light sanding, stain and varnish. I’d like to keep the original colour as much as possible. Please ensure: • Clean and neat finish • Floor and wall protected from drips or splashes Mould remover, stain and vanish paint, detail sander , UV clear paint , brushes, plastic floor protection all provided if needed. The price is negotiable.

Surinder helps us sand, stain and vanish the timber windows, the works are really good and communicate well. Definitely recommend him!

Handyman to Sand the legs of a Dining Table and Stain it

$300

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

17th Jun 2025

I have a 3m long solid oak dining table and looking for a handyman who has had experience in sanding and staining furniture, to help me finish it as I am moving house. The table is currently in my double garage and the work can be done there, so no need to move it. I have already stripped / sanded the table top, just need you to sand the legs and apply a stain in a walnut colour. This needs to happen this Saturday, I expect there is approximately 4 hours work here and I will purchase the stain.

Roshen was an absolute pleasure to deal with, he was friendly, trustworthy and incredibly skilled. He sanded back my dining table to perfection, he took a lot of care and had great attention to detail. It’s clear he knows exactly what he’s doing and the result is honestly incredible as my table looks brand new. I’d highly recommend Roshen to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a genuinely authentic person to work with.
