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.

Careful Carpenter: Expose & Frame Small Stained Glass Window
$350
East Corrimal NSW 2518, Australia
16th Jul 2026
I have an internal stained glass window in my living room that looks into an adjacent bedroom. The bedroom side was previously sheeted over with plasterboard (Gyprock). I need someone to carefully cut away the plasterboard from the bedroom side to reveal the window, and then supply and install a simple timber frame to finish it off. Window Size: • Dimensions: 24 cm wide by 72 cm tall Key Tasks: • Locate and carefully cut away the Gyprock on the bedroom side without hitting or damaging the stained glass panel. • Clear out cavity dust and debris between the plaster and the glass. • Supply and install timber framing/architraves around the newly exposed window on the bedroom side. • Note: no painting required • Note: The framing does NOT need to be an exact match to the living room side—just similar in style and size (see photos). Materials Required (To be supplied by you): • Approx. 2.5 linear meters of timber architrave/trim (simple profile similar to the photos). • Fixing nails/screws and gap filler/no-more-gaps. What I’m Looking For: • Detailed handyman or carpentry experience. • Please bring your own tools (drywall saw, drop saw, dust sheets, vacuum for cleanup). Note: Painting is not required; I will paint the trim myself once installed.

Remove Stain from White Gloss MDF Desk
$100
Coniston NSW, Australia
10th Jun 2025
I’m looking for someone experienced in furniture restoration or surface repair to help remove a stain from a white high-gloss MDF desk in Coniston (Wollongong area). I’ve already tried: • Soap and water • Baking soda + vinegar • Alcohol-based hand sanitiser The stain hasn’t lifted and may have lightly absorbed into the clear gloss finish. The rest of the desk is in great condition — I’d prefer a spot treatment or gentle buff, not a full respray. Ideal if you have experience with: • Furniture surface repair • MDF panel restoration • Glossy finish touch-ups (without damaging the surface) The desk is movable, but I’d prefer someone who can do the repair on-site if possible. Please bring your own tools/materials. Photos and close-ups can be provided upon request. Let me know your experience, availability, and quote — thank you! (Budget flexible based on experience and result)
