Top Refinishing related questions
Generally, the entire process can be completed within the day. The exact number of hours it would take for it to be finished would depend on the item and the tools and equipment to be used. It’s best to discuss your preferred time frame with your Tasker beforehand to help manage your expectations.Â
It depends on the item and the chemicals that were used. But generally, light usage after 24 to 72 hours after the last coat is applied is allowed. This is to let the finish settle and cure. Using or disturbing the item during its recommended cure time can lead to damaged refinishing.
Your new finish can last for years and even for decades, provided that you give it proper care and maintenance. You can help extend its lifespan by having it cleaned regularly using the appropriate cleaning materials and having it repaired when needed. Some items and furniture can be refinished over and over again, like bathtubs and floor tiles. Â
There’s no need for you to provide tools and supplies for your refinishing service! Taskers come with professional equipment such as scrapers, wire brushes, and sanders to help them finish the job efficiently. But if you have these tools and prefer to use them, please have this setup arranged with your Tasker.Â
Your Tasker can make their best effort to keep fumes or odours to a minimum by sealing off and ventilating the area they’re working in, using industrial-grade exhaust equipment, and masking the odours with fragrance. There will be some lingering odours, especially immediately after the job is done, but rest assured that this will dissipate throughout the day.
Those who are a fan of DIY projects can do it on their own, but it’s always recommended to leave it to a professional. Doing this can help you avoid mistakes, thereby saving you money in the long run. You can also be sure that the job will be done right the first time, without having to redo it and spend more of your time and resources.

What do refinishing services include?
Refinishing services include renewing and restoring your items to their original appearance and former glory! This process is performed by a skilled Tasker using state-of-the-art refinishing methods and technologies. Whether it’s glass, metal, plastic or wood refinishing, Taskers can get the job done! Here are a few of the things they can do for you:
Furniture refinishing
Refinishing a piece of furniture involves repairing or completely removing the finish, stripping the paint, and applying a new one. This can be done by a furniture stripping service near you. From reupholstering items like couches and chairs to refinishing laminate tables, kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts, your Tasker can help breathe new life into your home.If something’s broken, you can get someone to have your furniture repaired first to ensure that everything’s good to go before refinishing your kitchen cabinets, tables and other wooden furniture.Â
Floor refinishing
If your floors have seen better days, maybe it’s time to have them refinished! The most common type of this service is hardwood floor refinishing where it involves sanding, dust removal, restaining, recoating and sealing to help restore its colour and lustre. This material is one of the easiest and most affordable to refinish, so you may consider that when planning to have hardwood flooring installed. But aside from wood floor refinishing, Taskers can also do this service with other types of floor material, such as vinyl, ceramic or stone.
Fence refinishing
Fences are constantly exposed to external elements such as strong winds, heat, rain or snow, and that’s why they’re highly susceptible to wear and tear. Having it regularly refinished can help avoid corrosion, holes or gaps, sagging gates, and stains while extending its lifespan. Whether it’s made of wood, aluminium or chain-link, Taskers can help restore your fence so it can serve its purpose efficiently. If you don’t have one yet, you can also get someone to install a wooden fence on your property or any fence of your choice!
Musical instrument refinishing
Though refinishing musical instruments is usually not recommended because their finish is part of their tone, there would be instances where saving the instrument is the better option than replacing it. This is mainly for those attached to their musical instruments who want to keep them for as long as possible. Banjo, violin, mandolins, and guitar refinishing can only be done by experts with the right tools and supplies, so the original appearance is restored without sacrificing the quality of sound they produce.

Sand and Refinish Timber Kitchen Floors – Approx. 10m²
$800
Darley VIC 3340, Australia
18th Oct 2026
We’re looking for an experienced floor sanding professional to sand and refinish approximately 10m² of existing timber flooring in our kitchen (the kitchen cabinets shown in the photos will be removed prior). We’re installing new kitchen cabinetry, so need to have the kitchen flooring completed first. We plan to have the remaining timber floors throughout the house sanded and refinished over the coming months. Scope of work: * Sand back the existing timber flooring in the kitchen. * Carry out minor repairs if required. * Fill nail holes and other small holes with suitable putty or wood filler. * Apply black gap filler to the gaps between the floorboards. * Apply a clear protective finish to the sanded timber. * Leave the floor smooth, clean and ready for the new kitchen cabinetry. Important considerations: We understand that the newly refinished kitchen floor will look different in colour to the existing floors throughout the rest of the house until we have the remaining areas completed. We’re happy with this and do not want the new flooring to match the existing, unfinished floors at this stage. We’re looking for someone experienced with older timber floorboards who can recommend a suitable clear finish and achieve a good-quality result. Please provide a quote for the above work, including labour, materials and any minor repairs that may be required. Please note that this MUST be completed between the 30th October and 3rd November. Thank you!
Deck Restoration – Sand, Strip Old Paint & Refinish
$500
Grovedale VIC 3216, Australia
15th Oct 2026
Looking for an experienced deck restoration professional to help us finish restoring our large outdoor timber deck. We have already spent considerable time preparing and sanding the deck using a drum floor sander and handheld belt sander. Unfortunately, the old reddish-brown paint is proving difficult to remove and has left the deck looking very patchy. What we need: * Assess the current condition of the deck and remaining paint. * Remove the stubborn old paint/coating using the appropriate method. * Complete sanding and preparation to achieve a consistent finish. * Restore the built-in timber bench seating, including backs and fronts. * Prepare and apply a suitable exterior timber oil or finish. * Clean up and remove all paint debris and waste. Our desired finish: A lighter, natural timber look with a slight sheen rather than the existing dark reddish colour. We are not looking to replace the deck, just have the existing timber professionally restored. Ideally looking for someone experienced with stubborn painted decking who has their own professional equipment. Photos attached showing the current condition. Thanks!

Sand & Refinish Front Door, Sidelight & Timber Frame
$900
Baulkham Hills NSW 2153, Australia
6th Oct 2026
I am looking for an experienced timber restoration/finishing specialist to restore my timber front entrance. The job consists of: - One timber front door – both interior and exterior sides - One adjoining timber sidelight/side panel – both sides - Timber door frame and surrounding trim Both the door and sidelight contain decorative leadlight glass, so care must be taken when sanding and refinishing around the glass. The exterior timber has become weathered and the existing finish has deteriorated. I would like the entire entrance professionally restored so that the timber looks refreshed and well finished while retaining its natural timber appearance. Work required includes proper cleaning and preparation, sanding back the existing deteriorated finish as necessary, careful hand sanding around mouldings and leadlight glass, addressing minor marks/discolouration where possible, and applying a high-quality exterior-grade UV and weather-resistant clear timber finish. The interior side should also be sanded/prepared and refinished so the whole entrance has a consistent, professionally restored appearance. The Tasker must provide all labour, sanding equipment, tools, masking/protection materials, stain if required, varnish/clear finish and all other materials. Please include in your offer: 1. Your experience restoring timber entrance doors 2. The preparation and sanding process you propose 3. The brand/type of finish you recommend 4. How many coats you will apply 5. Whether your quote includes all materials and any return visits required between coats Photos showing the outside and inside of the same entrance door and sidelight are attached. Location: Baulkham Hills NSW 2153 I am looking for a proper restoration, rather than simply applying another coat over the existing finish.
Repair & Refinish Patched Internal Door – Seamless Finish
$115
Burwood VIC 3125, Australia
1st Oct 2026
I have an internal painted door that previously had a hole in it. The hole was repaired using wood filler/wood dust, but the repair was not finished properly and the patched area is still visible. I’m looking for an experienced handyman/painter to professionally redo/finish the repair so that the surface is smooth, level and blends with the rest of the door as closely as possible, with no obvious patch marks. The existing repair may need to be sanded back, levelled/re-filled as required, primed and painted. I’m happy for the whole face of the door to be repainted if that will give a cleaner and more consistent finish, rather than just touching up the repaired area. Please include all materials, filler, primer and paint required in your offer. Photos attached showing the current condition. The main priority is the quality of the finish. I want the repaired area to be difficult to identify once completed. Please let me know whether you recommend repairing/refinishing the existing patch or another approach to achieve the best result.
On time and very professional. Did a great job.

Interior Concrete Floors Repair & Refinishing
$1,000
Fitzroy North VIC 3068, Australia
15th Sep 2026
Four years ago I got the bright idea to grind the interior floors of my apartment myself. The results were.. mixed The slab was ground down to expose the aggrigate and several coats of a clear self-levelling epoxy were applied. As you can see in the images, there are grinding marks in some places, with the kitchen where I first started, being the worst location. The floor is also uneven to a degree, the self levelling epoxy did not eliminate this and many of the edges of the rooms are slightly higher than the centre. How much of an issue this is, im not sure. I am looking for a professional who would be able to provide a solution, preferably several options to choose from, to improve the appearance of the floor. This would include quoting for an entire apartment refinish/refurbishment of floors to section based refinishing for the kitchen and/or hallway areas. I have included some images as well as the floor plan of the apartment with the flooring present in all rooms minus the bathroom and toilet. Please also note the apartment is on the second floor of a 1970s brick walk-up. Thank you, Adam
