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.

Repaira damaged leadlight/stained glass lampshade
$85
Sydney, New South Wales
6th Jul 2026
I am hoping to request a quote to repair my damaged leadlight/stained glass lampshade. It's a small lampshade approximately 20cm by 20cm, and 20cm tall. There is separation between the top metal fixture and the glass pieces, while nothing is broken yet and it’s still able to hold the whole weight of the lamp I’m worried it will break in time. I've received additional advice on pricing and changed accordingly however price remains flexible
Stain and seal scotia to match timber floor — no installation
$170
Petersham NSW 2049, Australia
4th Jul 2026
We need an experienced timber finisher / carpenter / flooring professional to sand, stain and clear-seal approximately 6 metres of raw 12 x 12 mm clear-pine tri-quad scotia. This is finishing only — the scotia does not need to be cut, mitred or installed. The goal is to get the visible curved face of the scotia as close as reasonably possible to our existing light warm-oak engineered timber floor. We tried one test section using Feast Watson Prooftint at full strength and it came out far too dark, so we need someone experienced with staining pine to properly test and control the colour before proceeding with the full lengths. We currently have: * raw Porta 12 x 12 mm clear-pine tri-quad scotia — approx. 6 m total * Feast Watson Prooftint timber stain * Feast Watson Matt Clear Varnish * 220-grit sanding sponge * timber finishing brush We believe these are the main required materials, but please advise if a timber primer/conditioner, colour reducer, different stain shade, or other preparation product is needed to achieve an even light-oak result on pine. Please include any additional material cost in your offer or discuss it with us before purchasing. Scope required: * inspect/test on an offcut first and confirm the proposed shade before completing all lengths * lightly sand and prepare the pine * apply stain carefully so it is light, even and not blotchy * apply appropriate clear matt protective coats, with light sanding/de-nibbing between coats where needed * ensure the finished pieces are dry enough to be handled and installed later Please only make an offer if you have experience with staining clear pine, timber trim, skirting/scotia or timber colour matching. Photos of similar work or relevant reviews would be appreciated.

Stain and clear coat timber shelves
$1,000
Redfern NSW, Australia
11th Jun 2026
Hi, I've got 5 lots of book cases with 6 shelves on each of them that need 3 coats of stain applied to each area and two coats of clear. Between each coat the timber needs to be sanded. Also, the whole area needs to be prepared, the screw holes patched, and everything taped so stain doesn't go on the paint. The timber is mostly ply with a hardwood capping. Also, there is a 1.5x1.5 area that needs to be painted cream, the same as the rest of the house. It was just rendered.
Perfect. Excellent work. Great guy.
