What do paint stripping services include?

Paint stripping is a vital part of any refurbishment project, whether you're redoing your bathroom, remodelling your kitchen, or renovating your entire property.

Depending on your preference, your home paint stripper can remove the old paint and finish from a particular surface using a variety of treatments such as solvents, gel-, or paste-based strippers. They can also utilise different techniques as they see fit like scraping, wire brushing, or door dripping.

Here are some common paint stripping services you can get and the inclusions of each:

Wood stripping

Wood stripping is done in three different ways: thermal blasting, chemical stripping, or sandblasting. Whatever your preference, your wood stripping expert always starts by disassembling the pieces to be stripped. 

When scrapping your old paint, they work in sections and get deeper into the tiny groves to make sure that they don't miss any areas. They also apply a second coat in case there are any stubborn areas. Then, they complete your wood stripping service by wiping or brushing away the residue and finally sanding the wood.

It's essential to check your furniture and fixtures after the stripping process. If there are any dents, damages, or any inconsistencies, it's best to get someone to repair your wooden furnishings right away. The purpose is to steer away from any potential problems or early degradations after refurbishing them.

Door paint stripping

Are you thinking of updating your dull-looking door or restoring its original appearance? The ideal way to kick off your project is to strip off its old paint and finish. One of the easiest, most practical ways to do this is through door dipping.

After dismantling or removing the doors from its interior structure, your Tasker can bring it to the nearest door dipping workshop, where they are submerged into a chemical or caustic-based solution to remove the old paint. When the doors are returned to your place, a paint stripper then cleans and hand-strips stubborn stains, and also helps with sanding to achieve a smooth, visually appealing finish.

Fireplace stripping

While most fireplaces tend to develop heavy and unsightly rust spots over time, it doesn't necessarily mean that you should replace it entirely. If your fireplace is still fully functioning and structurally stable, then all it needs is a little stripping and recoating. 

Your Tasker can use the safest paint stripper that won't cause any damage or crack on the frame material. For antiques and fragile fireplaces, they might go for solvent stripping since the process is more gentle than caustic and chemical stripping.

The former stripping process is preferable on durable fireplaces with thicker paints. For a cleaner appearance, your paint stripper can also remove the residue and sand the surface. You can even have it refinished or repainted for a total fireplace transformation!

Chadstone VIC, Australia

23rd Nov 2022

Hi Airtaskers, I’ve got a small bathroom with tile interior that had been painted professionally last year. Unfortunately, the paint has started to peel on the floor and within the shower, as shown in the photos. On hindsight, it probably was a terrible idea to spend money on🥲. I have tenants renting the house at the moment, so I would like to fix the situation for them, most likely getting the paint stripped. I’m not sure which professionals I required, if this is a job that you could help me with or you have a better suggestion, please let me know. I’ve included some photos for details and size of the bathroom is approximately 2x2m. - Due date: Flexible

Remove paint from windows (scissor lift & ladder needed)

$1,200

Oakleigh VIC, Australia

1st Sep 2022

Our warehouse has some black paint on the windows that needs removing. There's roughly 72 panes (see pics). Note some of the windows are approx. 6m high so you'll need to arrange for a scissor lift for this job (which we will reimburse you the cost for) and will need a decent ladder to reach some of the awkward ones. We don't know the paint type used. Have removed a small section using a scraper which didn't take it off very well. Next tried applying paint stripper for a few minutes which took it off much easier. The windows aren't smooth so that makes it a little difficult. Send me your email and I'll send you the video of both. Note budget is for labour charges. Any materials (within reason) we will reimburse you for but we expect you to be able to provide yourself. Job needs to be finished by Friday 9th September, please don't get in touch if this will be difficult for you. - Due date: Before Friday, 9 September 2022
