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. Â
Â
Staining prepÂ
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.
Â
Wood StainingÂ
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.Â
Â
Good news: Airtasker can help you with your wood repair, and deck staining needs as well.
Â
Brick StainingÂ
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.Â
Â
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.Â
Â
Concrete StainingÂ
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.Â
Â
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.Â
Â
But if you’ve decided that staining isn’t the right fit for you, various painting services are also available on our platform.Â

Re-staining of some built in furniture, townhouse in Soho London

Soho, Greater London, W1F
11th Sep 2025
Hi, *Budget suggested is a guess as I am unsure the the cost of this service* I require the urgent re-staining of the three items below in a Soho London townhouse. Images attached. - 1 x large built in bookshelf - 1 x bathroom vanity - 1 x interior of an open wardrobe I have also attached a reference image for the colour which is the ceiling colour of the picture of living room with the white couch. We have permission from the landlord and the property is located in central Soho. I can provide access to the townhouse at any time. If you could please provide a quote, earliest availability and approx time required to complete the job that would be great as the project needs to be completed asap! If you could you please also send your suggested stain colour you would like to use. Thank you!
Repaint stained ceiling
£200
Westbourne Green, Greater London
9th Sep 2025
There are two areas in the house where a leak from upstairs stained the ceiling. The ceiling needs restoration. For the ceiling standard white paint is required however there is a matte gray painted area in the bathroom that requires a gray paint that I will try and source ahead of time. There is a step ladder in the house but might be too short depending on height, so a ladder may be required. There is a stained area in a built-in wood wardrobe, if we can apply varnish to restore the wood (or any alternative suggestion from you) it would be much appreaciated. So overall jobs include: - Scrape & sand (removing flaking paint) - Clean (washing and drying) - Fill cracks (with filler, then sand smooth) - Prime (apply stain blocker) - Paint (first coat and blending edges) - Finish (second coat, feathered out)

Andrew did an incredible job sanding down and oiling my staircase and front door. He was on time, diligent, personable and did the work to the highest standard despite it being a much trickier job than anticipated. I would recommend him without any reservations. Thank you so much!
