Why Choose Recoating?

  • Preservation of Integrity: Unlike sanding and refinishing, recoating involves applying a fresh layer of finish over the existing one, preserving the floor’s structural integrity and enhancing its appearance.

  • Ideal for Tired Finishes: Perfect for floors showing signs of wear and tear, recoating revitalises the surface by covering minor imperfections and bringing back its original lustre.

  • Knowledgeable Guidance: Our experienced team provides expert advice on selecting the best products tailored to your floor’s current finish and condition, ensuring optimal results and a seamless rejuvenation process.

  • Efficiency and Convenience: Recoating is a cost-effective alternative that minimises disruption to your daily life or business operations. Enjoy a refreshed wood floor with minimal downtime.

Before scheduling a recoating service, assess your floor’s condition to determine if recoating is suitable. For floors with minor wear and tear appearances, recoating with a fresh coat of oil finish can effectively resolve issues. However, if your floor exhibits more severe imperfections such as water damage, permanent stains, or deep scratches, additional treatments like sanding may be necessary for comprehensive restoration.

Maintenance Tips for Oil-Finished Floors

  • Regular Cleaning: Due to the faster wear-off of oil finishes, establish a routine for regular cleaning to maintain the floor's appearance and durability. Professional cleaning and maintenance services can extend the lifespan of your wood floors.

  • Protective Measures: Enhance the longevity of your oil-finished floors by taking proactive steps. Train pets to prevent accidents that can damage the finish, limit the use of outdoor footwear indoors to reduce scratching, trim pet nails regularly to minimise surface marks, and strategically place doormats at entry points to minimise dust and dirt accumulation.

  • Immediate Spill Cleanup: Act swiftly to clean up spills to prevent them from seeping into the wood and causing stains. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to blot the spill, then clean the area with a mild cleaner suitable for wood floors.

  • Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect your oil-finished floors for signs of wear, scratches, or areas needing touch-ups. Addressing minor issues promptly can prevent them from escalating into more significant problems.

  • Professional Maintenance: Schedule periodic professional maintenance to replenish the protective layer of your oil finish and address any developing issues. Professional services ensure thorough cleaning, reoiling, and recoating to keep your floors looking pristine.

How Often Does the Floor Need to be Polished?


How often will you want to polish your floor depends on the individual floor and the factors affecting it. Naturally, the more heavy footfall, high traffic, and extensive use, the quicker wear and tear will your floor experience and the more often you would like to polish and refresh it. Although wood floor polishing is one of the fewer wood floor treatments that do not require professional help necessarily, if you don’t feel confident enough to finish the job all by yourself, or you simply don’t have the time and energy, we recommend you leave the project in the safe hands of experienced professionals.
