Floor Recoating & Resurfacing, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong & Central Coast
Refresh a worn timber floor finish without a full sand-back — faster, less disruptive, and often more affordable.
What Is Recoating?
Recoating — sometimes called a screen-and-recoat or buff-and-recoat — lightly abrades the top layer of an existing finish and applies a fresh coat over it, without sanding back to bare timber. It works when the timber itself is still in good condition and only the surface finish has dulled or lightly worn.
Is Recoating Right for Your Floor?
Recoating is usually suitable if:
- The floor looks dull, lightly scuffed or has minor wear in traffic lanes
- There is no deep scratching, gouging or water staining through to bare timber
- The existing finish is still intact enough to bond a new coat to
A full floor sand is the better option if there is visible damage through the finish, uneven boards, or the floor hasn't been resurfaced in many years. We'll tell you honestly which category your floor falls into during a free inspection — recoating is faster and cheaper, so we recommend it whenever it's genuinely a good fit.
Benefits of Recoating
Faster
Often completed in a single day rather than the multiple days a full sand requires.
Less Disruptive
Far less dust and noise than a full sand-back, with rooms usable again sooner.
Lower Cost
Without the need to remove and rebuild the full finish, recoating is typically more affordable per square metre.
