Why people stain their floors
Staining changes the natural colour of a wooden floor. It is one of the most effective ways to transform a room, and because it is done straight after sanding, it costs far less than a new floor.
Our customers stain their floors for all sorts of reasons:
- They do not like the natural colour of the timber
- Earlier repairs used timber that is a slightly different colour
- They want the floor to suit a particular colour scheme
- Some boards have water damage that needs to be blended in
- They simply fancy a change
Getting the colour right
Stain behaves differently on every floor. Pine, oak and parquet all take colour in their own way, and the age of the timber makes a difference too. That is why we always sand the floor first and then test your chosen colours on a small area, so you can see exactly how they look in your room and in your light before we go ahead.
Once the stain has dried, the floor is sealed with our usual hard wearing finish to protect the colour. Whatever your reason for staining, we can take an old, worn out floor and make it a real feature of the room.
Our staining process
-
Sand to bare wood
The floor is sanded through three grits so the stain takes evenly.
-
Colour samples
We test your shortlist of colours on the floor itself.
-
Even application
Stain applied by hand, board by board, to avoid lap marks.
-
Protective seal
Finished with lacquer or oil to lock in the colour.

An excellent job by Roy and Chris on our floors at St Anne's Church Hall in Moseley. They sanded and levelled the floor, repaired floorboards, fixed parquet blocks back down and finished it in lacquer. The difference is like night and day.

Our floors were in pretty bad shape after other trades had broken several boards. Roy and his son repaired, replaced and finished them and they all look great. Best of all, they took real care and did not leave a mess.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make my pine floorboards look like oak?
Stain can warm pine up and take it closer to oak tones, but pine has its own grain and character. We will show you samples so you know what to expect.
Can a dark stained floor be made lighter?
Yes, by sanding it back to bare wood. How light it can go depends on the timber, so we test first.
Will stain show scratches more?
Very dark and very light colours can show wear more than mid tones. We will advise on the most practical colour for busy rooms.
How long does staining add to the job?
Usually around a day, to allow the stain to dry properly before sealing.
