Repairing finishes on newer Cockburn Central floors

Peeling floor finish repaired in Cockburn Central

Cockburn Central is one of Perth’s newest town centres, so most of its apartments and townhouses are only a few years old. Even so, we often see floor finishes failing early – peeling near doorways, cloudy white marks, or scratches through a thin factory coating. Floor sanding in Cockburn Central and recoating can put that right.

Peeling or flaking usually means the finish didn’t bond properly, and the floor needs to be abraded or sanded so a new coat can grip. White marks often come from moisture or heat under the surface. Light scratches in the finish can be removed with a recoat, while deeper ones may need sanding if the timber layer allows.

We’ll identify the cause before recommending a fix, so the problem doesn’t come back.

How we fix floor finishes in Cockburn Central

We find the cause first, then choose the right repair.

  1. Site check and quote

    We look at the timber type, board condition and any old finish before giving a price.

  2. Clear and protect

    Rooms are cleared, nails set below the surface and doorways protected.

  3. Level the floor

    The main sander removes old coatings and evens out cupped or worn boards.

  4. Finish the detail

    Edges, corners and thresholds sanded, then the floor is filled and fine-sanded.

  5. Seal and polish

    Finish coats are applied and left to cure so the floor is tough and easy to clean.
