Fixing water-stained timber floors in Riverton

Water-stained boards replaced in a Riverton kitchen

In many Riverton homes, the worst damage to the timber floor isn’t from foot traffic – it’s from water. Slow leaks under the sink, a dishwasher that dripped for months or pot plants left on the floor can leave grey or black stains in the timber. Timber floor sanding in Riverton can remove many of these marks, and board replacement handles the rest.

Light grey marks sit in the finish or the top of the timber and usually sand out. Dark black stains have soaked deeper and often won’t fully remove. In those cases, we cut out the damaged boards and replace them with matching timber before sanding and polishing the whole floor so the repair blends in.

Before any repair, the leak needs to be fixed and the floor allowed to dry out. Sanding a damp floor can lead to more problems later.

How we repair and refinish Riverton floors

Damaged boards are dealt with first, then the floor is sanded and coated.

  1. Plan the job

    We agree on timing, which rooms go first and the finish you want.

  2. Main sanding

    The floor sander removes old coatings and levels the boards in progressively finer passes.

  3. Sanding passes

    Coarse, medium and fine grits flatten the floor and take it back to fresh timber.

  4. Edges, gaps and detail

    Edges and corners are sanded and nail holes and gaps filled to match.

  5. Apply the finish

    Your chosen coating goes on in several coats for a tough, even surface.

Floor sanding Riverton – common questions

Can water stains be sanded out?

Light grey marks usually sand out. Dark black stains have gone deeper and often need the boards replaced.

Can individual boards be replaced?

Yes. We cut out damaged boards and fit matching timber, then sand the whole floor so the repair blends in.

Should the floor dry out before repairs?

Yes. The leak must be fixed and the floor dry before sanding or repairs.

Will replacement boards match the old floor?

We choose matching or recycled timber. After sanding and coating, repairs usually blend well.
