Timber floors bring warmth, elegance and timeless character to Perth homes and businesses, but everyday traffic slowly wears down their protective coating. Timber floor polishing and recoating is the ideal way to refresh tired or dull floors without the cost and disruption of a full sand.
At Instyle Timber Flooring, we specialise in timber floor polishing Perth homeowners can rely on. Our team carefully assesses each floor to determine whether you need a light buff and recoat or a more intensive refinishing approach. We use quality finishes and careful preparation to restore clarity, colour and sheen while protecting your timber against future wear.
If your coating is badly worn, flaking or peeling, we may recommend full floor sanding first, followed by polishing and coating. If the existing coating is sound but looking dull, a professional timber floor recoating can make a dramatic difference with less downtime.
Not every floor needs a full sand. In many cases, a timber floor polishing and recoating service is enough to bring your floors back to life. Your floors may be ready for polishing if you notice:
If the timber underneath is still in good condition, we can lightly abrade the surface and apply fresh coats, extending the life of your floors and delaying the need for a full resand.
We follow a proven process for timber floor refinishing to achieve a smooth, even finish that looks great and wears well. A typical polishing and recoating job includes:
Dry and cure times depend on the coating type and weather, but in most Perth homes you can usually walk in socks after the initial cure, and bring furniture back once the coating has had time to harden. We explain exactly what to expect and how to care for your newly polished floors.
We polish and recoat a wide range of timber species commonly found in Perth homes, including Jarrah, Marri, Blackbutt, Oak and other hardwood floors. Each timber responds slightly differently to finishes, so we tailor our approach to suit your specific floor.
You can choose from modern water-based coatings, traditional solvent-based polyurethane and other options, with finishes available in gloss, semi-gloss and satin/low sheen. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each so your polished floors suit both your lifestyle and your interior style.

It depends on the condition of both the coating and the timber. If the coating is simply dull or lightly scratched but still intact, a timber floor polishing and recoating service is often enough. If the coating is badly worn through, peeling or the boards are uneven, we may recommend full sanding before refinishing.
Most standard polishing and recoating jobs in Perth homes can be completed within one to two days, depending on the size of the area and the number of coats required. We’ll give you a clear timeframe before we start so you can plan around the work.
This depends on the coating used and the weather. In many cases you can walk on the floors in socks after the initial cure period, but furniture and rugs should wait until the coating has hardened. We’ll provide specific guidance for your job so your new finish lasts as long as possible.
