Gym floor refinishing.
Full sand to bare wood, new lines, new finish.
What a refinish does
A refinish sands the floor down to bare wood. It removes the old finish, the old game lines and surface wear like scratches, gouges and discolouration. Then the floor is sealed, the lines are repainted and new finish coats go on.
It’s the right call when a recoat can’t fix the problem: the finish is worn through to the wood, the wood has greyed or stained, or you want new lines or a new logo.
Most floors need a refinish every 8 to 10 years, depending on use. Annual recoats in between help stretch that.
Which one does your floor need?
Budgets often call both jobs “refinishing.” Here’s the difference.
| Recoat | Refinish | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | Top coat screened, fresh finish applied | Sanded to bare wood; new seal, lines and finish |
| When | Every year (twice for daily-use floors) | Every 8 to 10 years, or when wear reaches the wood |
| Game lines | Stay as they are | Repainted, or changed to a new layout or logo |
| Cost | Far lower | Higher, but far less than a new floor |
What you get
Far less than a new floor
Refinishing restores the surface at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
A safer playing surface
Removes worn, slippery and uneven spots and restores consistent traction.
A clean slate for lines and logos
The floor is already down to bare wood, so it’s the best time to change lines or add a logo.
How a refinish works
Assess
We check the floor’s age and condition and what products are on it now, then recommend the right approach.
Sand
We sand the floor to bare wood, edge the perimeter, and remove the old finish and lines. Then it’s vacuumed and tacked clean.
Seal and paint lines
Seal coats go down, then game lines and any logo are painted to your layout.
Finish
Protective finish coats go on and cure before the floor goes back into play.
