Paint over stains/damage wall and ceiling

$200

I’m so happy with the work that Kaliopi has done with my stained glass window from my front door. He attended my property promptly assessed the situation and removed the window to me taken off for repair & left me with a high-quality fitting in the door that was secure and aesthetically pleasing while the stained glass was repaired. The entire turnaround time was only a few days and this was just before the hectic Christmas festive season. He is very skilled and knows everything you need to know and has a lot of experience with the repair and maintenance of stained glass windows. The price was very fair for the craftsmanship done I’ve had a few quotes from companies around the area that we are all booked out for months in advance that were double the price. I cannot fault his work or professionalism I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting stained glass window repairs.

What do staining services include?

Stain can be applied on different surfaces such as wood, brick, and concrete, which means the details for each service may vary. Don’t worry; we prepared a rundown of the essential staining services you may encounter when hiring an expert on Airtasker.  

 

Staining prep 

First, a clear work area is ideal when staining. Extra furniture, potted plants, and frames must be removed. Staining your property or furniture will usually include cleaning it first. A Tasker can only proceed once the surface is completely dry for large surfaces such as concrete floors, wooden fences, and brick walls that need to be washed. If staining will take place outdoors, it’s essential to check the weather conditions.

 

Wood Staining 

When we talk of wood staining, it usually refers to fences and wooden furniture. Staining a fence gives your wood that splash of colour and protection it needs. Furniture stain may be applied to wooden cabinets, chairs, tables, bookcases, bassinets, bed frames, and doors. The wood doesn’t have to be new because restaining furniture is also possible. 

 

Good news: Airtasker can help you with your wood repair, and deck staining needs as well.

 

Brick Staining 

Whether it’s your walls, chimney, or fireplace, your home’s bricks need some care, too. The advantage of brick staining over brick painting is that stain accentuates the brick’s natural texture, and the finished product requires less maintenance. 

 

Before staining the whole surface, your hired expert may first test the swatch on a small patch of brick to ensure that they have achieved the desired colour. The colour can be lightened or darkened by adding water or pigment. 

 

Concrete Staining 

Staining can also be done on concrete floors and walls, and you can easily find concrete staining contractors near you on our platform. Much like brick staining, your hired specialist will first test the stain on a small part of concrete before applying it to the rest of the surface. 

 

After staining, your Tasker may apply a sealer to ensure that the concrete retains its seamless appearance. When the staining and sealing process is finished and your hired specialist has checked the surface, they will pack up their equipment. 

 

But if you’ve decided that staining isn’t the right fit for you, various painting services are also available on our platform.

I am looking for a carpet cleaning service as I have a stain on my carpet from a recent incident involving my cat spilling milk. I have tried to use baking soda to remove it, but unfortunately, it hasn’t worked, and I need to address this issue as I am moving out next week.

Share my positive experience with your service. The person who helped me arrived right on time and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend having her again for future requirements. Her communication was great, which made my first time using the app much smoother. Also, I really appreciated her coming down despite the parking issues—I decided to give her a tip for that.

Remove rust stains from concrete

$180

Brunswick VIC, Australia

10th Oct 2024

There are a about 6-8 small/faded rust stains and one larger one. The staining is on concrete - in an outdoor apartment on the 5th floor. I have tried to remove the stains with vinegar and CLR, but they are stubborn. Need a professional to take this on with stronger products. I need this work done quickly – as I’ve already moved out of the property and have been asked to rectify following exit report. Would be great if it can be done by lunchtime Monday, but have some flexibility into next week. Building has lift access, but there’s no water source on the balcony. Private parking under building also available for smaller vehicles.

Karl helped us out with some rust stains and we were really happy with the result. :)

Carpet stain removal - Prahran, today

$110

Prahran VIC, Australia

16th Jul 2024

Hello! In attempting to remove a small stain (suspected pet vomit), we have made things worse! This might be unrecoverable - but I’d feel better knowing I got in a pro to give it a shot. Basically the original stain lifted ok but we have water and soap residue. Hoping to have someone make best efforts with a commercial machine today. Carpet is still damp and has some soap residue from napisan. Stain removal only, you don’t need to do the whole room. No unrealistic expectations on my part. Please confirm your availability and equipment when bidding.

Siti is super professional, friendly and punctual! Highly recommended.
