Surface Revival

Bringing Timber Back To Life

Scratched, dull or worn timber can change the entire feel of your home. Professional floor sanding in Cairns should do more than smooth the surface. It should transform the space. At Scott Johnston Floor Sanding, we specialise in timber floor sanding and polishing that restores natural beauty while adding long-lasting protection.


Our sanding process uses modern machinery to strip back tired timber, creating a smooth, clean surface ready for finishing. Once the grain is revealed, we apply non-toxic finishes in your choice of gloss, satin or matte. The result is a vibrant, durable floor that enhances your home and stands up to everyday living.

Long-Term Protection

A Finish That Lasts

Restoring timber floors properly requires preparation, precision and the right finishing products. Every floor sanding project follows a careful process to deliver consistent, durable results.


  • Assessment – Floors are inspected for scratches, worn areas and moisture concerns before sanding begins.
  • Sanding – Old coatings are removed and the surface is levelled evenly.
  • Finishing – Non-toxic coatings are applied in gloss, satin or matte to suit your style and lifestyle.
  • Final Result – A polished, refreshed floor that looks vibrant and feels solid underfoot.


When completed correctly, timber floors are easier to maintain and built to last. If your floors are ready for restoration, get in touch to discuss your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should timber floors be sanded?

    A full sand and polish is usually only required every 10 to 15 years, depending on wear and timber thickness. Regular cleaning and occasional recoating can help extend the life of the finish and delay major restoration work.

  • Is floor sanding messy or disruptive?

    Modern floor sanding is a tidy and well-managed process. With the use of advanced machinery and thorough preparation, the work area is kept as clean and organised as possible. While some minor disruption is expected during the process, care is taken to minimise impact on your home and daily routine.

  • What finish is best for timber floors?

    The best finish depends on lifestyle and design preferences. Gloss creates a more polished look, satin offers a balanced sheen and matte provides a softer, natural appearance. Non-toxic, water-based finishes are often preferred for their durability and suitability for families and pets.
