How We Apply Professional Wood Coating

Our proven 4-step process ensures perfect results every time

1
Surface Preparation & Sanding
Professional sanding with 180–320 grit to remove imperfections and create ultra-smooth base. For MDF, includes edge preparation and dent filling. Critical foundation for flawless finish.
2
Base Coating (Epoxy/Sealer)
For MDF: 1–2 coats of epoxy for edge sealing and moisture protection. For solid wood: Sealer application. Ensures proper adhesion and prevents wood absorption.
3
Filler/Primer Application
Multiple white filler coats (2–3 layers) with sanding between each coat. Creates perfectly smooth, blemish-free surface. Each coat must dry 4–6 hours before next application.
4
Top Coat & Finishing
Final protective coating applied in 1–2 coats for PU, or 6–8 coats for Polyester. Professional buffing for mirror finish (Polyester only). Complete curing takes 24–48 hours.
⏱️
Process Timeline: Standard PU coating takes 4–5 days. Premium Polyester requires 7–10 days due to multiple coats and buffing. Timeline may extend for larger areas (300+ sq ft).

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about wood coating

How much does wood coating cost?
Wood coating costs in Bangalore range from ₹45/sq ft for basic hand polish & varnish to ₹125/sq ft for premium Italian PU coating. Most homeowners choose PU coating at ₹85/sq ft for the best balance of durability and cost. Final pricing depends on wood type, surface area, and coating choice. Use our calculator above for exact pricing for your project.
What is the best coating for wooden furniture?
PU (Polyurethane) coating is the most recommended for furniture — it lasts 7–10 years, resists water and scratches, and comes in matt or gloss finish. For MDF/HDF, Color PU with epoxy base gives the best edge sealing. For solid wood, Clear PU preserves the natural grain. For a premium mirror look, Polyester High Gloss is unmatched.
How long does wood coating last?
Melamine coating lasts 3–5 years. PU coating lasts 7–10 years. Polyester High Gloss lasts 5–7 years. Hand polish lasts 3–5 years. Longevity depends on usage intensity, moisture exposure, and maintenance. High-traffic furniture like kitchen cabinets may need touch-up sooner.
Can you coat MDF with PU coating?
Yes — PU coating on MDF requires an epoxy base coat first to seal the edges and prevent moisture absorption. Without the epoxy base, MDF edges will swell and bubble. Our Color PU process uses epoxy + white filler (2 coats) + PU top coat, giving MDF superior durability and a flawless finish.
Do you provide free site visit?
Yes, we provide a 100% free site visit with no obligation. Our expert will assess your furniture, measure the area, recommend the right coating, and give you an exact quote on the spot. Book via the "Book Free Site Visit" button above.
What's included in the quoted price?
The quoted price includes surface preparation & sanding, base coat (epoxy/sealer), filler/primer coats, top coat application, and cleanup. It does not include deep repair work (water damage, veneer replacement) or furniture shifting. A 1 year warranty is included on workmanship.

Wood Polishing Calculator – Get Instant Cost Estimate


Planning to polish your doors, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, or wooden furniture? Estimating the cost manually can be confusing. That’s where our Wood Polishing Calculator makes things simple.


What Is the Wood Polishing Calculator?


The Wood Polishing Calculator is a smart tool designed to help homeowners calculate approximate polishing costs based on:


  • Total wood surface area
  • Type of polish selected
  • Property type (flat, villa, office)
  • City-specific pricing variations
  • Condition of existing polish

Instead of calling multiple contractors, you can get an instant ballpark estimate in seconds.


Why Use a Wood Polish Cost Calculator?


1. Budget Planning Made Easy


Before starting renovation, you can clearly understand your expected spending and avoid last-minute surprises.


2. Compare Polish Types


You can compare:


  • PU vs Melamine cost difference
  • Premium vs standard finishes
  • Glossy vs matte finish pricing

This helps you choose what suits your budget and interior style.


3. City-Specific Estimates


Polishing costs may vary between:


  • Mumbai (higher labor cost)
  • Bangalore (moderate pricing)
  • Pune (comparatively economical)

The calculator adjusts estimates based on location trends.


How to Calculate Wood Polishing Area?


Here’s a simple method:


  • Door Size: Approx. 21 sq. ft. per side
  • Wardrobe (7x4 ft): Approx. 28 sq. ft. per panel
  • Kitchen Cabinets: Measure length × height

If unsure, you can enter approximate dimensions — the calculator will provide a working estimate.


What Factors Affect Wood Polishing Cost?


  • Type of Polish: Premium finishes like PU or Polyester cost more than Melamine.
  • Surface Condition: Old polish removal and heavy sanding increase labor.
  • Number of Coats: More coats = better durability + higher cost.
  • Design Detailing: Grooves, carvings, and designer panels require extra effort.
  • Accessibility: Polishing high wardrobes or fixed panels may increase labor time.

When Should You Consider Wood Polishing?


  • Furniture looks dull or faded
  • Scratches are visible
  • Water stains appear
  • Renovating interiors
  • Upgrading to a modern glossy or matte finish

Polishing can completely transform the look of your interiors without replacing furniture.


Benefits of Professional Wood Polishing


  • Smooth, even finish
  • Long-lasting protection
  • Dust-controlled sanding
  • Proper surface preparation
  • Professional-grade materials

DIY polishing may seem cheaper, but professional polishing ensures durability and a premium finish.
