Old oak in the centre, worn varnish in rented flats
In the tenement houses of the centre and Kazimierz, the parquet has been sanded several times already, but it can usually be restored once more. The pro checks how much wood is left above the tongue, replaces individual blocks and fills the gaps. If the parquet was painted with oil paint, stripping it is a separate item in the price list. Add a close-up photo, ideally by the skirting board.
Flats let to students and tourists have floors that lose their looks fast: scratches from chairs, worn varnish by the door, stains by the bed. Between lets it's worth doing a sand with fresh varnish or oil. Say how many days the flat can stand empty, because the varnish needs time to dry before guests walk in with suitcases.

Questions about floor sanding and repair in Kraków
I found parquet under the carpet. Can it be saved?
Often yes, even when it's dirty and scratched. Pull back the carpet in one corner, take a photo and add it to the order. The pro will assess the thickness of the blocks and any damage.
How much does floor sanding cost in Kraków?
The price list has per-metre ranges calculated for Warsaw, so in Kraków they're a guide. The pro gives the amount in the offer, and varnish or oil is charged separately. The minimum is 300 zł.
Varnish or oil?
Varnish copes better with heavy use and water. Oil looks more natural but needs renewing. Say how the flat is used, and the pro will advise.
How long do I have to stay off the floor after varnishing?
It depends on the varnish and the number of coats. The pro will give the drying time in the offer, and putting full furniture weight on it usually comes later than walking on it in socks.
