Repairing a water damaged floor

Sounds like a fair thing. Something to keep in mind - thanks.

Hi Mick,
as usual your practical experience is greatly appreciated.
In fact we're building a new house and wanted red ironbark on the bathroom floor. And were thinking of the one piece shower enclosure.

What worried us was how to protect the floor. We were thinking an oil finish or is polyurethane a better way to go. What do you think? What's on the 20 year old floor?

Many thanks
Phil

The old floor has Wattyl estapol 2 pack on it (which was pretty much all you could get then). I haven't kept up with all the new finishes and tend to leave it to the floor sander/finisher and the client to work out. If thats Mosman NQ you hail from (just up the road from me) go and talk to the fellows at Cairns Coating in Scott street. If you're at the other Mosman in Sydney sorry can't help you. I know they're spelt diferently but I can never remember which is which.

Mick
