Sealine Worn Wooden Flooring advise needed

[F33Man]

Looking for some advise on treating wear on a sealine wooden floor, we recently purchased the boat so I don't know the type of wood so if someone could let me know that would be great. It seems there is a spot of excessive wear on parts of the wooden floor resulting in a darker area, does anyone know how this could be masked or retreated? We are also deciding on placing a small amount of Carpet over the wooden area to eliminate the possibility of this happening again and to prolong the finish.

Close up of the unknown wood?

That looks like water has got under the finish and darkened the wood. It will be teak or similar. You need to determine whether it is solid or (more likely) veneer, strip the current finish off without damaging the surface, clean with oxalic acid to remove the staining and refinish.

Thanks for the reply Tranona - it could be water damage - when you say strip the current surface what would you say the best way of doing this is? Sanding/wire Wool etc

Looks like an oil stain to me. If so, you could try repeated treatment with an oil absorbent spray (google K2R - spray on, leave overnight, wipe off)), which may lighten it but probably wont remove it completely. Teak cleaner may also help, though i'm not sure about oxalic acid, which is normally used to brighten teak which has turned grey.

It could be an oil stain, here is another picture of another worn step on the boat so I don't know if this further explains what the issue could be - it doesn't look at dark as the other step so this may just need re varnished

We are still looking to get this sorted - I think the stain may have been caused by wear. Does anyone know someone in the Portsmouth area who specialises in wooden flooring repairs?

do you know if they offer a fitting service?

Not sure, sorry. I've re-laminated deck boards. If your ok at carpentry its not too difficult. Use a decent epoxy adhesive such as West System.

They may know a man who can.
