Sauna Maintenance in Turku
Regular sauna maintenance helps keep the benches, wooden surfaces, sauna stones and other parts of the sauna in good condition. High temperatures and humidity continuously put materials under stress, which can cause wooden surfaces to become dirty and dry over time, while sauna stones can wear, crack and deteriorate.
We provide sauna maintenance services in Turku and the surrounding areas for a variety of needs. Our services include sauna stone replacement, oiling and treatment of sauna benches, maintenance of other wooden surfaces and general sauna maintenance work. You can order a single maintenance task or a more comprehensive sauna maintenance package that includes several services.
What does sauna maintenance include?
The scope of maintenance depends on the condition of the sauna and the customer's needs. We can carry out, for example, the following work:
Our installer can carry out one individual maintenance task or several tasks during the same visit.
Sauna stone replacement
Sauna stones are materials that wear out in use. Continuous heating and cooling puts stress on the stones, and over time they may crack, crumble and produce stone dust or small fragments.
How often sauna stones need to be replaced depends on the type of heater, how frequently the sauna is used and the condition of the stones. Their condition should be checked regularly, and broken or heavily deteriorated stones should be replaced when necessary.
We can remove the old sauna stones and arrange the new stones properly in the heater.
If a fault in the electrical components of the sauna heater is discovered during the work, electrical work requiring a qualified electrical professional is not included in standard sauna maintenance.
Oiling and treatment of sauna benches
Sauna benches are constantly exposed to moisture, heat and dirt from regular use. Over time, the wood may dry out, darken or develop an uneven colour.
Proper cleaning and treatment help protect the wooden surfaces and keep the sauna looking clean and well maintained for longer.
Depending on the condition of the benches, we can clean them, carry out light sanding when needed and apply a protective treatment using a product suitable for sauna surfaces.
Treatment of wooden sauna surfaces
In addition to the benches, other wooden surfaces in the sauna may also require maintenance. The surfaces to be treated and the necessary work stages depend on the sauna structure and the condition of the wood.
Before starting the work, our installer assesses the condition of the wooden surfaces and the treatment required.
For surfaces in good condition, cleaning and protective treatment may be sufficient. If the wood is heavily soiled, dry or uneven, additional preparation or light sanding may be required before treatment.
How often should a sauna be maintained?
There is no single maintenance interval that applies to every sauna. The need for maintenance depends on factors such as how often the sauna is used, how many people use it and the condition of the benches, other wooden surfaces and sauna stones.
A sauna used several times a week naturally requires maintenance more often than one used only occasionally.
It is a good idea to inspect the condition of the sauna regularly. Maintaining sauna stones, benches and other wooden surfaces in time can help prevent the need for more extensive restoration work later.

The price of sauna maintenance depends on the size of the sauna, the condition of the surfaces and the amount of work required. The prices below are indicative.

Household tax deduction for sauna maintenance

We recommend checking the current guidance from the Finnish Tax Administration to confirm which work qualifies for the household tax deduction in your situation.
Frequently asked questions about sauna maintenance
How much does sauna maintenance cost?
The price depends on the work required, the size of the sauna and the condition of the surfaces. For example, sauna stone replacement starts at around €90, while more comprehensive sauna maintenance involving several work stages may cost around €180–250 or more.
How often should sauna stones be replaced?
The need for replacement depends on how often the heater is used and the condition of the stones. If the stones have started to crack or crumble, or if many small stone fragments have accumulated, their condition should be checked and worn stones replaced.
Do I need to buy the new sauna stones myself?
This can be agreed when placing the order. If you already have the new sauna stones, we can carry out only the replacement work. If you need help obtaining materials, please let us know in advance.
Why should sauna benches be treated?
Proper treatment helps protect wooden surfaces from moisture and dirt and keeps the benches looking clean for longer. Regular maintenance can also make future cleaning easier.
Can old and darkened sauna benches be treated?
In many cases, yes. The result depends on the condition of the wood. Darkened or worn benches may require thorough cleaning and possibly light sanding before protective treatment.
How long does sauna maintenance take?
The duration depends on the size of the sauna and the amount of work ordered. A small individual maintenance task can be completed relatively quickly, while a package including sauna stone replacement, bench cleaning and treatment of wooden surfaces requires more time.
Do I need to prepare the sauna before the installer arrives?
The sauna must be cool. It is also advisable to remove unnecessary items and make sure the installer has clear access to the heater, benches and other surfaces to be maintained.
Can sauna stone replacement and bench treatment be ordered for the same visit?
Yes. Sauna stone replacement, bench treatment and other sauna maintenance tasks can be combined into one visit, allowing several maintenance needs to be handled at the same time.
