resurfacers

They smooth things over

Resurfacers are machines or workers that restore worn surfaces to smooth condition.

Ice resurfacers (like the Zamboni) shave and flood ice rinks between skating sessions.

Road resurfacers lay new asphalt over deteriorated pavement.

The term also applies to power tools that grind down wood floors or concrete for refinishing.
