Default Refinishing varnished floor

Hi,

I have pine floorboards which I sanded and varnished some time ago
with Ronseal diamond hard clear satin varnish. The floor really needs
redoing - there are a few places where the varnish has come away,
after some very sticky adhesive tape was stuck to it and then pulled
up. Do I need to sand back to bare wood, or can I just key the
existing varnish and put on another couple of coats?

Cheers!

Martin

The latter normally works well enough with polyurethane but it sands
easily, and doesn't clog the paper, if you want to go the whole hog
