Surface Damage Repair Questions

Often yes. If the damage is localised, the marked area can be filled, levelled and blended into the surrounding finish so the repair is not visible. Replacing the piece is rarely necessary for a single area of damage.

Scratches collect wax and dirt over time, making them more visible. Dull patches tend to spread as the finish around them wears unevenly. A repair carried out while the damage is still contained is simpler than addressing a wider area later.

The damaged area is inspected first to check the depth. Dents and gouges are filled and levelled, then the area is sealed and finished with shellac in staged coats, with colour matching throughout, until it sits flush with the surrounding surface.

Both options are available. We can work at your property for fitted woodwork or larger pieces, or collect a freestanding item, carry out the repair in the workshop, and return it once finished.
