Furniture repair service
Wobbling chairs, collapsed drawers, split table tops, broken bed slats and sagging wardrobe doors. We find the cause, rebuild the structure with the right joinery and adhesives, and blend every repair into the original piece.
Common repairs
Joints are dismantled, cleaned of old glue and rebuilt with new dowels and a structural adhesive.
Splits are closed and glued, gaps filled with matched timber and the surface levelled for refinishing.
Runners rebuilt or replaced, bottoms re-fixed and sides trued so drawers glide smoothly again.
Cracked rails, failed brackets and squeaking joints reinforced so the bed stays silent and stable.
Hinge holes plugged and re-drilled, hinges replaced and doors aligned so they close cleanly.
Mouldings, spindles, feet and trims remade by hand to match the profile and timber of the original.
Our repair process
1
We check every joint, rail and fixing, not only the obvious damage, so hidden weaknesses are caught early.
2
Failed joints are carefully separated. Old glue and broken dowels are cleaned out to bare, sound timber.
3
New dowels, splines, blocks or replacement parts are fitted and glued under clamp pressure to cure fully.
4
Repairs are shaped, sanded and colour-matched so they disappear into the original finish.
5
The piece is load-tested, checked for squeaks and wobble and inspected before it goes home.
Typical result
Old dining chairs are one of the most common pieces we repair. Years of leaning back loosens the joints, and once one joint goes, the others follow. Rebuilding all of them at once, rather than gluing the one that failed, is what makes the repair last.
After the frame is solid, we refresh the finish and, if needed, re-cover the seats so the whole set matches.

Questions & answers
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most before booking. If yours is not here, call or message us and a technician will help.
Yes. Clean breaks can be glued and reinforced with hidden dowels. Badly shattered legs can be remade in matching timber and finished to blend with the rest of the chair.
We aim for repairs that are not noticeable at normal viewing distance. Filled areas are colour-matched and finished along with the surrounding surface.
Yes, within limits. Stripped screw holes, broken cam fittings and loose panels can be reinforced. We will advise if the board itself is too damaged to hold fixings.
Small jobs such as hinge adjustments, door alignment and minor fixes can often be done on site. Structural work is done in the workshop.
Properly rebuilt joints usually outlast the original factory joints. Our structural repairs are covered by a written workmanship warranty.
