This service is for built-in bookcases, large wardrobes, doors, and bed frames that have chips, dog scratches, or mover dents. A technician visits your home with portable hot-wax melting gear and artist pigment brushes to repair the damage in place.

How the repair process works

  1. 1Damage cleanup and fiber expansionWe clean rough edges and use localized steam to swell compressed wood fibers back up.
  2. 2Hard-wax melt and level scrapeWe melt blendable wax into the void and plane it flush with a specialized bevelled scraper.
  3. 3Grain line reconstructionWe paint matching grain patterns over the wax to break up solid color blocks.
  4. 4Aerosol sheen sealWe spray a low-mist clear coat matching the exact gloss level of your piece.

What local clients say about our bench work

★★★★★
Julian collected our loose Victorian dining table from our home in Edgbaston. He re-glued the legs with hide glue and leveled the split top. The table is completely rigid again and the surface looks authentic.
Arthur M., Birmingham, GB
★★★★★
Our set of four Edwardian dining chairs wobbled badly. They disassembled each joint, cleaned out the old crumbly adhesive, and clamped them tight with new oak dowels. Paid by bank transfer on return.
Fiona K., Solihull, GB
★★★★☆
Deep heat rings on an oak bureau top were treated and buffed with natural beeswax. The original patina remains intact without any harsh sanding marks. Good communication throughout the repair.
