02Reglued

Old glue cleaned out, then reglued and clamped.

03Seat

Springs retied and padding renewed under the seat.

Things you can feel but not see

Common Questions

Can you quote from photos?

For surface damage, often. For anything that moves, creaks or sags, we need to see it and sit on it.

Is the visit free?

Yes, with a written quote.

Can a loose joint be fixed at home?

Small ones, yes. A frame that needs clamping overnight goes to the bench, and we collect and return it.

Is a wobbly chair worth fixing?

Usually. A cleaned and reglued joint is often stronger than the original. See recliners for mechanism work.

What if the springs are broken?

Broken coils are retied or replaced, and the deck is rebuilt, during reupholstery.

Do you repair fabric chairs too?

Yes, and vinyl too. See fabric.
