Frequently Asked Questions

🤔 How much will it cost to re-finish my table/chairs/sideboard etc?

🙂 Dining table prices can start from around £180+ for smaller size 1 piece table tops and from around £240 + for tables with separate leaves and if your table seats 8 or more then £320+ is the likely price area. Chair refinishing prices start (at lowest) from around £70 – 85 per chair to re-finish based on their existing finish (if can be rubbed down instead of stripped and how much (if any) detail.
Small sized sideboards can start from around the £280 area and going higher in price if large or with dresser tops for example.

🤔 Do you re-finish Pine/Softwood Furniture ?

🙂 Yes regularly, both in paint and clear lacquer finishes or a combination. When re-finishing softwood it often needs a barrier primer (instead of standard) to block knots and resin which can bleed and show through the finish later on.

🤔 Is there a collection & delivery charge?

🙂 For most Island addresses I usually add £10 to the job quote for taking your job away and delivering it back to you to cover fuel and time costs – this cost can be more if it’s a larger item that needs another helper if you cannot or choose not to assist in it’s removal.
