Walnut is back in fashion! This table had been in storage for a few years and looking a bit patchy from neglect. The refinish revealed its true nature and stunned the owners!

Feel the beauty in this table just waiting to be released! This large round macrocarpa table made with loving care by the owners father was battered and neglected over the years, but bought to life with some tender loving care... and a good Doctor.

Who doesn't love a classic kiwi native timber kitchen benchtop? They are really a joy to restore and give the kitchen a totally new feel while being a surprisingly low cost compared to replacement. If you know someone with a benchtop that could do with some love and care... reach out to us on [email protected]

If you're a property manager, you know that sinking feeling when you inspect a property after the tenant has left, and find nasty stains and scratches. Take the stress away and call the Timber Doctor and we'll sort it for you!

Great review from Doug M.... "Better than a timber doctor, Grant is a timber magician. We've had him repair timber veneer defects in a few projects and have been extremely happy with the results. Highly recommended"

There was no magic here! Just a bit of luck that the vivid orange stain from leaking pot plants hadn't reached the wood and made it dark and rotted. It still required some finesse to peel back the layers of poly without touching the blonded floor. Final touch up removed the imperfections and made the floor like new. The customer was thrilled as the stain was only discovered after the house had been sold and the only other option was sanding back the whole floor!

Would you be happy with this repair? .........It's all about expectations. When I work directly with a customer I make sure I describe realistically the expected result from a repair. Rarely are they invisible but usually well disguised.

My customer here was the builder who had done the damage, but the home owner expected a brand new floor even though the rest was in a bad state with dog scratches and widespread delamination.

What do you think of the repair? The description from the home owner was "This is the first thing you see when you walk in our house and this repair is not OK"

Some of it comes down to lighting and how close you hold the camera.
