Keen to repair a precious piece of furniture this autumn? If you’re not familiar with techniques, you might not know where to begin. 

Whether it’s a scratched tabletop, water damage or a faded finish, knowing your options is the first step. At Prestige French Polishing, we combine traditional skills with modern techniques to restore and transform furniture to its original beauty, or better.

Here’s a complete breakdown of the most popular and effective repair services we offer our clients in and around Islington:

French Polishing

French polishing is a time-honoured method using shellac to build up a deep, rich, high-gloss finish. It’s especially effective on antiques and fine woods. It’s ideal for restoring classic pieces where detail, warmth and authenticity matter. 

This method takes time and care, but the results are unsurpassed when it comes to the sophisticated results. 

Lacquer Finishes & Colour Spraying

For modern interiors or commercial environments, lacquer finishes are ideal, thanks to their more durable, resilient surface. We offer a full spectrum of colours and sheens, from matt to high gloss. 

We team ensure a flawless, even coat that breathes new life into tired pieces.

Oiling, Waxing, and Colour Matching

Sometimes a small enhancement is all a piece needs. Oiling and waxing nourish the timber and bring out its natural grain. If you’re blending new furniture with old, our colour matching and staining expertise ensures seamless results. Unsure of what finish suits your home? We can provide samples to guide your decision.

Scratch, Chip, and Water Damage Repairs

As the years pass, daily wear and tear is inevitable. We fix scratches, dents, ring marks and chips on everything from dining tables to cabinets. 

Water damage repairs are also a common request, especially in older homes. Our team uses the finest tools and advanced techniques to restore surfaces without evidence of past damage.

Magicman Repairs

Our Magicman service is popular for intricate repairs on-site. Whether it’s laminate, veneer, marble, or UPVC, we handle surface restoration without full replacement. It’s cost-effective, fast, and leaves no trace of the repair.

Marble Restoration and Polishing

Marble is a premium surface often found in homes and businesses in London. The only problem is that it tends to stain and scratch easily.

We offer complete marble restorations in Islington and the surrounding locations, including stain removal and re-polishing. This can revive everything from countertops to tabletops. We also polish brass and metal finishes as part of our restoration packages.
