Robbie did a great job and was super helpful with providing tips and advice too. I would definitely recommend and will use Robbie's services again!
Fix wooden pocket sliding door
$120
We had a broken dining table leg on a three-leg pedestal base, which made repair tricky. He handcrafted a new leg to match the original design and colour, and helped re-assemble the table. The new leg looks even better than the original, and he added protective floor pads for stability. We’re so happy with the result — he completely exceeded our expectations. Excellent service: personable, quick, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

What do wood repair services include?
Repairing wood is a broad specialisation, but Airtasker is here to help you connect with experts to have your pieces look new or even better. Some materials show their age poorly, especially wooden pieces that previous generations have come to be fond of and passed on to the current generation. From fixing minor imperfections to restoring pieces to be faithful to the original or even make it more usable and durable, here are just some of the services you can expect from wood carpenters near you via Airtasker:
Repairing gouges and scratches
Wood scratch repair and wood gouge repair are simpler repairs that can be done to pieces that have been blemished with relatively minor imperfections. Think about making oak scratch repairs for polished timber floors or existing wooden fences. Taskers will sand down the surface in need of repair and apply the necessary fix to make it better: be it a simple buff to restore scratched wood or the use of fillers to treat gouges. A wood finish will then be applied to protect the surface from damage which should boost durability.
Wood restoration
Sometimes, wood cannot be brought back to working order with a simple wood repair near you. A complete restoration is needed to bring your pieces back to life. Be it because of old age or excessive damage due to misuse or forces of nature, let Taskers be your handymen to get restorations done with finesse. Your furniture would look better than it did before!
Wood veneer repair and restoration
Wood veneer is a thin layer of wood glued on top of wood, metal, or other surfaces. The goal of a wood veneer is to add a different and better-controlled look and feel to your pieces. However, given the use of a thin layer of wood which is a naturally occurring material, repair and restoration are pretty much inevitable at some point. Have Taskers do the repairs for you, and they’ll come back with shiny pieces that look like treasures that you cherish.
Modernising antiques
Sometimes it’s not enough to simply restore scratched wood, especially for antique furniture. For the modernist who wants a functional piece of history in the house, Taskers can fix or repair antique furniture. Up to you if you merely wish to have it restored aesthetically or if you want a functional piece of history right at home.

We have a wooden sash window (approx 20 years old) that won’t close properly, I’ve also noticed that the plastic on the top right-hand side of that part of the window appears to be dislodged. The other window in that room has a similar issue. When we open that, the window won’t stay straight in the frame. Could you please provide a quote?
