FAQs
How long does your repair service take?
Repair turn around varies depending on the work to be undertaken, whether parts need to be ordered and the existing workload. Generally speaking, I try to turn repairs around in 2 to 3 days but gluing and varnish work will require a minimum of 7 days.

Payment can be made by cash, card or bank transfer. Payment must be cleared on collection.
