Hi


We recently had a spillage (Reed diffuser liquid) onto our chest of draws and the lacquer is damaged. The chest of drawers is "oriental" style with a distressed effect. A glass tealight holder is actually stuck onto the surface.


Does anybody have any suggestions as to how it can be repaired (and remove the candle holder)? whether it can be repaired or who could repair it?


Many thanks

If it is a valuable piece, then you need proffessional help, and it could work out exspensive.

The glass being fused with the surface could be dangerous to remove yourself and cause further damage.

If its a genuine chinese laquer finish you need someone who specializes in that genre.

Good luck.

Thank you.


It's not an antique; I bought it on sale from Lombok so paying alot for it to be repaired might cost more than replacing it. I agree that I won't be able to remove it myself and I suspect the whole surface will need stripping and re-lacquering.

      Love this video of Simon Munk talking about the floating bus stop issues...just watch the behaviour of the cyclists who appear in shot....not one of them following the rules....the fact that LCC pushed this out shows just how blinkered they are...it's like that famous clip of some local government official being interviewed on the road side to talk about how much safer that particular stretch of road is now because of their interventions and a crash happens right behind him!

      I think WRT Labour, they don't want to open up what would become another devisive Brexit debate this side of an election. Personally I'm ok with this as I want to see the Tories absolutely shellacked at the GE as a consequence for what they've brought on the country. I doubt that Labour will address Brexit much in a first term either, instead concentrating on the big domestic issues e.g. NHS, transport, education. I realise that these these are all interconnected with Brexit, but the lead-up to Brexit itself took up so much bandwidth that nothing else got done, so I can see Labour swerving the Brexit issue fir as long as they can.  Eventually though, you can only ignore the economic gravitational pull of the single largest trading bloc right on your doorstep for so long, and at some point Labour will have to address it, so for me it's more a question of when not if...

      By cmacki · Posted

      Leon from electrical initiative changed our old skool kitchen lights with modern dimmable down lighters. I'm really pleased with the work, fitted to a very high standard. Leon has it all, excellent electrician, polite, easy to get on with, turned up on time, excellent communication and charged at fair value. I highly recommend his services.
