Minor Furniture Repair
small mechanical fixing repairs and adjustments to suitable household furniture
Common situations
Tell Fix Nik about glue, extra screws or brackets already added. Earlier work can conceal damage or affect access to the original fitting. Knowing what has changed helps decide whether another minor adjustment is practical or would merely repeat a failed approach.
Keep loose hardware and send any part numbers before purchasing substitutes. Thread size, length and the connection design matter. The service can review compatible small-part work but does not promise bespoke manufacture or parts for discontinued furniture systems.
A small screw or bolt can work loose without the surrounding furniture being damaged. Show the complete connection and any missing hardware. Tightening is appropriate only when the fastener and the material accepting it remain sound and compatible.
Service overview
Antiques, upholstery and conservation work need different skills and methods. Powered reclining or lifting mechanisms are also outside this scope. Identify these features at the enquiry stage so a general handyman adjustment is not mistaken for specialist restoration.
Solid timber, veneers, composite panels and metal frames have different fastening arrangements. A product label and close photo can help identify them. A repair should suit the actual construction; a generic fixing should not be assumed to work in every material.
Existing drawers and cupboard hinges have their own repair scopes, while new boxed items belong under assembly. Describe each requested task separately. Grouping an enquiry can help planning without turning this minor adjustment service into an unlimited furniture restoration offer.
The agreed service covers assessed minor mechanical fixings and non-specialist household furniture adjustments. Exclusions: Upholstery, antiques/conservation, powered mechanisms, load-bearing reconstruction, cabinet hinges, drawers, assembly of new items.
How it works
Show the complete item, its material and the loose fixing or joint, with any product label or previous repair visible.
Loose hardware must be distinguished from a failed load-bearing component. Stability concerns need assessment before continued use.
Review minor compatible fastening and adjustment work without reconstructing load-bearing furniture or undertaking specialist restoration.
Confirm the Mornington address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Follow any rest or curing guidance and reassess recurring movement. Do not test an uncertain repair by loading the furniture beyond its intended use.

Movement at a joint may indicate more than a loose screw. Split material, pulled inserts or failed load-bearing connections can require specialist work or replacement. Stop using an unstable item and explain what moves rather than trying repeated temporary fixes.

Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover.
