Task guide
When this may be needed
- The door edge has swollen in humid weather and binds in the frame.
- The bottom of a bathroom door is peeling or delaminating.
- A corner or edge has chipped after being knocked.
- The door has a small split or a dent.
- Laminate or veneer has lifted from the face of the door.
What the team does
The technician checks the door for swelling, splits and loose surfaces. A swollen edge is planed only where it binds, and the cut edge is sealed so it doesn't absorb more moisture. Splits and chips are glued and filled. Lifted laminate or veneer is re-glued and clamped where the backing is sound. The door is then rehung and tested.
Included in this price
- Inspection of the door surface and edges
- Planing and sealing swollen edges
- Gluing and filling splits, chips and small dents
- Re-gluing lifted laminate or veneer on sound backing
Limits & price factors
Repainting or re-lacquering the whole door, replacing missing laminate, and repairing large holes in hollow-core doors are quoted separately or covered by Full door replacement.
The starting price covers a small repair on one door. Several damaged areas, doors that need taking off and planing on several edges, and water-damaged doors take longer. If the timber is soft and rotten, repair may not last, and replacement is discussed first.
FAQs
Timber absorbs moisture from Singapore's humid air, and unsealed edges absorb it fastest. Sealing edges after planing reduces swelling.
If the core is still firm, lifted laminate can be re-glued. If the bottom has absorbed water and turned soft, a replacement is usually the better choice.
Fillers and glue lines show until the area is painted or touched up. Painting is not included, but the repair is left smooth and ready to finish.
Usually one to two hours.
