With more than 70% of all new pianos being presented in a polyester high-gloss cabinet, it is reassuring to know that we can provide in-house, and sometimes on-site polyester repair work. Being based near the historical furniture town of High Wycombe, we understand the need for a high quality repair and polishing service. Our own team of polishers have over 30 years of experience.
Polyester also known as high polished bright piano finishes is a very specialist craft. We undertake this re polishing and repair work in most parts of Buckinghamshire , indeed we are often called out to many other areas including Berkshire, Oxord, Herts and Hampshire but this does incur higher costs due to travel time .
Make no mistake, repolishing pianos is very specialist, it needs not just a highly skilled piano polisher but also a team of technicians and piano tuners too to ensure that the piano not only looks amazing after restoration but that it plays and sounds amazing too!

Polyester and Pianos.
Polyester began as a group of polymers in W.H. Carothers' laboratory. Carothers was working for DuPont at the time when he discovered that alcohols and carboxyl acids could be successfully combined to form fibres.
Polyester as a polish is a three-component paint that utilizes the resin, catalyst and accelerant. Thanks to its tight molecular structure, polyester has a solid content which gives the product superior mechanical and chemical resistance to scratches
The application of Polyester finishes requires specialized equipment and machinery to produce a quality product. Polyester is specified when high scratch resistance and 100% sheen are needed.
Cleaning Polyester on Pianos
For everyday cleaning, wipe your piano with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth, followed by a clean dry cloth. If more stubborn soils do get on the finish, you may try dipping your cloth in a mild soap and water solution before wiping, and then follow that with a cloth dampened in clear water, and then the dry cloth.
