Repairs & Servicing

Naturally over time, your instrument is going to come under some wear and tear when you are practising and playing. Whether it’s fully broken, a little damaged, or could just do with a routine servicing and set up…I can assure you that after it’s had a visit to my workshop, it’ll be playing and sounding beautifully once again!

Below are the prices for the guitar repairs and maintenance services I offer. If you have questions, would like more advice, or are in need of a general chat to discuss your enquiry further…please don’t hesitate to contact me today and we can create a plan to move forward!

Although fixing guitars and basses is the most popular part of my repairs business, I also have thorough experience in servicing a wide variety of instruments. To mention a few other instruments, I have worked on banjos, violins, violas, ouds, mandolins, mandolas, ukuleles, bouzukis and more.

I also repair and service guitar and bass amplifiers.

Fret Level & Set-up

Electric Guitar and Bass - £110

Acoustic Guitar -£120

This service includes:

*Cost of strings not included*

Fret Dress with Compound Radius - £125

Adding a compound radius to the neck (flatter fingerboard at the upper region), allows you to achieve the lowest action your instrument is capable of. This is the kind of thing that is seen on many modern high-end guitars. The compound radius is one of the main reasons these high-end guitars feel so comfortable to play.

*Cost of strings not included*

Re-Fret Stainless Steel - £260

There are several reasons as to why your guitar may need a re-fret, some of which include natural wear and tear, to improve playability, increase sustain or take care of humps and bumps in the neck.
A warped neck can often be fixed during a re-fret, this is because the fingerboard is levelled out and a compound radius can be introduced (if required), eliminating the issue. Many players find that a new lease of life can be found in a tired old guitar after a re-fret…the guitar may still sound fantastic, but is tough to play due to low and tired old frets, a re-fret can make your guitar feel just like new!

We order fret wire for the job and do not always keep stock.

These are the most popular repairs and services.
