For a guide to finishing prices take the price for stripping and multiply it by two. So if the stripping price is £12 thus the finishing price will be £24. The price for stripping and finishing would be £36.

Below is an overview of the most common finishes:

Finishing for wood

• Waxing. Most commonly applied to furniture that has a low to medium usage i.e. for dressers.
• Varnishing. Most commonly applied to furniture that has a medium to high usage i.e. chairs, dining tables.
• Repainting. After stripping, painting on a fresh surface will give a much better finish and look to the furniture. When painting over existing paint the surface can become uneven and corners / edges clogged with paint.
