Raising a care request

For when something changes between visits.

3 min read

A care request is how you tell us something has changed on a registered piece without waiting for your next scheduled visit.

  1. 1Open Care Requests in your portal and select the piece.
  2. 2Describe what has changed, and upload photographs of how it looks now.
  3. 3We compare it against your baseline and reply with our assessment and our reasoning.
  4. 4If it falls outside your plan we say so plainly. If it is cosmetic work a higher plan includes, we will tell you which plan covers it. If a piece needs structural repair, full refinishing or restoration, that is work for a furniture repair or restoration shop, and we will tell you so.

What tends to be covered

  • Scratches, scuffs, water rings, heat marks, stains and ink
  • Pet damage, dents, chips and worn edges (Care + Repair and Complete Care)
  • Leather and wood drying, fading or surface wear
  • Dull or worn patches of finish

What goes to a repair or restoration shop instead

  • Broken frames, legs or joints, and loose drawers, doors or hardware
  • Refinishing a whole piece or panel
  • Reupholstery, cushion cores, spring rebuilds
  • Reclining or powered mechanisms
  • Damage from a flood, a fire or pests

Cleaning, conditioning, polishing and surface touch-ups are in every plan. Cosmetic repairs need Care + Repair or Complete Care. Structural work is outside every plan.
