I have 9 external stained doors that now need restaining and have been quoted silly money. Is there anyone genuine out there that wants work at a reasonable rate, It would be great to find someone and I am sure if they were good there would be lots of work at our villiage..
Get another quote or two, if you buy the tins and get a labour only price it won't be expensive.
Make sure you get rubbed down properly, splitlid can help you with that.
