The repair shop: Seaton’s French Polishing and Furniture Repair
Giving timeless pieces of furniture a second life.
Whether it’s a vintage dining suite or a cherished heirloom, Seaton’s French Polishing and Furniture Repair brings tired furniture back to life. For over 30 years, owner Mike Fullen has restored everything from antique sideboards to family treasures, preserving both craftsmanship and sentimental value.
In an age of throwaway furniture, restoring quality pieces can save thousands while keeping history alive. “A lot of what I restore has been passed down through generations,” Mike explains. “It’s not just furniture, it’s memory, history, legacy. It’s more than repair, it’s about honouring the past.”
From full refinishing to subtle repairs or modern updates, every project is handled with care.
Visit Seaton’s at 430 St Asaph Street, Christchurch, or call Mike on 027 558 1477 to discuss your restoration needs.
