Piano Finish Repair in Louisville, KY

Scratches, chips, and worn finishes (especially after a move) can make a piano look permanently damaged. Most issues, including high-gloss polyester finishes, can be professionally repaired without full refinishing.

Damage Happens—Especially During Moves

  • Scratches and gouges from movers

  • Chips on legs, pedals, and edges

  • Scuffs from tight doorways or stairs

  • Faded or uneven finish

  • Dull or cloudy high-gloss polyester surfaces

Most people assume the damage is permanent—or that full refinishing is the only option
