Timber stairs add warmth, charm and timeless beauty to any home. However, years of use, exposure to sunlight, and general wear can cause them to lose their original lustre. Scratches, dents, fading and squeaks are all common signs that your stairs may need professional attention.
At The Timber Doctor, we specialise in timber stair repair and restoration, bringing life back to worn and damaged stairs with expert craftsmanship and high-quality finishes. Whether your stairs are dull, damaged or unsafe, our technicians can restore their strength, safety and stunning appearance.
Common Issues with Timber Stairs
Over time, timber stairs can suffer from:
- Scratches and scuffs caused by daily foot traffic or pets
- Dents and gouges from impacts or moving furniture
- Fading and discolouration due to sunlight or moisture
- Loose treads and risers that can pose safety risks
- Squeaks and creaks from movement or worn joints

While these problems are common, they don’t have to mean replacement. Professional timber stair restoration can repair damage, refinish surfaces, and extend the life of your timber stairs for many more years.
