Tom repaired an antique daybed for us and turned it into a sturdy and functional piece of furniture again. He also refinished a vintage oak chair - stripping the old stain and giving the wood a natural finish. It looks phenomenal. Tom was quick to respond to messages, was friendly to work with, and his prices were reasonable. He is a skilled craftsman whose knowledge and enthusiasm for his craft are greatly appreciated by lovers of antique wooden furniture like myself. Thanks Tom!

Tom has just finished a stunning restoration on our Victorian Oak, Joseph Fitter extendable dining table. The table top had warped and needed a highly skilled woodworker to repair the panels so they could fit together again. Tom has brought this family heirloom back to life! He also restored our mid-century dining chairs that had taken a real battering over the years. He replaced the old cane, repaired the broken joins, sanded and polished, then reupholstered the seats. I wanted the colour of the table and chairs to go together. The chairs are mahogany which is naturally red, but I didn't want the table to be too dark. Tom took a lot of care finding the right stain and polish for the table so that colour worked nicely with the chairs. He kept me involved throughout the process, checking each stage to make sure I was happy with the colour and finish. Wow! The results speak for themselves. I'm now going to commission Tom to restore my solid wood kitchen. Tom is a great guy and very skilled in his profession, and I would highly recommend him.

Tom did a superb job on our Kauri dining table. It was delivered back to us looking brand new! Fast and friendly, very responsive, would absolutely recommend his services.

I got a coffee table restored by Kimata Repairs. It looks beautiful! Really happy the amazing service and fantastic craftsmanship. Would highly recommend.

Tom had great communication through the whole consultation of a very niche onsite job. He was accomodating to our needs and the results are beyond excellent. 10/10 would recommend for service, workmanship and professionalism.

Tom is an absolute craftsman. He did a wonderful job in fixing up our retro Don three seater couch. Such excellent workmanship that we couldn’t even spot that the couch had needed repairs. We feel so grateful for having discovered Tom and will be taking in more of our antique and retro furniture to him for repair and refurbishment. Also a delightful person to deal with.

I could not write a more glowing review. Recently had a coffee table repaired with urgency, Tom was meticulous, professional, has impeccable timing, went above & beyond, lovely manner & I wish him every well deserved success. Highly recommended.

We have just had some transformative work completed on a much loved kauri coffee table, a massive dining room table and chairs, and the extensive rimu woodwork in our bathroom. We called on Tom to cure the people inflicted and atmospheric damage that had stricken them. From the results, I would say that more than repair and restore, Tom revitalizes and enhances: in Italian we would call Tom an artigiano, his work is pure artistry. He pays attention to every detail, understands and respects the character of the original, and is sensitive to the needs of his customers. We are indebted to our friend who recommended Tom to us and will certainly call on him in the future. We, in turn, recommend him to anyone who seeks an extraordinary professional of the utmost integrity.

Tom is a true artisan and gentleman. He did a superb job repairing our 50 year old coffee table, the table actually looks like a collectors item now after being close to being thrown away. If you have older furniture that you love and wish to repair/refurbish, Tom is your man!!! Can’t recommend him highly enough!! Thank you again Tom!!

Tom Kimata is a highly skilled craftsman who takes great pride in his work. He worked wonders on several pieces of furniture for us and was a pleasure to deal with; punctual, thorough, a true professional.I can highly recommend Tom.
