Chipped Veneer Door Corner Restored In Situ

The top corner of this oak veneered door, set within a white painted frame, had broken clean away. The veneer was gone and the chipboard core stood exposed and crumbling, a fan of splintered fibres where a neat square corner should have been. This chipped veneer door repair restored the corner to a sharp edge with the oak grain flowing through.

Corner damage like this often happens when a door is dropped, knocked off its hinges, or catches the frame as it swings. Exposed chipboard at a corner is fragile and quickly picks up further chipping with every use. Our technician cut back the loose core, rebuilt the corner with proprietary materials, then grained and toned it to match the oak veneer around it. The repair was completed in place, avoiding the cost and disruption of a replacement leaf.

Plenty of guides suggest filling a chipped corner and staining over it, but forming a true ninety degree corner and then matching oak grain across the rebuild is where home attempts come unstuck. Magicman carries out veneer corner repairs as routine professional work. The after image shows a crisp, square oak corner with the splintered core nowhere to be seen.
