I have an ancient pair of Wharfdale E90's to which I'm extremely attached.
During a house move about five years ago, the teak veneer was damaged on
both cabinets...one fairly badly.

Anyone recommend a company who can undertake this type of work and perhaps
an idea as to what sort of cost I'll be looking at?

TIA

Dunno about a company but if you feel that DIY might be possible there's a
similiar question and some great, illustrative, answers posted he

Worth registering (painless and almost instant) just to be able to view the
pics in the two separate (well-illustrated) threads given in the third post.

Even if you think DIY will be out of the question it will give you an idea of
what's involved; that might aid you in finding a local furniture restorer.

Look carefully at the surface. Whilst a wood veneer is used as the
base material (on top of chipboard) to give it texture, the wood-look
finish may actually be printed. On something as mass-produced as a
Wharfedale less than about 30 years old I would be very surprised if
the finish is the actual real thing.

uk.d-i-y would be a good newsgroup to ask on, but ask for DIY
instructions as well as where to get it done to make the replies more
interesting. ;-)
