Restored metal garden furniture on a Bali villa terrace after recoating

Good metal furniture is worth saving. A wrought-iron garden set that costs IDR 15 million new can almost always be restored for a fifth of that, and the old Javanese and Dutch-colonial pieces you find in Bali antique shops are usually better steel than anything sold today. Furniture is also where rust shows first — thin tube legs, woven metal seats and table-edge welds trap water and salt. We restore furniture either on site at your villa or in our workshop, where stripping and spraying give a near-factory finish.

What Furniture Restoration Includes

Complete Strip-Down

Old paint and rust removed by wire wheel and detail sanding — by hand on ornamental scrollwork where power tools would erase the detail.

Repairs & Re-Welding

Cracked welds, wobbly legs, snapped scroll joints and missing feet repaired before coating. Small fabrication of missing parts included where practical.

Workshop Spray Finish

Collected pieces get a sprayed three-layer system in our workshop — the closest thing to a factory finish a restored piece can get.

On-Site Option

Heavy pergolas, built-in benches and daybeds restored in place with brush-and-roller systems and careful masking of decking and stone.

Villa Furniture Has a Hard Life Here

Outdoor furniture at a rental villa in Seminyak or Canggu gets moved daily, splashed by the pool, rained on, and wiped with whatever cleaner the staff have to hand. Standard factory powder coat survives roughly two to three Bali wet seasons of that before chips at the feet and arm joints let rust take hold. Restored correctly — chips feathered, steel converted, three-layer recoat — a set goes back into service for another 3–5 years, and the cycle of cheap replacement furniture stops.

We restore single statement pieces and full villa sets alike: a recent job in Ubud covered 14 café chairs, 4 tables and a 6-metre pergola in one collection run. If your furniture lives within salt-spray distance of the beach, we finish it with the marine-grade system instead of the standard stack. Rental villa owners often combine furniture work with an annual maintenance plan so touch-ups happen before guests ever see rust.

How It Works

  1. Photo inventory

    Photograph each piece (or the set together) and send on WhatsApp. We quote per piece with pickup included where applicable.

  2. Collection or site visit

    Workshop pieces are collected on schedule; on-site work is booked like any other job. Typical workshop turnaround is 4–7 days.

  3. Restoration

    Strip, repair, prime, build coat and finish — sprayed in the workshop or brushed on site. Colour matched to the original or changed to order.

  4. Return and placement

    We deliver, reassemble and place everything back, and the coating carries the same 12-month guarantee as our structural work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does metal furniture restoration cost in Bali?
Chairs from IDR 400,000, tables IDR 600,000–900,000, full garden sets IDR 1,800,000–3,000,000 depending on condition and detail. See the pricing page for the full list.
Is restoration cheaper than buying new?
For quality wrought iron and old colonial pieces, almost always — typically 20–35% of replacement cost. For thin imported tube furniture that is rusted through, we will honestly say replacement is smarter.
Do you collect and return furniture?
Yes — pickup and return across south Bali, free on jobs over IDR 1,500,000. Workshop turnaround is normally 4–7 days; we can stagger collection so your terrace is never empty.
Can you change the colour of my furniture?
Of course — restoration is the perfect moment for it. Matt black, antique bronze and cream are popular; any RAL colour is available, and we can show samples before spraying.
