Repair for speaker cabinet

I am not someone who does such work, but I think it would help to know more about the specifics of the finish of your speaker (e.g., is it painted or stained wood or some kind of resin, is it a gloss finish or semi-gloss or matte), the extent of the damage (pictures might help), and the level of repair you are hoping to achieve (perfect repair or repair that hides obvious damage for someone not doing close inspection).  A perfect repair might not be possible, and if it is, it could be quite expensive.  A furniture shop that does repair can probably do a decent job.  You might contact KEF because they might help you will the right color of the finish material.

Yeah good insight! I have the R3 which have a black lacquer finish. I talked to KEF and they suggested a carpenter but I am in the midst of contacting a cabinet maker company as they seem to be the best option so far.

KEF was helpful in that they gave me the color code for the correct paint to use to finish the project.

thanks for your help! 🙏🏽 I am not sure how to post pics here as it is not very user friendly.  Otherwise I would have posted it along with request for help.

The nature of the repair and who would be best to do the repair depend on the nature of the damage, the material the speaker is made of and the type of finish.  Without a picture it is tough to say but you may want to look for a guitar repair shop if it is just finish damage.  I would expect guitar repair shops to be more common than piano repair.  Fixing a finish defect is probably more like repair of a guitar finish than fixing a cabinet or furniture, unless the speaker is MDF and there is damage to the underlying substrate.  A picture would be really helpful if you can figure it out.

To get some ideas you can go watch a few videos at Stewart McDonald such as

I purchased this center channel speaker stand on craigslist once for $20 got it home and realized it was too short. Found a metal working guy who happened to have a shed behind his house. I was thinking what $50 maybe $80. When he had finished, which wasn’t that bad of a job he said $220 please. I choked inside. I kept a straight face and paid him. And truth be told if I needed to have work done again I would’ve called him. The moral of this story is Having people work on your stuff can get really expensive. Choose wisely grasshopper. Once again, so sorry to hear about your so unfortunate experience. What a bummer.  For the curious of us, what happened?
