Ask about a repair

Pickup and delivery are included on every booking, anywhere in London. Repairs vary by instrument — we confirm all costs before we begin, so there are no hidden fees. Got a vintage or collector guitar? Ask about our White Glove in-home service.

02How repair quotes work

A clear decision before any repair begins.

Repairs vary by instrument. The important constant is that you understand and approve the work first.

01

Describe the problem

Tell us what the guitar is doing, what changed and where you are in London. Plain language is enough.

02

Assessment and quote

Otto assesses the instrument and explains the proposed work, cost and likely timing before the repair starts.

03

Approve the work

Nothing extra begins until you agree. If parts or more bench time are needed, the plan is updated first.

04

Repair and return

The agreed work is completed at the bench and the guitar is returned to you ready to play.

03Repair experience

Specialist depth without making everyday repairs intimidating.

Otto handles common fret, nut, saddle, hardware and electronics problems, with deeper experience in vintage restoration, period-correct finishing and hand-carved archtops when the instrument needs it.

Assess before acting

The fault, proposed work and price are explained before repair begins.

Vintage-aware judgement

Original character is respected rather than modernised away by default.

FAQ

Your Repair Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about mobile guitar repairs in London — what we fix, how quotes work, pickup and delivery, and turnaround.

01Guitar Repairs, Answered

What guitar repairs do you offer in London?

We handle common fret, nut, saddle, action, electronics, wiring, pickup and hardware problems, alongside specialist vintage restoration and archtop work. The instrument is assessed and the proposed repair is quoted before work begins.

How much does a guitar repair cost?

Repairs start from £25 and are quoted and approved before work begins. A complete setup is a fixed £65 and an electronics service is £40; the full plan is confirmed for your guitar before repair starts.

Do you collect and return the guitar?

Yes. Collection and return are available across London and are arranged as part of the repair plan before work begins.

How long does a repair take?

Most standard repairs and setups are turned around in 3–4 days from pickup to delivery. If a repair needs parts on order or extra bench time, we'll tell you the timeline when we quote.

Will I know the cost before you start?

Always. We assess your guitar, send you a clear quote, and only begin once you've approved it. No hidden fees, no work you didn't agree to.

Do you restore vintage guitars or do nitrocellulose refinishing?

Yes. Otto specialises in renovating high-value vintage guitars, including vintage-appropriate nitrocellulose paint finishing — era-faithful, painstaking work that few technicians offer. He also builds and repairs hand-carved archtop guitars, a rare and highly specialised craft. Get in touch to discuss your instrument and we'll advise on the right approach before any work begins.

Can I have my guitar looked at in person?

Yes, by appointment — we offer free in-person consultations with Otto at Sixty Sixty Sounds, 28 Denmark Street, London WC2H 8NJ, on the city's iconic guitar row. Otherwise we can assess and quote once we collect from your door.
