Service
Rework and finishing
Recovering a batch instead of scrapping it
What the service covers
A batch with a fault is not always a loss. Very often removing the defect, improving the finish or replacing a part is enough to put the goods back into circulation — for less than making them again.
We take in defective batches and returns, assess what can be recovered, and put the assessment to you before any work starts. Rework begins only once you have decided.
Simple finishing work — trimming, cleaning, surface preparation — is carried out to your instruction. Reworked batches are marked so they can be told apart from original production.

Common questions
The questions we get asked most
-
01
Do you assess the batch before taking the job?
Yes. Assessment is the first stage — we give you an estimate of how much can be recovered, and the decision to rework is yours.
-
02
Can a reworked batch be identified afterwards?
Yes. It is marked in a way agreed with you, so it can be told apart from original production.
-
03
What happens to items that cannot be recovered?
They are set aside, the reason is documented, and they go back to you with the rest of the batch for a decision.
