Prices
Please email us details of the type of ceramic repair or restoration you require. To provide a quote we will need the following information:
1. Clear photos of the damaged areas
2. The size of the item (before it was damaged)
3. Note that we can not accept items without first quoting for the repair work, at which point we will send all necessary contact details such as address and phone numbers. This is because we do not know the appropriate restorer for your item until the item has been assessed via photographs of the damage
Important Christmas Info
Due to high levels of work at the moment please note that any items delivery after 30 November are unlikely to be ready before Christmas.
Budget Repairs
We can perform repairs for lower value and sentimental items from £75. This generally involves putting the item back together, filling any missing spaces and overpainting the damage. This does not involve spray painting and will not generally be an invisible repair. Please attach some clear photos of the damaged areas and email to us using the link below. Repaired items should only be used for ornamental purposes. Repairs can not withstand domestic use.

Important Notes on Restoring Domestic Items
We can restore everyday domestic items (such as mugs and plates) to display quality only. Please note that these items cannot be used for food or drink after restoration.
Why can't restored items be used?
- Material Constraints: Professional conservation materials are designed to break down under duress (such as hot water, hand washing, and dishwashers). Using a restored item would eventually cause the repair to fail.
- Health & Safety: Due to the risk of failure—especially with hot liquids—restored items pose a safety hazard if used.
Consider Replacement vs. Repair
Because professional restoration requires a significant investment, it is often more cost-effective to replace standard everyday items. Many mugs, for example, can be replaced for around £10—far less than the cost of a repair. However, if the item holds deep sentimental value, we are happy to restore it for display purposes.
Our Restoration Options
- Budget Restoration: Restored to display quality using hand-painting and cold glazing. Please note that the finish will not be completely seamless.
- Premium Restoration: Performed by our master restorer for an invisible or near-invisible finish.
Important Reminder: Regardless of which service you choose, all restored items remain strictly for display only and are no longer functional.
