Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't have all the pieces of my broken ceramic item?
No problem, we can mold from a similar piece or hand sculpt missing pieces from a photo.
Can a previously glued ceramic piece be repaired?
Yes, in most cases ceramics such as pottery and porcelain can be cleaned, reglued and restored.
Can dark stains and hard water marks be removed from china and pottery?
Yes, most stains and hard water marks can be removed with professional cleaning.
What is the cost of restoration?
Varying factors determine the cost: the number of broken pieces, size, missing areas that need recreating, color and the texture of the piece. Therefore, we need to see each piece to assess the costs.
Can I use my piece after restoration?
Restored ceramic pieces should be for decorative use only. We do not recommend using restored dinnerware or vases. Vases
should not be filled with water. If you plan to use pieces for food service, please discuss with us first.
