Honesty, integrity, and Quality Workmanship

It is a sad fact of life that over a given period of time one or more of your favourite pieces of china, whether a family heirloom or a treasured possession, will become broken or damaged as a result of an accident in the home.  It is highly likely that we will be able to restore your damaged item to former glory or at the very least affect  a  sympathetic  repair to make  it  presentable  once more.

We are professional ceramic restorers. Working from a custom designed workshop/studio on our property in a semi  rural  position, backing  onto  fields  and  the River  Stour   on  the  northern  outskirts  of Bournemouth, Dorset.


Established for over ten years now, we offer a comprehensive restoration service to private individuals, serious collectors, removal companies and dealers from a wide cachment area.


Pottery, china & porcelain are our main areas of expertise, but we have also successfully handled onyx, jade, glass and marble over the years, from antiques to contemporary collectables, they all fall within our remit.

All items brought into us for repair are thoroughly inspected and assessed with careful consideration given to the most suitable type of repair in close consultation with the client. If your damaged piece is to be repaired under the terms of your household insurance policy, we will be pleased to quote accordingly & maintain a close liaison with you throughout the whole process.


Particular factories which feature frequently in our workshop are: Moorcroft, Doulton Lambeth, Royal Doulton, Beswick, Meissen, Capo di Monte, Oriental Porcelain, Lladro/Nao, Royal Worcester, Crown Derby, Sitzendorg, Limoges, Sevres, Berlin & Troika,  as well as Beswick animals & fish, Border Fine Arts, Swavorski Crystal, Stuart Crystal and even Nat West Pigs!

Customers of John Lewis, Beales, Debenhams, House of Fraser and many other large Departmental Stores are regularly routed to us by their customer relations departments with broken porcelain, and in this respect we are also proud to be recognised as "Preferred Lladro Restorers" as recommended by the world famous Porcelain manufacturers.


The workshop is open during normal office hours 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri. However we would always appreciate a quick 'phone call to let us know you are coming, as this courtesy enables us to plan our daily work schedule accordingly. For those with difficult work and family commitments or travel restrictions please let us know as I am sure we can arrange an appointment.
