How Much Does It Cost to Get an Antique or Collectible Restored?
The cost to restore or repair an antique or collectible is based on a number of factors, including: the amount of damage to the ceramic antique or collectible, the size of the piece, how many colors are involved, and whether or not all of the broken pieces are present. Our prices are always based on the amount of time and resources needed to restore the damaged areas and not on the actual value of the antique or collectible being restored. Our goal is to offer collectors the best restoration and repair services and the best prices in the US. Prices start at $25 and most items can be fully restored for under $100. We offer discounts on the submission of multiple items and on groups of similar antiques or collectibles. Please email us for a free estimate- there is no obligation!
How Long Does It Take To Get an Antique or Collectible Restored?
