What sort of items?

Does not have to be antiques – any beloved item you want fixing can be worked on. Does not necessarily have to be ceramic (for instance china, pottery, resins or plaster).
 

Are there different levels of repair?

Yes, for instance, some items, usually due to their history should not have extensive repair work.  They can have a ‘museum ‘ or ‘honest’ restoration.  The repair will be obvious but made to look clean and neat.  A full restoration is where the item is restored invisibly i.e. you will not be able to see the repair. The choice of the level of repair is yours, following mutual discussions and suggestions from me.

Can I use it as before?

Repaired ceramic items should continue to be handled with care and are for display purposes only. No eating off plates or drinking from mugs! Clean with care. Wiping with a soft dry cloth only.
