Repairs:
If you are like most people, who enjoy and treasure their pewter a whole lot, you are distressed to see anything bad happen to it. Pewter is soft, and scratches/dents easily if it is dropped or bumped. You may not be aware, that most pewter items can be repaired or restored to nearly their new or original condition. Scratches, dents, tarnishing and many other "want-nots" can be removed or repaired at a minimal cost.
Broken handles, deep scrapes, large dents and other similar disfigurements in your favorite pewter pieces can be brought back completely, or very nearly restored, to where they were when new.
There are always exceptions: Sometimes a tear or large hole can be patched, or filled in, other times, and in these cases, will not look the same as when new. This may still be an improvement on a precious piece. Collectable statues are often made with lower grades of pewter and therefore cannot be soldered.
Paris Hill Pewter offers free estimates, on the cost of any needed repairs, restorations, or cleanings. Customers often ship their pewter pieces for a free estimate, agreeing only to pay the return shipping costs.
Consultations regarding your pewter, whether it is new or old, are greatly encouraged and are always free. Before shipping, send an e-mail asking for shipping instructions and to let us know it is coming.
