Bareclay offers a service in the restoration and repair of broken ceramics.  Ceramic repairs start at $50 and go up depending on the extent of the damage.  Missing pieces and chips can be rebuilt and replaced.  Bareclay uses only room-temperature materials in its repairs and functionality of a piece can be limited after a restoration.  Often, the repairs are undetectable to the eye.  Items for repair are shipped to Bareclay directly.  For a free estimate and shipping information, email Lisa at Lbareclay@yahoo.com or fill out the Contact Lisa form.

 

Here are some letters from past Bareclay customers.

The initial smile alone, when it was received by the owner, was well worth

the work that went into it.  The extended (and repeated) "Earth shattering"

story made it pretty funny (at least now).

The restoration looks wonderful, I cannot say enough about the work you have

done.  Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference.  I feel fortunate to

have found someone with the talent and caring it takes to put back together

pieces of the past.  You've allowed me to refresh lost memories and carry

them proudly into the future.  (How's that for a quote).

I look forward to presenting you with more "challenges".

Dear Lisa:

 
WOW!  How did you do that!.... My husband and I are so very impressed!  We could find no evidence of Mr. Mouse's trauma.  The paint was perfectly matched,and we could find no trace of a seam.  You are obviously a master artisan of your craft.  Thank you so much for returning a cherished heirloom to me and to my family.   I will certainly keep your name and address close for any mishaps that befall me or my collections.  I would enthusiastically be a reference for you should you ever need one! Your craftsmanship and professionalism were superior.  Since I collect ceramics and porcelains,  I shall most certainly be asking for your help in the future and I will recommend you to all my collector friends.  Thank you again!!!!!!!

Guess what just arrived?!!! I am so thrilled with the final work. Unfortunately my husband is not here this morning so he has yet to see the pieces. I did call him and he should be home in a few hours. Thank you again for your ability to turn around the work so quickly and for doing such a fantastic job. If you ever need an reference, please feel free to use me!!
Merry Christmas

Dear Lisa,
    A couple of months ago we ordered a one-of-a-kind,
handmade porcelain statue from a noted Italian artist.
 When we received it from Italy we were disappointed
to find that a hand holding a bell was broken off,
potentially ruining the value of the piece.  After
unsuccessfully searching locally for repair  help we
found your service on the Internet.  We had our doubts
about an unfamiliar firm but decided to entrust the
repair to you.  After delivering the piece to you and
waiting a few weeks we saw the results of your work.
We were amazed to find that the piece looked as good
as new.  The paint surrounding the two break lines was
matched so perfectly that it was impossible to tell
that it had ever been broken.  We were delighted to
receive the repaired piece and to pay the modest
repair bill.  We have recommended you to the Italian
agent who shipped us the sculpture for any other
repairs for his American customers.  Well done!

Thank you,
Ron & Bonnie MacEwan

 
 
 
Lisa, We received Charlie on Wednesday.   He is completely intact thanks to you, and Teresa is very happy.  I'll send you a picture of him (body and all) seated in our newly renovated kitchen.  Thanks again for your artistic and brilliant reconstruction job.
Cheers, Jim  (2/5/04)

It is perfect!
Thank you so much,
