With just a little bit of prodding, she was convinced to give us ballpark figures on restorations and repairs. A restorer really needs to see and feel each piece to give an exact price for repairs, but here are some very general figures. Please NOTE these are just estimates to give you a rough idea of what something might cost to fix it!
- There is an $85. piece minimum.
- Chips are $50. each, unless they are large, in a textured area or in a highly detailed area, then they are more expensive.
- Cracks range from $35 to $100 per inch, depending on the number of colors, and the amount of detail and/or texture in the area of the crack.
- Fingers are $75. each.
- Molding a piece from another piece starts at $75.
- Custom painting or repainting a cookie jar usually costs $150.
- Items broken into multiple pieces are considered "disasters" and are extremely difficult and expensive to restore.
