Repairs.
5 July, 2025 – 9:00 amI have had some interesting commissions to repair sculptures. Here are some of the results.
This Ball finial came to me in two pieces with the stainless steel bar still set in place. I cleaned it up, and joined it back together using special stone glue and lime mortar, finishing off with a lime based shleter coat.
This Chinese rider was brought to me with the tips of the Horses ears broken off. I repaired them with a specialist stone glue and mixed stone dust to match the colour.
It’s so satisfying to make something broken and sad, whole again.
I repaired some chips and a corner on a marble wash stand, it was originally joined together with iron rods, these have since rusted. Obviously as a wash stand, there is going to be water. My customer has asked me to disguise the rust staining, I’ll let you know how I get on.
I am still working on a repair to a damaged commemorative plaque to a war hero, I’ll let you know when that one is ready.
If you have something that you would like repaired, please feel free to get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.
