Restoration & Correction Work

Sometimes things don’t go to plan.

Over the years, I’ve been contacted by people heartbroken that their keepsakes — often filled with the most precious memories — didn’t turn out the way they hoped.

I decided to offer restoration and correction work after being approached by someone who had commissioned three large hearts — one for each of her children. Each contained pregnancy tests, photos, 3D scans, umbilical cords, and dummy chains. Sadly, the pieces arrived cracked, cloudy, and with the materials mixed up between them.

Correcting work like this is not easy, and there are no guarantees.

Once something is cast in resin, it’s there forever — it cannot be removed or “fixed” in the way other materials can. The only option is often to cut the embedded items out of the original piece, carefully sand away as much resin as possible, and then re-cast them into fresh resin.

The process takes time and care, and every situation is unique. In most cases, something can be done — but the final result will never be a perfect piece. My promise is always to be honest and realistic about what I feel can be achieved. My goal is to give your keepsake a new life and help you feel proud to display it again, even if it carries small reminders of its journey.

If you have a piece that hasn’t turned out how you hoped, and you’ve exhausted attempts to have the original maker put things right, I’ll do everything I can to help.

💜 Please complete the restoration request form below, attach clear photos of your item, and I’ll review it personally and be in touch with what can realistically be done.

That message stayed with me. These items represent irreplaceable memories, and when they go wrong, it’s incredibly emotional. While recreating or repairing another maker’s work is never straightforward — and there are no guarantees — I want to offer those who’ve been left disappointed a chance at something better.

Every restoration enquiry begins with careful assessment. I’ll review your photos and details before advising if the piece can be safely repaired, refreshed, or remade. In some cases, I may suggest starting anew using any recoverable inclusions; in others,
