When it comes to repairing jewellery, trust is everything. Whether it’s a cherished engagement ring, a broken chain, or a sentimental family heirloom, you need to know it’s in safe hands. At The Jewellery Mechanic in Gravesend, we’ve helped thousands of customers bring their pieces back to life — and along the way, we’ve heard just about every question there is.
From “Can you fix this?” to “How long will it take?” people naturally want reassurance before handing over something so personal. And that’s exactly how it should be. Jewellery isn’t just metal and stones — it’s memory, meaning, and emotion all wrapped into one.
So in this guide, we’re answering the questions we hear most often in our Gravesend workshop — from pricing and safety to what we can (and can’t) repair. If you’ve ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes when your jewellery is being restored, this will give you the full picture.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, our mission is simple: honest advice, expert repairs, and craftsmanship you can trust.

Can You Repair Any Type of Jewellery?
The short answer? Almost always — yes.
At The Jewellery Mechanic in Gravesend, we handle repairs on everything from fine gold and platinum engagement rings to silver chains, diamond earrings, and vintage family pieces. Every metal, every style, every age — we’ve seen it, fixed it, and sent it home looking brand new.
Our workshop is fully equipped for all kinds of work, including ring resizing, claw re-tipping, chain and clasp repairs, gemstone replacement, polishing, soldering, and re-plating. Whether it’s a modern designer piece or a 100-year-old heirloom, we treat each job with the same precision and respect.
Some customers come in thinking a broken ring or snapped chain can’t be saved — but most of the time, it can. In fact, with the right craftsmanship, even the most delicate or damaged pieces can be restored to last another lifetime.
If we ever come across something that’s too fragile or risky to repair, we’ll always explain why and offer alternatives — like remodelling or recreating the piece from scratch.

How Much Do Jewellery Repairs Cost?
One of the first questions we hear in our Gravesend workshop is, “How much will it cost to fix this?” It’s a fair question — and one we’re always happy to answer honestly.
Jewellery repair pricing depends on three main factors: the type of metal, the complexity of the work, and any parts or stones that need replacing. A simple ring sizing or chain solder might cost as little as £30–£50, while more intricate repairs — like re-tipping claws or resetting gemstones — can range from £80–£200, depending on the design.
For more advanced work, such as rebuilding a damaged setting or replacing missing diamonds, we’ll always give you a clear quote before starting. No hidden fees, no surprises — just honest, upfront pricing.
Every job starts with a free inspection, where we assess what needs doing and explain your options. In many cases, small fixes can be done same-day or within 48 hours. For bigger projects, we’ll keep you updated at every step so you know exactly what’s happening.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, we believe expert craftsmanship shouldn’t come with inflated prices — just fair, transparent value for real skill.

How Long Will My Repair Take?
It’s one of the most common questions we get asked — and for good reason. When a treasured piece is broken, you want it back as soon as possible.
At The Jewellery Mechanic Gravesend, most standard repairs such as ring resizing, chain soldering, and clasp replacements are completed within 24–48 hours. If you need something urgently — like a last-minute ring fix before an event — we also offer an express same-day service where possible.
More complex jobs, like stone resets, claw rebuilding, or vintage restorations, can take a little longer, usually between 3–7 days, depending on parts and workshop demand. Every piece is worked on by skilled jewellers using precision tools — and we never rush quality.
From the moment you drop it off, we’ll give you a clear timeframe and keep you updated throughout the process. You’ll always know exactly when your piece will be ready to collect.
Because at The Jewellery Mechanic, it’s not just about repairing jewellery — it’s about restoring memories, properly and professionally.
“Most repairs ready within 48 hours — precision work, no shortcuts.”
Is It Safe to Leave My Jewellery?
Absolutely — and we completely understand why customers ask. Leaving a treasured piece behind can feel daunting, especially when it has sentimental or financial value. That’s why at The Jewellery Mechanic Gravesend, we’ve built our entire process around security, transparency, and trust.
Every item that comes into our workshop is logged, photographed, and tagged the moment it arrives. You’ll receive a detailed receipt describing your piece and the work required, so there’s no confusion or risk of mix-ups.
All jewellery is stored in secure, insured safes when it’s not being worked on, and only handled by our in-house jewellers — never sent away or passed through third parties. From intake to completion, your jewellery stays right here with us.
We also encourage our customers to ask questions or request updates at any point. Whether it’s a family heirloom or a simple chain repair, you’ll always know exactly where your piece is and how it’s progressing.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, peace of mind isn’t optional — it’s part of the service.
