Why Professional Repairs Matter
Jewellery repair isn’t just about making something wearable again — it’s about protecting its value, strength, and sentiment. A rushed or inexperienced repair might hold for a few weeks, but a proper professional repair will last for years, keeping the piece as close to its original condition as possible.
Every material — from gold and silver to platinum — behaves differently when heated, soldered, or resized. Stones can loosen, claws can weaken, and polishing can change the surface finish. That’s why repairs should always be handled by an experienced jeweller who understands both the craftsmanship and chemistry behind every piece.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, every repair begins with a detailed inspection under magnification. We check settings, claws, and joints before doing any work, ensuring the piece is structurally sound. Then, using precision tools and traditional techniques, we restore it properly — not just visually, but mechanically.
A professional repair doesn’t just fix jewellery; it preserves memories. Whether it’s a wedding ring, a family heirloom, or a sentimental gift, you deserve to have it repaired with care and skill.

Common Types of Jewellery Repairs
No matter how careful you are, jewellery takes a beating over time. Rings wear thin, clasps break, stones loosen — it’s all part of everyday life. The good news? Most of it can be fixed. Here are some of the most common jewellery repairs we handle every week in our Maidstone workshop:
Ring Resizing
Fingers change over time — temperature, age, and lifestyle all play a part. Whether your ring is too tight or too loose, we can resize it precisely so it fits comfortably again, without leaving any visible joins.
Stone Replacement
Lost a diamond or gemstone? We can match and replace missing stones perfectly — from tiny accent diamonds to large solitaires — ensuring your piece looks exactly as it did before.
Chain & Clasp Repairs
Necklaces and bracelets often snap at their weakest point. We use professional soldering and replacement fittings to make sure they’re secure, flexible, and finished to match the original metal.
Cleaning & Polishing
Over time, even the most loved jewellery loses its sparkle. Our professional cleaning and polishing service removes built-up dirt and restores a mirror finish — safely and beautifully.
At The Jewellery Mechanic, no job is too small. Whether it’s a quick chain fix or a full restoration, we treat every piece with the same level of detail and respect.
“From resizing to full restorations — we bring your jewellery back to life.”
How to Choose a Trusted Repair Specialist in Maidstone
When it comes to repairing jewellery, choosing the right specialist is everything. You’re not just handing over metal and gemstones — you’re trusting someone with something personal, often irreplaceable.
The first thing to look for is experience. A trusted jeweller should have years of hands-on workshop knowledge, not just a counter service that sends your jewellery away. At The Jewellery Mechanic, all our repairs are carried out in-house by skilled craftsmen, so your jewellery never leaves our care.
Next, check for credentials and transparency. Reputable jewellers will always be happy to show you their hallmark registration, insurance cover, and previous work. They’ll also give you a clear quote before starting any repair, with honest advice about what can — and can’t — be done.
Finally, look for local reputation. Read reviews, ask questions, and trust the jewellers who are established in your community. The best repairers build relationships that last as long as the jewellery they fix.
At The Jewellery Mechanic in Maidstone, our reputation is built on one thing — trust. We’ve spent decades repairing, restoring, and caring for thousands of precious pieces for local families and collectors alike.
