Hey guys, I'm looking for someone to repair one of my pots, it arrived in the mail some time ago in pieces but it's worth repairing. I know about Wrightway Studio, but just wondering if anyone knows someone else in the Auckland area who's good at it.

Wrightway are good apparently but don't come cheap I had a quote there once of $200 for a break repair ...

There was a guy who used to work from home doing it that my old boss used to use ...but I don't have a contact for him unfortunately.

I've been asking my sister to learn for years... it requires great patience - talent and skill ....of which I have none! branch

So I asked wrightway for a ball park figure on how much to repair this pot I have.......all I got was you will have to come in and let us look at it.........I don't want to go all the way to Mt Wellington just to find out its going to cost more than is acceptable...... I offered to send photos etc......but nope, no reply to that. Life is hard.

Yeah you should go...when I went about 5 years back..he showed me around the whole place - it was fascinating. They were fixing a Lladro horse and carriage insurance job...it was $110k and he said he could sell it to me for a mere $55k ... it had fallen off someones table or something ...it was massive.,...a carriage and about 8 horses ...wayyyy wayy out of my price range but interesting nonetheless alien

I can just see the repair costing more than the pot......
