Common Questions

How do I know mine is pigmented?

A drop of water sits on the surface rather than darkening it.

Can the colour be changed completely?

Darker, routinely. Much lighter, rarely, and we will test before promising it.

Is the visit free?

Yes, with a written price before anything is booked.

Do you work on site?

Almost always. The piece stays where it is and the kit comes to you.

What do you need from me?

Two photographs. One wide enough to show the piece, one close on the damage.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Miami-Dade. Start at the county page.
