Laser Welding
We utilise this premium equipment for repairing most metals including gold, stainless-steel and titanium.
Micro-welding tacks the broken metal together and an additive layer of new metal is melted over the joint to form a very small but robust repair.

Spring Hinges
Did you know, in most instances we can remove spring hinges and replace the mechanism?
Our skilled team can fully restore a broken spring side without damaging the appearance of the spectacles
In the more difficult cases, we remove the spring hinge barrel completely, and weld a new barrel to the side. This technique when applied with our premium laser welding equipment, can be used to replace spring barrels on plastic and metal sides

Restoration
Our hygiene routines can affect the original finish of spectacle frames.
Detergents and alcohol remove the oils from the surface layers from premium materials such as acetate.
To fully restore a high gloss finish we remove the surface layer and moisturise the material, before the final finishing polish or matte treatment.
It's time to care for your premium eyewear by using our special frame oil.
