They repaired a stone sculpture that had been broken. Excellent job, very happy with the job.

Pick Up the Pieces in Santa Ana did an amazing job reconstructing this artist's wall plate that fell off the wall and broke into several pieces. Their work was not only excellent, but quick compared to other restoration businesses I have dealt with in the past. Not to mention at a much more reasonable price. They did not have a lot to work with to start. I collected all of the severely shattered pieces and small chips along with a 1/4 of the original plate which was still intact. Fortunately, I had some old photos of the plate from before it broke which helped them understand how it looked before. I live in LA and it was worth the drive to Santa Ana. I could not be more pleased with the end result. Highly recommend this business. read more

If you have heirloom art pieces or artwork restored these people do excellent work. This kind of service is never inexpensive but it is well worth the money to see broken or damaged pieces brought back to life read more

Overpriced. Charging more than triple the the market rate. No thanks. Almost $400 to repair a tiny crack, less than a quarter inch? I don't think so. read more

They did a great job, fixing a vase that had been shattered by our cleaners into probably 30 different pieces. And this is what it looks like now. read more

Pick Up the Pieces - The top of this piece I brought home from Korea was shattered when it hit the tile floor. They did a wonderful job putting it back together. - Art Restoration Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I had them restore something that belonged to my dad and they did a great job. That said, it wasn't cheap and they are not the place to take Something to simply be repaired. You pay for the high quality of their work. read more

Several years ago I brought a Dresden lace porcelain figurine for repairs as some of the lace had broken. At the time I was told they could do it. However, when I got it back I found that they just added lace to replace the missing sleeve. Other repairs later turned from a pale yellow (correct color) to pink. So, the repairs are obvious. Since they say they can repair Dresdens, maybe they now have someone who can do so. If you need a Dresden repaired, ask for photos of previous repairs done to see if they have gained the skill. read more

A sentimental bowl chip was perfectly repaired at a reasonable price worthy of the skill involved. Was not judged by the lack of $$ value of the piece as PUTP understood the personal meaning to family is enough. Do not hesitate to use PUTP if your cherished pieces need repair. Not the least expensive but quality, reasonably quick repair you can count on. read more

Excellent excellent work. They repaired a piece of art that I have had for several years. Very glad I used them. Thank you!

I sent my husband in with a broken alabaster lamp from Italy. My husband is bilingual but shy of his English skills. This shop owner called me and told me that he would only speak to me because he cannot understand my husband's accent. I cannot fathom how in Southern California an Asian shop owner would discriminate against a Latino customer. I am shaking and absolutely floored that my husband was treated this way today. I've honestly never experience level of discrimination before and I'm in tears that this man treated both my husband and myself this way. I read elsewhere that the shop recently sold. This new owner will not do well. read more

everything. they do excellent work repairing things that are near and dear to me. i went there multiple times to have things repaired. they were always consistently well worth the cost read more

Years ago we had an antique business. Pick up the Pieces repaired several of our unique china items that allowed us to sell them with disclosure. I again have a China bowl and other pieces I will taking soon. Thank you! read more

=My exwife was cleaning the glass shelves in our curio cabinet that held her Lladro collection. As she was wiping down the shelf, the mounts gave way and the heavy glass shelf collapsed on the Lladro filled shelf below it which then collapsed on the Lladro filled shelf below that. Wow, 12 damaged Lladros in all. Insurance covered the loss and replaced them all......and never asked for the broken ones back. Fast forward a couple years and we've since divorced but I still had these damaged Lladros. I took them all into Pick up the pieces. 10 of them were restored beautifully.....enough so that you couldn't tell they'd ever been damaged. But 2 of them ended up turning color where they had been worked on after a couple months. I took them back in and they just said there's nothing they would do except to redo it at full cost. Hmmmmm. I spent a LOT of money so I wasn't very happy and declined. I will say the pieces that didn't have an issue were repaired beautifully. read more

COMPLETE AND UTTER RIPOFF! They wanted $390 to help fix a small ceramic jewelry case that broke. Don't give these people your business!

I brought a lamp in (ceramic cat lamp) to be repaired. I am 57 years old and can remember it being in our home when I was four. My mom was a cat person and she loved this lamp. One ear was severely damaged and another was slightly chopped. I brought it in Feb 5th and they told me it would be done in April. When I received the message that it was done the day I could pick it up was March 20th. That is the day my mom died! Just such a weird coincidence. Pick up the Pieces did a wonderful job. You truly cannot tell where it was damaged. Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you so much!!! read more

We have had two ceramic pieces repaired (when our housekeeper bumped and broke them) and we were always very happy with the quality of their repair. When our wooden 'antique' fold-out table fell over and really messed up the edge and top hand painted (goldish/copperish) scalloped edge was broken and scraped...my wife suggested I call Pic-up-the-Pieces to see if they fix wood. I was surprised to find they did. Today we picked up the wooden piece and it was perfect. We cannot see where the work was done, the color was matched perfect and we (my wife) is very picky. Thank you so much we are very happy. D & B Taylor read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Picked up 2 pieces I had repaired yesterday, and I was amazed! My Dad had given these to me about 45 years ago and when they broke I was devastated. I was ready to throw them in the trash when I remembered Pick Up the Pieces...UNBELIEVABLE work! And it seems they can fix anything! If you have anything you thought you could not repair, take it there, worth EVERY penny! read more

Pick up the Pieces did a great job repairing my Kosta Boda champagne flute! The base had broken on one of my set of 6, and the company is no longer making this pattern. I was so pleased that Pick up the Pieces was able to fix it so that it is almost impossible to tell the stem was ever broken! Ann M. read more

Found an old lamp in a relative's garage when closing up the house. Turned out to be an antique vase from the 1890's which had been made into a lamp, but the top part was broken and the broken pieces were long gone. Pick Up the Pieces restored the broken part beautifully, and I now have a gorgeous antique lamp which I will enjoy for years. They do beautiful work and their pricing is reasonable. read more

I just picked up two repaired Lladro figurines from PUTP, and they did a terrific job. The breaks on my pieces were not significant, but I wanted them as close to new condition as possible. PUTP did a great job ... the breaks/repairs are not visible at all. It does take a few weeks for the repairs to be completed, but well worth the wait. read more

I had an antique porcelain doll with a hole in her forehead and a broken tiny hand carved antique piece repaired by the unbelievable artists at Pick Up the Pieces. The repairs are so seamless that no one would know they were ever broken. These family heirlooms mean the world to me. I'm so very grateful to these artists! If you love something that's been damaged, I highly recommend this place! read more

Pick up the Pieces repaired several pieces of my beloved Denby Pottery a few years ago. They are not cheap - but to me the repairs were worth every penny. They also do fine china. I think they are a find and I completely recommend them. read more

To better understand my review, let me explain the circumstances. I drove 200 miles to get a beloved Lladro repaired. They estimated that it would cost $125 if I brought in a piece that I had forgotten. Otherwise, it would be $250 . . too much unfortunately. I went back home and drove back a few weeks later. At that time they changed their opinion and said that even with the second piece it was going to cost $250. I explained the situation and referenced the earlier estimate. They said I was mistaken. I suppose it is possible; but I don't think so. This was significant for me and I was very careful. So, this was very disappointing to me. Please call me if you would like confirmation or additional information. Thanks -- Bill Hardy -- (818)262-5193. read more

Lucky to have found them not sure how but the end result was worth the wait! My Lladro porcelain looks like new and it had not been displayed due to its missing fingers. They both replaced and repaired the broken fingers and now it looks just like when I bought as a gift for my mom. My mom is now gone but I treasure the porcelain I gifted her and that she also loved so much. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Pick up the pieces does amazing work. They were able to put together a old sculpture composed of smokey Quartz. The piece was dropped by someone and ended up in about 20 pieces. There did not seem to be anyway it could be restored. Someone in Newport gave us this referral and one of their artisans put it back together. We are delighted by the job that was done. This restoration company is the BEST!!!!! read more

This company always comes through - with remarkable workmanship, artistry, and integrity. In the last 20 years they have repaired at least 6 of my prized but broken pieces. Sometimes the repair is straightforward; sometimes it isn't. And once, when a crystal-leafed willow tree needed refurbishing, they told me how to do it - saving me an incredible amount of money. In addition to all this, they are always polite. My sense is that they have an outstanding work ethic that starts at the top of the company. I never hesitate to call them when I need to. read more

Pick Up the Pieces charged me $120.00 to fix the crack around the neck of a porcelain figurine. When I picked it up, only the front of the crack had been repaired. The crack was still visible on the sides of the neck and on part of the back of the neck. The receptionist told me the visible cracks had been sealed with a clear coat so that the crack would not get any worse. I told her that for $120.00 they should have painted over the crack on the sides and back of the figurine's neck with more than a clear coat and that it was not at all what I had expected of their work. She said she was sorry that I was unhappy with the figurine, but there was nothing I could do about it. They already had my money. I had to remove the clear coat they had put over the visible crack and paint it myself and then put another clear coat on it. That's what I should have done in the first place! I should have just fixed it myself. read more
