Glasses Repair Bristol

We certainly can. We serve Bristol and the surrounding towns, including Filton, Pill, Frampton Cotterell, Kingswood, Warmley, Mangotsfield and Winterbourne. Our clients tell us that local opticians often say a broken frame is beyond saving, but in our experience that is rarely the case. We run a well-stocked national repair centre that Bristol residents can reach by post.

We see hundreds of frames every week that were declared "unrepairable" on the high street. Our customers say the convenience of posting from Bristol and receiving their glasses back within days, sometimes within 24 hours, makes the process far easier than hunting for a specialist locally. We repair all brands and materials, so your favourite pair is almost certainly worth sending to us.

We aim to return repaired glasses on the same working day we receive them, and our Bristol customers regularly tell us their frames arrive back within 24 to 48 hours of posting. Our customer Sharon from Bristol had her 12-year-old glasses back within a day, and Michael from Bristol received his perfectly repaired hinges just two days after posting. See our Feedback pages for more examples.

We give you a unique tracking code so you can follow progress from start to finish. The only delay we sometimes face is if we need to order a specific part, but even then we are usually talking about a few extra days rather than weeks. We know how much you rely on your glasses, so speed never comes at the expense of quality.

In our experience, probably not. We often find that high-street opticians lack the specialist micro-soldering, laser-welding, or precision equipment needed to fix complex breaks, so they assume the frame is finished. Our workshop handles repairs that others refuse, from snapped titanium bridges to broken spring hinges and shattered plastic frames.

We have lost count of how many clients were told their glasses were impossible to fix, only to have them returned looking as good as new. We always recommend sending us a photo via our online enquiry form before you give up. Our free provisional quote within 24 hours will tell you honestly whether we can help, and in the overwhelming majority of cases, we can.

Yes, and it is one of our specialities. Titanium, aluminium and other high-grade metals require laser welding rather than standard soldering, and we have invested in the latest precision equipment to handle these materials properly. Our customers often tell us that their local optician refused to touch their titanium frames because the metal is too thin or too brittle for conventional repair.

We regularly repair snapped bridges, broken nose-pad arms and cracked hinges on titanium and semi-rimless frames, and the weld is usually almost imperceptible. We also refurbish Flexon and memory-metal frames. If your titanium spectacles or sunglasses are broken, do not assume they need replacing. Send us a photo, and we will give you an honest assessment and a clear quote.

It varies depending on the damage, but our customers consistently tell us we save them a significant amount compared with buying new frames or lenses. A new pair of designer glasses with complex prescription lenses can easily cost £300-£500 or more, whereas our repairs are typically a fraction of that. We provide a free provisional quote based on your description and photos, and we never start work until you have approved the final quote.

There is no obligation to proceed. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and we include a 12-month unconditional guarantee on every repair. For most Bristol customers, postage is the smallest part of the savings.

Absolutely. We have been repairing glasses sent by post for many years, and our customers tell us the process is straightforward and secure. We recommend using a tracked service, and once we receive your frames, we photograph them upon arrival to create a clear record. We then repair and post them back to your Bristol address, fully insured and tracked.

You receive a unique tracking code to monitor progress. We also send email updates when your glasses arrive and when they are dispatched. Our workshop handles thousands of frames by post every year, and damage in transit is extremely rare. If you are concerned, we suggest using Royal Mail Special Delivery or a comparable courier for extra peace of mind.

We repair almost every part of a frame and can work on almost any material, including metal, plastic, wood and even bone. Our services include replacing broken or bent arms, repairing spring-joint mechanisms, refurbishing snapped frames, micro-soldering and spot-welding metal, laser-welding aluminium and titanium, replacing damaged lenses, adjusting or replacing bridges, fitting new nose pads, replacing screws, and cleaning, polishing and reshaping bent frames.

We also carry out full refurbishments on vintage and designer sunglasses. Our workshop is genuinely well-stocked with parts and precision tools, which is why we can turn around complex jobs so quickly. If you are unsure whether your specific damage can be repaired, send us a photo, and we will let you know within 24 hours.

Yes, every repair comes with an unconditional 12-month guarantee. We are so confident in the quality of our craft that if anything goes wrong with the repair within a year, we will put it right at no extra cost. Our customers often tell us that their repaired frames feel sturdier than when they were new, and we take that as a point of pride.

We do not stint on standards, even when we are working to a 24-hour turnaround. We publish all feedback, good and bad, because we believe in being transparent. The guarantee covers the quality and the parts we fit, giving Bristol customers complete peace of mind that they are making a risk-free investment in saving their favourite glasses.
