How to Repair Fitz and Floyd Products
Although we do not offer repair services, here are a few suggestions for making repairs to your treasured Fitz and Floyd pieces. Please note that caution should be observed and you should use your own judgment as Fitz and Floyd is not responsible for additional damage.
- To repair clean breaks (such as attachments that have come loose) we recommend a product called E6000. Just a small amount should be sufficient. We have also had success using regular Super Glue. Use a small amount and follow the instructions on the adhesive for removing excess.
- Note - Our product should be stored in a climate-controlled area whenever possible, as extreme temperatures may affect the adhesives used for attachments.
- For chips and paint issues, we recommend using acrylic or model paints and finding a match as close as possible to our original color. Unfortunately, we do not offer a touch up paints. Other collectors have told us they use markers and even crayons to blend and touch up paint chips.
- We recommend contacting a local ceramics shop for more extensive repairs. You should be able to find listings in the phone book or by searching online (www.google.com, for example) using terms such as Ceramics + city and state or ceramic studios + city and state. You may also want to check with a local craft/hobby store, as they may be able to be of assistance.
- For those pieces that are more valued, there are companies that specialize in collectible ceramic repair – you should be able to find listings online for these, as well, by using terms such as collectible ceramic repair services, etc.
- Additional information regarding ceramic repairs may be found by searching online (www.google.com, www.ask.com, etc.) using terms such as Ceramic Repairs.
