Even the most beautifully crafted frames can show signs of wear over time. Whether it’s an antique heirloom or a modern gallery piece, frames are designed to protect, but they’re not indestructible. At Framagraphic, we specialize in restoring and repairing damaged frames, bringing them back to their original beauty while preserving the integrity of your artwork.
Our experienced framers can repair chips, cracks, broken corners, or detached mouldings, and even replace damaged or shattered glass. We handle each repair with the same care and precision as a brand-new frame, ensuring your piece looks as stunning as the day it was created.
From simple touch-ups to complete restorations, we handle all types of frame damage with craftsmanship you can trust.
Common Frame Damages We Repair
Frame Repairs & Glass Replacement
Frames require delicate handling when being moved or rehung. glass can easily break, and corners are often vulnerable. To avoid further damage, we always recommend storing frames face-to-face or back-to-back, never front-to-back, as screws and hangers can scratch the face. Here are common frame damages that we repair:
- Broken or cracked glass
- Loose, split, or missing frame corners
- Scratched, dented, or chipped mouldings
- Damaged backings, hinges, or hanging wires
- Warped or deteriorating antique frames
But even with careful handling, accidents happen, and that’s where our expert repair team comes in. We’ve restored everything from valuable art frames to sentimental family pieces, and we treat each one with the same level of respect and detail.
