Good to Know
> 🎨 **Frost damage:** Water gets in cracks, freezes, expands, makes cracks worse. Fix cracks before winter to prevent expensive ornaments splitting completely. **Different materials need different fixes:** Stone and concrete use masonry adhesive or epoxy. Metal pieces might need welding. Resin ornaments use plastic adhesive. Using the wrong stuff means the repair fails. **Multiple ornaments?** If you've got several garden features that need attention, I'll do them all in one visit. More cost-effective than separate trips for each one.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden ornament fixing in Newton Abbot
What ornaments can you fix or secure?
Statues, bird baths, sundials, planters, decorative stones - basically anything in your garden that's wobbly, cracked, or needs securing. Each job's different, but usually fixable.
How do you secure them?
Depends what it is. Sometimes it's resin or mortar to fix cracks, sometimes ground spikes or concrete footings to stop things toppling, sometimes just re-levelling a base that's settled. I'll use whatever method suits your ornament.
Can you repair cracked statues?
Yes, usually. Small cracks I can fill and seal. Proper breaks need bonding back together with epoxy or specialist adhesive. Won't be invisible close-up, but it'll be solid and look decent from a few feet away.
How long does it take?
Most ornament fixes take 20-30 minutes - re-level a bird bath, spike a statue into the ground, fill a crack. Bigger repairs or multiple ornaments take longer.
