Every Crack Tells A story- we restore with care

Kintsugi Repair London Service

At ZIYO in Southwest London, we specialise in authentic Kintsugi repair London — the Japanese art of mending broken ceramics.

Every repair is carried out with 100% natural urushi lacquer and finished with real gold or real silver (never synthetic resins or modern glues). This ensures that each piece is not only beautiful but also durable, reusable, and completely food-safe.

Our approach honours the vessel’s history and imperfections, allowing it to be restored for daily use while carrying a new story of resilience and care.

Collectors, tea practitioners and families who wish to have durable repair often come to us for Kintsugi repair London because we only use natural urushi lacquer safe for everyday use.
