Snow Globe Repairs

GlasweJen

Does anyone know where I can get a snow globe repaired in the UK?

The snow globe in question belongs to my sister and has a lot of sentimental value, it's a medium sized disney collectible snowglobe. It was damaged by my niece who is paying to get it repaired as it broke due to her bad behaviour. The glass is broken but the base and figurines are in perfect condition still (God knows how).

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I can only find a studion in America who will fix it. The globe was purchased at Disneyland in Florida so I can't take it back to the store to be repaired.

have you tried asking your local Disney store?

Disney said that they can't repair it because of the broken glass (health and safety, they agree that it can be fixed). Apparently some jewellers do repair globes, does anyone know where I should start looking?

How about buying a really cheap one the same size and having a go yourself first?

if not it may be worth giving these guys a ring. They repaired a barometer for me - not quite the same thing but they were extremely helpful.
