Common Frame Repair Questions

Straight answers about what we repair and what it costs.

In most cases, yes. A broken bridge on a metal or titanium frame is typically repaired with precision laser welding (see OptiFix Laser Weld above); on acetate, horn, or composite frames it's repaired through OptiFix Fusion bonding. Submit a free assessment and we'll confirm exactly what your frame needs.

Yes — titanium, stainless steel, aluminium, and Monel alloy frames are repaired with OptiFix Laser Weld, our micro-precision laser welding service. It fuses the metal at the join point without filler material, which suits structural breaks that conventional repair methods can't handle cleanly.

Cost depends on the frame material and the type of damage. See our pricing page for current starting prices by service, or submit a free photo assessment for a specific, no-obligation quote on your frame.
