Jewellery repair in Canada: prices and how to order

Updated 4 November 2026

Jewellery repair in Canada usually costs about CA$30 to CA$150 for common jobs such as ring resizing, chain soldering and prong repair, and stone-set or heavy pieces cost more. For a price that fits your piece, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice, and the AI will look through local jewellers' prices and show what it finds.

What the price depends on

The price follows the item, the work needed, the metal, the chain weave and the number of stones. A plain gold band takes less time than a ring with several stones, and a tight deadline can change the price too. These price lists are per repair, not per hour, so ask for a quote for your exact job.

Taxes and turnaround in Toronto

Check the tax before you agree. One Toronto workshop quotes its minimum charge of CA$95 plus HST, so the final bill is higher than the figure shown. Resizing usually takes 3 to 7 days and chain repairs 2 to 5 days, so allow that time if you need the piece back by a set date.

Training and who does the work

Canadian job descriptions for jewellers usually expect college training or an apprenticeship in watch or jewellery repair, or in gemology. Ask a jeweller how long they have worked on gold and stones, and whether repairs are done in their own workshop.

Season and timing

Winter here runs from December to February and summer from June to August, so a repair started in November is finished before the coldest months. Resizing takes 3 to 7 days, so start early if you need a ring for a date in the winter months.

What to write in your request

Name the item (ring, chain, bracelet or earring), the work needed and the metal. Add the chain weave, the stones, your deadline, your city and your budget. A photo of the damage lets sellers quote without seeing the piece first.

On BlaBlaPrice, you describe the repair in your own words in a chat, and a photo can be added. Sellers who are registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own price, terms and turnaround. Your contacts stay hidden, so you decide with whom to exchange them. You can also send your request link to a jeweller you already know. For nearby work see key cutting, create a request or how BlaBlaPrice works.
