Jewellery repair in Pakistan: what it costs and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

In Pakistan, jewellery repair in Islamabad usually costs between Rs 300 and Rs 5,000, according to online price listings for 2026, and the final price depends on the work and the gold rate. For a quote on your piece in your city, post a request on BlaBlaPrice: workshops reply in the chat with their own price and time.

Workshops quote per job rather than by the hour, so the same range can cover a small ring resizing and a larger repair. Give them these details and the quote will be closer to the final figure:

• the item (ring, chain, bangle or earring) and how many pieces you bring
• the work needed, such as resizing, re-tipping a stone or polishing
• the metal and its weight in grams
• the weave or design, and whether the piece has stones
• the deadline and the city where you will hand it over
• your budget in rupees

Rules and what to check before handing over the piece

Ask whether the workshop is licensed. In Sindh, where Karachi is, the trade licence rate list gives a fee of Rs 5,000 a year for a jewellery (gold) business in Zone A and Rs 2,000 a year in Zone B, so it is fair to ask whether the shop holds one. Ask for a written quote before work starts; one Islamabad workshop says it provides a transparent quote before any work begins, and you should expect the same.

Season and turnaround time

The desert climate brings very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. The cooler months are the easier time to walk in and out of workshops and to bring a piece in person, and you can see the work being done while you wait. Repair time varies from shop to shop: one seller quotes 10 to 15 working days, so ask for a date before you hand the piece over.

How pieces travel between cities

If you live in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad but want to use a workshop in another city, many sellers offer courier delivery across Pakistan with cash on delivery. Ask how the piece will be packed and returned, and write its weight in grams in your request, so the workshop quotes for the right metal from the start.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers. Describe the piece in your own words in the chat, add a photo if you have one, and the AI asks for missing details such as the metal and the deadline. It then looks through workshop websites and price lists in Pakistan and shows the prices and businesses it found, while sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their own offer. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to exchange them with. See also Household services, or create a request on the home page.
