Frequently Asked Questions

What type of jigsaw puzzle pieces can you replace?

Our service is unique because the Jigsaw Doctor can reproduce the cardboard pieces that you find in jigsaw puzzles that can have many thousands of pieces. However, we can also use the same process and materials to replace wooden jigsaw pieces.
If you have a wooden jigsaw puzzle and wish to have the missing piece specifically replaced with a wooden replica, please go to Bob Armstrong's website (wooden jigsaw puzzles ), or Lisa Lee's web page (specifically TUCO jigsaw puzzles ) to find out how to replace your piece.

What do I need to do to purchase a replacement jigsaw puzzle piece from the Jigsaw Doctor?

All we will ask you to do is mail the pieces that surround the missing jigsaw puzzle piece, and upload a copy of the picture if you are able to scan it. This is all we need to make your replacement piece. We do not need you to send the entire puzzle and box. Click here for full instructions and to purchase.

Do you need the original picture to reproduce the missing piece?

Although it really does help if you've got it, it is not vital that you supply a copy of the picture of your jigsaw puzzle. The Jigsaw Doctor can build up the missing part of the picture using clues from the surrounding pieces. However, if each piece contains a lot of detail, or the missing piece contains an important part of the image, then it is best to send the picture if you have it.

Can you replace more than one piece at a time?

Yes, if you have more than one piece missing in your jigsaw puzzle, or if you have several jigsaws that you want to have repaired at the same time, you can order multiple replacement pieces. Simply change the quantity on the order page when you add the service to your Shopping Basket, or send the correct amount via cheque, postal order or money order if you are paying by one of these methods.

What happens if there are two adjacent missing pieces?

If there are two adjacent missing pieces that require replacement, they will be replaced with one larger piece and only charged for as one replacement piece.

Up ArrowBack to Menu

Can you reproduce edge pieces or pieces that are strangely shaped?

Yes, the Jigsaw Doctor can replace edge pieces as easily as interior pieces. Generally the shape will not be a problem, although replacement pieces with particularly small 'arms' will be more fragile and easier to break than larger more standard shaped pieces. Such pieces generally have additional reinforcement added, but should still be treated with care. Also see the next question below.

What are the pieces made of, and how strong are they?

The Jigsaw Doctor has developed a special method and technique that uses a special epoxy putty to re-create missing pieces. The material used to make the replacement sets like hard plastic and is very strong, but will break if mis-handled. Treat is like your other pieces and it should be ok, but don't bend it or tread on it! Wooden jigsaw pieces will be replaced with the same material.

How accurate a reproduction will the replacement piece be?

.Your hand-made replacement jigsaw puzzle piece will be a good approximation of the original missing piece. This will include the chamfer effect around the edge on cardboard pieces that is caused by the way that the pieces are pressed.
The material used to reproduce your missing piece will be a different colour to the original cardboard.
Colour matching will be as close as possible to the original, but is not guaranteed to be 100% perfect. (It will be difficult to spot the replacement without reasonably close examination).
Please also see our Terms & Conditions.
