Jigsaw Piece bulletJigsaw puzzle with missing piece STEP 1 - Complete the jigsaw puzzle and identify the missing piece(s).

First put the jigsaw puzzle together to check for the missing piece(s).


Jigsaw Piece bullet STEP 2 - Put the surrounding pieces in a good quality envelope, along with your details

If you are going to be able to send a scanned image of the picture from the box of your jigsaw puzzle, you only need send the surrounding (usually 8) pieces (see Figure 1).
Instructions for scanning your picture follow in step 3.

If you are unable to supply a copy picture from the box, then we recommend you send the surrounding 24 pieces (2 layers of surrounding pieces) from your jigsaw puzzle (see Figure 2)

The Jigsaw Doctor needs more puzzle pieces to construct the missing image if you are unable to supply a copy of the original.

Repeat the above for each missing jigsaw puzzle piece to be replaced.

Note: 2 adjacent missing pieces will be replaced by one larger replacement piece.

Put the pieces in a good quality padded envelope or packet. Please also provide the following information on a piece of paper with your jigsaw puzzle pieces:-

  • Your name
  • Gift Certificate Reference Number
  • Your full mailing address*
  • Your telephone number (in case we need to contact you)*
  • Your e-mail address*
  • The title or name of the jigsaw puzzle, if you can find it. (Please look around on the jigsaw puzzle box).
  • Mail the jigsaw puzzle pieces, and required information to**:

Jigsaw Piece bullet STEP 3 - Scan and e-mail a copy of the picture from the box

(You can skip this step if you don't have the picture or a flatbed scanner, or are happy to let the Jigsaw Doctor try and re-create the missing part of the image using clues from the surrounding pieces).

If you have the box or packet with the picture of what your finished jigsaw puzzle looks like, it will help the Jigsaw Doctor if you can send a scanned image of the relevant part of the picture. If you have a flatbed scanner you can e-mail a copy of the picture to the Jigsaw Doctor. We will scan the pieces, but the part of the picture that contains the missing piece will help us reconstruct it.

Don't worry if you can't get the whole box or picture on the scanner. You only need to send the part of the picture that contains the missing piece(s).

  • Scan the picture at 300 DPI (dots per inch) using FULL COLOUR. Usually the scanner's default settings should produce good results. If the picture comes out too light or too dark, or the colours look "washed out" or wrong, try changing the settings until you get better results.
  • Save the scanned picture as a JPEG file using your own name in the filename (e.g. johnsmith1.jpg).
  • Attach the scanned image to an e-mail. Please include the following information in the body of your e-mail message:
    • Your name
    • Your full mailing address
    • Your telephone number (in case we need to contact you)
    • Your e-mail address
  • E-mail the scanned image

Please allow up to 14 days to produce your replacement jigsaw piece(s) from receipt of the pieces. Please also allow for international postal delays.

Important note about shipping
For UK deliveries we use Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. For international deliveries we use International Signed for. Both of these services have some compensation for loss. We recommend that you use a similar service to send your jigsaw puzzles pieces to the Jigsaw Doctor. The Jigsaw Doctor is not responsible for any losses in the mail and we recommend you review and consider the possibility and cost of such a loss, particularly if your jigsaw puzzle is irreplaceable. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information.

  YOUR REPLACEMENT PIECE

Example of replacement jigsaw puzzle pieceYour hand-made replacement jigsaw puzzle piece will be a good approximation of the original missing piece. The replacement pieces are not made from cardboard. Instead, they are produced using a special epoxy putty that sets like hard plastic.

Please note the following:

  • The material used to reproduce your missing piece is 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).
  • The material used to make the replacement is very strong, but will break if mis-handled. Treat it like your other pieces and it should be ok, but don't bend it or tread on it!
