Why Restoration

Cast iron cookware is made to last for generations. But despite best intentions, sometimes life happens. We’ve heard the stories about your best friend putting your prized skillet through the dishwasher, or leaving your favorite piece by the campfire in the rain. Or maybe you have a special piece of cast iron passed down from your great grandma that has seen better days. We are here to help restore your beloved cookware to its former glory. We love cast iron and we love restoring cast iron.


When you send your cookware back to us, it will be under the expert care of our cast iron restoration team. We will lovingly care for your cast iron or carbon steel cookware, taking it through our specialized restoration process. Whether it’s a Smithey, an old Griswold or Wagner, we would be honored to bring your pan back to life and send it back to you for another lifetime of memories.

After checkout, we will email you a pre-paid return slip within 1 business day of your order being placed. 

Use your own box to securely package your cookware to send back to us.  

Once your Smithey is received, give us 3 weeks to complete the restoration process and your cookware will be back on its way to you! 

Restoration service only available to US customer addresses outside of California, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

My 100 yr old skillet restored took my breath

Can not tell you how good it looked when it came "home". Unbelievable and beyond expectation !

I was unable to see anything on the bottom of it but restoration revealed its maker.

I'm a single man and rarely cook but I loved my late grandmother dearly. This skillet was given to her as a wedding gift around 1918 and means much to me.

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU !!!

Smithey did an AMAZING job restoring my great, great, great grandmothers cast iron pan! There was so much built up grime that you couldn't even tell there is a raised stamp on the handle. They sent it back good as new!

New Life for My 65 Year Old Skillet

My husband and I bought our square skillet 65 years ago just before our wedding. Over the years it had accumulated burned on food and grease. I found Smithey on the web and learned about restoration of older classic pieces. Immediately I was all in. Sent my beloved skillet away and it came back better than new! It's so beautiful, I am almost reluctant to use it! Almost....

Awesome job, Smithey! Thank you!

Dutch oven restoration.

Smithy restored a 1940s Griswold number eight iron Mountain series Dutch oven two new condition. My Dutch oven was heavily used and unfortunately quite rusted on the outside from being left on the porch. They restored it to new condition. When I received it back from them in one of their Dutch oven boxes, I thought they had mistakenly sent me a brand new Dutch oven. That’s how good it looks. Use it to cook sourdough bread several times a week. Fantastic service.
