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.

History restored, the future bright

Two cast iron pans, a large skillet and one simply marked ‘chicken fryer,’ both orange with layers of shaggy rust, were abandoned and left behind in the back of the old kitchen cabinet when friends moved into their new home in the mountains. We didn’t know how to remove so much rust and the pans sat for years on a shelf in the garage. I found Smithey’s restoration service and sent them off, hoping for the best and prepared to be told they were beyond salvage. Smithey’s experts fixed them up good as new! Gorgeous black cast iron pans, each at least 60 years old, and ready for another set of generations to cook in them. Thank you!

Restored grandmother's skillet

Smithey did a fabulous job restoring my grandmother's iron skillet. It was badly rusted in spots and had significant buildup of grease and oil. The restoration service was reasonable and prompt. It was easy to communicate with them by text - a nice touch. I highly recommend this service. Can't wait to make her Swedish meatballs in it now.

Family heirloom restored!

Shortly after my grandparents were married, my grandfather gave my grandmother a cast iron pot. After my grandmother's passing, my mom found it in a shed - completely rusted. Smithey brought it back to life so that future generations can have this piece of history.

Who knew our cast iron looked like that

I had watched all the You Tube videos on how I could return our family cast iron close to its original condition but the tubs of acid and hooking it up to a battery seemed irresponsible when living in a condo building. I stumbled across Smithey and saw they have a restoration service so I sent it to them and when it came back, we couldn't believe our eyes! It looks amazing!!
