My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your interest.

Charles Gray - Dr. Chuck


Are you sick and tired of sending your tobacco pipes to the local pipe repair service for mediocre work at best? Don't you get angry when your faithful friend comes back mangled and it took six weeks? Thirty years ago I got fed up with local repair services and learned how to repair my own pipes. In the process I not only learned how to fix any normal damage, but more importantly, I learned how to do it without sanding or buffing off the characteristics that make our pipes so special to us. If you want more than a simple repair, pipe restoration is for you and you've come to the right place.

Dr. Chuck will return your pipes looking as close to new as possible. When pipes age they develop a patina, or color, that enhances the piece. To remove that is a crime and in that process precious stampings are obscured or lost. The art of pipe restoration enhances the attributes that make a pipe valuable.

All pipe brands, all finishes, standard or custom stems, repaired and returned in two weeks. Antique, custom, one of a kind, or standard briar pipes faithfully restored and rejuvenated.

Restorations take time. I work exclusively on one pipe at a time and finish the job before moving on. I do not take unsolicited work, and I discuss all proposed repairs with you prior to accepting the work. After acceptance I will supply instructions for payment and shipping. By scheduling all work I am able to avoid backlogs, rushed jobs, and shipping delays. I provide the kind of quality craftsmanship and personal service you deserve. Satisfaction guranteed.

Dr. Chuck will treat your ailing pipes with the skill of a surgeon and the care of a country practitioner. Check my prices against others in the business and you will see how reasonable restoration can be! For more details about how to get your pipes restored use the “Pipe Restoration Prices” link below.
