At Kentucky Mudworks, we can repair most major brands of electric kilns. We are trained to repair SKUTT, OLYMPIC, L&L, and SHIMPO Kilns. Older brands such as Duncan and Cress can also be repaired here in our shop. Whether it's element replacement, re-wiring, voltage change, or a new relay or contactor that you need, we can help.
Caring for your kiln is a crucial part of extending its life and ensuring your pottery will be fired properly. Neglecting regular kiln maintenance can cause you to lose precious time and work. If you have recently procured an older kiln, consider having it serviced at Kentucky Mudworks before you use it. We will ensure that your equipment is in good shape as you start on your journey to creating beautiful ceramics.
Repair services are generally done on-site at our shop in Lexington. However, we will do off-site work for schools, universities, and commercial business sites during normal business hours.
If you wish to learn how to replace your own parts and need supplies, just call us. We'll perform the kiln repairs with you on site at a discounted hourly rate.

If you would like us to repair your kiln, please call to discuss the circumstances of your situation. We will need to know the voltage and phase of the kiln, the brand and serial number also.
Kentucky Mudworks does not perform kiln hook-ups, hard-wiring, or outlet services. Such work must be done by a licensed electrician. However, the majority of electricians are not trained in the intricacies of kiln repair itself. Please call us with inquiries.
