Repair & Modification
Downtime is the enemy of productivity. At Kavia Tooling, we specialise in rapid, precision repair and modification of injection mould tools — getting your production back online as quickly as possible, without compromise on quality.
Keep Your Production Moving — We Fix It Fast
Don't let a faulty tool slow you down. At Kavia Tooling, we specialise in repairing plastic injection moulding tools with speed, precision and expert care. Our team quickly identifies the issue, provides a clear repair plan, and delivers a high-quality fix to keep your production line running smoothly.
Our mission is simple: minimise your downtime, reduce costs, and extend the lifespan of your tooling. Time is critical in manufacturing — that's why we prioritise fast turnaround without sacrificing the quality of our workmanship. Every repair leaves our facility having passed the same rigorous checks as our brand-new tools.
£456.1 billion in product sales in 2023 — a 3.9% increase from the previous year. UK manufacturing is critical, and tooling downtime hits the bottom line hard.
Downtime from tool damage causes financial losses, operational disruptions and missed deadlines. Every hour a line is stopped, costs compound across the supply chain.
In July–September 2024, manufacturing accounted for 8.8% of total UK economic output (GVA). Keeping tools running keeps the UK economy moving.

Our Repair Process
Kavia Tooling's repair process is structured to minimise disruption to your production. Every job follows the same rigorous approach — regardless of whether it's an emergency repair or a planned modification.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
We discuss your situation, understand the damage and the urgency. For emergency repairs, we prioritise your job immediately. We assess what's required before any work begins.
Detailed Inspection & Quote
Thorough inspection of the tool — checking wear, damage, dimensional accuracy, surface condition and any secondary issues. A detailed, transparent quote is provided before work starts.
Expert Repair or Modification
Skilled toolmakers carry out the repair or modification in-house at our Burnley facility using only high-quality materials and precision machining. No subcontracting, complete quality control throughout.
Quality Control & Testing
The repaired tool is rigorously inspected and tested to ensure it meets our high standards and your production requirements. Where appropriate, we trial the tool in-house before returning it.
Return & Production Support
Your tool is returned promptly — ready to go straight back into production. We provide full documentation and are on hand to support the production restart if required.
