Iron Keld
Outdoor Gear Repair Specialist
I’m making improvements…
Every craftsperson needs to down tools and work on their business occasionally.
I’ve been running Iron Keld Repairs for nearly three years, and the time has come to do some work on the business, not just work in the business.
Therefore, I’m currently closed to new orders for a little while, but I’m not going anywhere! I’m working hard behind the scenes to make improvements for a sustainable and successful future, including:
★ A series of new workshops, classes & lessons
★ Exciting collaborations
★ New repair services & products
★ Improving my workspace
★ Talks & events
★ Personal & business development training courses
★ A well-earned holiday
If you have any suggestions for things you’d like to learn or repair services you’d like, please get in touch and let me know!
★ If you have a pending repair, I will get in touch when it’s ready and we can arrange a collection.
★ If you have arranged to drop off an item for repair with me, please knock my door, WhatsApp or email me. You can also drop-off and collect repaired items from my drop-box behind the reception desk; just ask the friendly wall staff!
I’ll be re-opening on 26th May 2026. Until then, thank you for your support so far! Lauren

How we get your repair started
How it works
- Check the price list to get an idea of cost
- Send some photos and a brief description of the item to be repaired. You can message me on WhatsApp, Instagram, email or phone
- I will send you a quote and offer repair & colour options and turnaround time
- Drop the item off at my workshop in Kendal or post to me. Please make sure items are clean and dry and include a note with your contact details
- Once your repair is complete, you will receive an invoice and payment link. You can also pay with cash or card when you collect if you prefer.
Good to know
- If posting, you will receive a tracking number
- Return postage is £5 for Royal Mail Tracked 48 (small parcel). Check the shipping page for more options
- Waterproof garments must be washed but not re-proofed. The fabric must be clean for adhesives to bond, and re-proofers act as a non-stick agent which prevents adhesion
What customers say
Such a great service! Sent in a backpack with straps that were almost falling off and a waterproof jacket that was wearing along the sleeve seams. The repairs are flawless and bring back items to essentially new.
Alice
I have used Ironkeld’s services a number of times now. Lauren has done an incredible job each time. From repairing my favourite jeans, mountaineering and running equipment to making a custom waterproof laptop bag.
Sam
Iron Keld repaired a waterproof jacket for me which was in need of new Velcro strips on each sleeve. They did an absolutely fantastic, flawless job which has meant the jacket will last many more years. I will definitely be using again the future.
