Prices

The prices shown below represent starting prices for the services described. Please note that all repairs are unique and prices may vary upon inspection. For a more accurate quote and for non-listed repairs, enquiries, customisations and bespoke makes, please get in touch with some photos. Different repair options will be offered where possible. 

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. 

For large tents, awnings, gazebos, sails, boat covers and other large/heavy items: please get in touch.

Clothing – Zips

NOTES:
Replacing zips is difficult and time consuming. It takes a long time to remove seam tape and carefully unpick the old zip. High quality and waterproof zips are expensive to buy. Only high quality YYK zips are used. Black is used as standard, colour choice upon request. There are different zip options. Click here for details

Tents

NOTES: Large tents, awnings, gazebos, sails, boat covers and other large items: please get in touch first. I am limited by the size of my workshop. It’s upstairs so I need to be able to move items around with no assistance. Large tents are more difficult to inspect, manouvre and work on. Repair prices will therefore reflect this.
