What we can help with
Pants, jeans and jackets
We assess fly zips and jacket fastenings, including heavier garments. A replacement needs to suit the length, weight and construction of the item.
Dresses, skirts and bridal wear
Invisible zips and delicate fabrics need careful alignment. We check lining, seams and decorative details before quoting.
Cushions and outdoor items
Ask about cushion covers and sleeping bags. The condition of the fabric around the zip affects whether replacement is worthwhile.
Finding a suitable zip
The aim is a replacement that suits the original item. Specific colours or components may need ordering, which can affect timing.
How much does it cost?
Zip type, length, lining, fabric and access to the fastening affect the quote.
We assess the item and explain the price before you leave it with us. If you are comparing options, bring the garment in for a quote based on the actual work required.
Your questions
Does a broken zip always need replacing?
Not always. We inspect the problem before recommending the appropriate work.
Can you add a zip where there is none?
We can assess the garment and discuss whether a new fastening suits its construction and design.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the item, work involved and current workload. Tell us your deadline when you enquire; the shop will confirm availability and any express surcharge before you proceed.
