Our Repair & Alteration Process
How We Bring Your Clothes Back to Life
A Friendly Consultation
When you bring your item in, we’ll have a friendly chat about what you need. Whether it’s a repair or an alteration, we’ll assess the garment, discuss the best solution, and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
Skilled Workmanship
Once you’re happy, our expert gets to work. We treat every garment with respect, using skilled techniques for both sturdy repairs and delicate alterations to ensure a finish you’ll be happy with.
Freshly Pressed & Ready
The final step is a professional press. Whether we’ve mended a tear or taken in a seam, we return your clothing to you clean, crisp, and ready to be worn and loved again.
Getting Your Garments Ready for Us

Before You Drop Off
If you need an alteration, pin or mark the area that needs adjusting. For repairs, just show us the problem such as a stuck zip or a missing button. If you are unsure, simply bring it in and we will check it for you.
What to Tell Us
Clear details help us get it right. For example, “shorten these trousers by 2 inches” or “zip on jacket not working.” We are always happy to answer any questions.
When You Collect
Your garment will be ready, freshly pressed and easy to wear. We suggest trying it on before leaving to make sure the fit feels right. Your satisfaction is our priority.
Your Repair & Alteration Questions, Answered
What are your opening hours?
We’re here for you every day of the week with the following hours:
🕒 Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
🕒 Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
🕒 Sunday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
How long does a repair or alteration take?
It depends on the job. Simple repairs like a zip replacement or a hem fix are often ready within 2-3 days. More complex alterations may take up to a week. We’ll always give you an accurate timeframe when you drop off.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is needed at all! Just pop in during our opening hours with your garment. We can usually assess it for you on the spot and provide a quote there and then.
Can you repair delicate fabrics like silk or leather?
We can handle most delicate fabrics like silk with great care. However, for specialist repairs on materials like leather or suede, we often recommend a dedicated leather repair specialist to ensure the best possible result.
My favourite jumper has a hole in it. Can it be saved?
In most cases, yes! We’re very good at discreetly patching and mending worn areas. Bring it in and we’ll assess the hole. We’ll always be honest with you about whether a repair is possible and how it will look.
Can you replace the lining in a jacket or coat?
Replacing a full lining is a complex job that falls outside of our standard services. We can, however, often repair small tears in a lining. For a full replacement, we would recommend a specialist tailor.
Do you offer a guarantee on your work?
Yes, we stand by the quality of our work. If an alteration we made doesn’t fit correctly or a repair we did fails under normal wear, please bring it back within a reasonable time, and we’ll make it right for you.
