Zippers can be found on everyday items like jeans, jackets, bags, skirts and even cushion covers, which is why it can be frustrating when one isn’t working properly or simply breaks. 

So, if the zip on your favourite dress or jeans is refusing to budge, there’s only one thing to do. Contact your local Alter It store today and our professional zipper repair service will come to the rescue.

FAQs

Do you fix bag zippers?

Yes. Our expert tailors can fix broken zippers on backpacks, handbags, purses, satchels, and more. 

Should I repair or replace my zipper?

This will depend on the condition of the zip. We’ll always try to repair where we can, but more major breaks will need replacing. We can source a range of different styles and colours to match your item of clothing to a tee. 

Do you do jeans alterations?

Yes. Sometimes you need more than a zipper repair or replacement. If you want to alter the waistline of your jeans or hem them, we can take care of that, too.
