Garment Repairs and Alterations
A zip, a hem, a split seam. We can mend it while we clean the garment.
If we are cleaning the garment, we can replace the zip or take up the hem without sending you to a tailor.
Common jobs are zip replacements, trouser hems, skirt hems, split seams, buttons and taking in or letting out. A button starts at £5.50, a standard zip at £21.50 and trouser shortening at £21.50, with 10% off when you have three things done. The full list is on the prices page.
Can you take up a hem and clean the same garment?
Yes. We agree the alteration first, then clean and press so the new hem is finished, not steamed over a crease.

Questions
Do you do alterations?
Yes. We take up hems, close split seams, replace buttons and zips, and take garments in or let them out, all in the same building as the cleaning. A button starts at £5.50, a standard zip at £21.50 and trouser shortening at £21.50, with 10% off when you have three things done. The full list is on the prices page.
We agree the work with you first and clean the garment afterwards, so a new hem comes back properly finished instead of pressed over the old crease. Making a garment from scratch is the one thing we do not do.
Can you replace a zip?
Yes. Bring the garment in so we can match the zip and tell you the turnaround before we start.
If the piece also needs a clean, we can do both as one job. You approve the work and the price before anything starts.
