Type of repair | Our repair cost | Parts cost (for DIY) |
Grommet
We offer standard sizes: #0 (most tents) or #1 (most tarps) |
$5/each | $1/each |
Zippers (slider replacements only)
Zipper repairs can be frustrating, because it's not always immediately clear what the culprit is. Unless there are obvious points of damage, it could be either the slider or the track. Unfortunately we can't always tell, i.e., a track can look fine, but if a new zipper slider doesn't work well on it, we'd have to replace the track. We will do our best to keep you notified. |

$2/each slider

Holes, rips, or tears in technical fabric or mesh fabric
For example, on tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, clothes, etc. For materials or areas where waterproofing is important (e.g., tents or outer layers), we may recommend a stick-on patch of *clear* Tenacious tape, since sewing introduces holes new holes, but we're open if you'd prefer a sewn on patch For materials where waterproofing is not important (e.g., chair fabric or tent mesh), we sew on a patch of similar material. A photo and/or description will help us confirm we have the right material (note that our color options may be limited to basic tones like black) |
$5-10 for *clear* Tenacious tape patch
Up to $30 for sewing work (e.g., at seam) |
$3/each 20x3 inch piece of *clear* Tenacious tape

Clothing seams (e.g., pant crotches, pant hems, jacket pits)
Requires re-sewing to reinforce the seam (for pant hems, e.g., ski pants that have dragged and shredded, we sew on a nylon patch). Generally, there is not a need to re-waterproof the area sewn |
Up to $30 | N/A |
Leaky sleeping pad
We do a full submersion test to find holes ($25) & then conduct the appropriate repairs ($10). Once the submersion test is started, that part of the fee is not refundable. However if we discover irregular issues (e.g., we can't repair it), we will contact you before proceeding. Rarely, a pad may need to go through the test & repair cycle multiple times to catch all holes. A second cycle is included as a courtesy. If more cycles are needed, we will contact you first; unfortunately since the process is labor intensive, these will need to be paid, but we are happy to offer a discount |
$35/pad |
$7/tube of Seam Seal
***Some manufacturers include a patch with some glue for field repairs (if you're renting with us, ask and we'll give you one for free), but these tend to not be as durable, so we recommend using seam sealant above once you get home |
Sleeping bag laundry
Using appropriate technical detergent |
$15 - synthetic bag
$25 - down bag |
~$13/bottle of detergent from Nikwax or Granger's
***Stains don't come out very easily, laundry is best for refreshing & removing odors. Watch our repair video |
Waterproof clothing laundry
Using appropriate technical detergents to both clean and then re-waterproof |
$5/article of clothing | |
Tent poles (shared shipping cost only)
We cannot repair tent poles in-house. We ship our poles to Tent Pole Technologies. We're happy to ship your poles & split the shipping cost. You are responsible for ensuring they can repair your poles & then paying the cost of the repair and prorated shipping |
Usually ~$5-20 for prorated shipping | N/A |
