Whether it’s a rip or a tear, missing studs or a broken zip, our experts in South Shields will give your jacket a new lease of life. And, while it's with us, why not choose to have it cleaned for a full refresh? This service is currently for UK only.

*Please note that our comprehensive quilt repair service is for Barbour quilted garments only. The majority of quilt repair services are possible on diamond and baffle quilt styles. Where possible, we will also repair your onion quilt, however, please note that these are more complex in construction so cannot always be repaired to the same level.
