Zip repairs?

[rudebhoy]

The zip on one of the side pockets of my bag went yesterday.

It’s a Big Max waterproof bag, unfortunately out of warranty.

Is it possible to get these fixed? I had a similar problem a few years ago with my winter pencil bag, took it to a local clothes alteration place who said it was impossible to get the bag on their sewing machine.

Thanks, I’ll ring them this morning.

I'd be interested in how it goes. I've thrown away bags with broken zips before.

I had exactly the same conversation regarding my big max waterproof bag.

Big max gave me a new bag, I sense this is a common issue for them, just seems a shame to bin a perfectly good waterproof bag because of one broken zip.

Mine is 3 years old, I can’t see them replacing it with a new one!

Stick it on e bay. There's a bloke on there that buys the bags gets them sewn up and sells them on.

Just spoke to them. They can do it, repairs from £18, replacement £48. Repair can be done while you wait, new zip would need to be ordered.

Will pop down next week, hopefully repair will do the job.

Thanks for the tip.

Just had this problem but my bag was in warranty and they replaced it quickly. Is it a waterproof bag? I seem to have issues with zips on waterproof bags a lot

Yes, it’s a Big Max waterproof bag. I got it as a replacement for a waterproof Callaway bag when a zip went on that

Bought one of these last year and really easy to fit and has worked fine

Pardon our interruption...
