Dull as ditch water post, but where in Sheffield can I get a zip replaced on my favourite jacket? It simply fell off...
City Centre/ Eccy Road preferred!
Thanks

I don't know of anywhere on Eccy Road or Town Centre but there's a place in Meadowhall opposite Timpsons that does these sort of repairs and also a place along Woodseats called ''iish'' that does clothing alterations/repairs etc

:thumbsup:

there used to be one in ecclesfield. but took some trousers there to have zip replaced and it was expensive. didn't cost me must more to buy new ones. harringtons in market used to do alterations if there still there

The dry cleaners next to Somerfield on Ecc Rd do alterations/new zips etc. It's not that cheap though (e.g. about 12quid for a new zip in some jeans) so it's not always worth repairing.

i went to the one in meadowhall at the side of the photo shop oppostie argos, it cost me £22 to have a new zip put in a waterproof coat:rant:

christ, time for a new jacket then i reckon, £22!

You could buy a zip from Atkinson haberdashery for a few quid and ask someone who knows how to sew to put it in for you. There are still people out there who can do that, aren't there, or am I the only one with a sewing box? <Looks about wondering if she is alone>

In the Ecclesall Road area try Amie B just behind the Porter Cottage pub on Sharrowvale Road. She's done some repairs and alterations for me in the past and I can recommend her:

No, you're not the only one. Zips are a bit tricky though and these days I don't have the time - currently I have 3 pairs of trousers awaiting new zips.

Thanks Alastair I'll give that a go its just round the corner from me
