A certain minimum temperature is required for successful GRP repairs. Anything below 10°C is critical. Since our current standard workshop has no heating, we may have to use heated rooms in the depths of winter, for which we have to pay a small extra amount, which we will then charge you. We will discuss this with you before we finalize anything.

Plastic (PE) kayaks are incredibly robust, but they are all the more difficult to repair if they do break. We can happily try to weld a PE kayak for you, but we cannot guarantee whether the repair will be successful or permanent. Welded PE kayaks usually break at the seam sooner or later. In such a case, you will have little choice but to dispose of the kayak.

Please always contact us before sending us a drysuit for service! We are primarily guides and coaches and are therefore on the road a lot. We can only do our workshop work in the "in-between times". So we always have to make an appointment first. It is also important that you describe the problem to us as precisely as possible and tell us which areas are most likely to get wet.

Fabric:
We do not have a pressure test facility. Therefore, despite our careful work, we cannot guarantee that your dry suit will be completely tight afterwards. This is particularly the case if the suit is already old and the membrane has been subjected to high stress for a long time. Sometimes things are simply broken or a case for the manufacturer to overhaul them.

Latex cuffs:
No cuff is completely tight! In particular, people with tendons often experience water getting in through the arm cuffs when rolling (etc.). This is usually because when making a fist, "tunnels" form between the tendons in the pulse area, through which the water can shoot through unhindered. No cuff in the world can prevent this 100%. Similar phenomena can also occur on the neck, depending on the movement of the head.

Zippers, socks and neoprene cuffs:
Unfortunately, we cannot replace waterproof zippers, booties and neoprene cuffs. In such cases, please contact the manufacturer of your dry suit.

Diving dry suits etc.:
We only repair dry suits that are specifically made for paddling and are classified as "Surface Immersion Suits".

Material:
We only use high-quality latex cuffs from the market leader Kokatat and Aquasure glue.

Postage:
We charge a flat rate of 12 CHF for postage (B-Post) and packaging. We only ship to addresses in Switzerland.
