A broken zip is why most good coats stop being worn. The coat is fine, the lining is fine, and it hangs in the hall for two winters because replacing the zip feels like more trouble than it is.
Coats, dresses, jeans, bags, cushion covers. Zips are matched to the original in weight and colour, and on a lined coat the lining is reopened and closed by hand so the repair doesn't show from inside either.

You hear your price before anything is cut — at your fitting, or from your photos and measurements. The shears stay closed until you say yes.
Saying no at a fitting costs nothing. Silk, velvet, leather and beading take longer by hand — you'll hear that price first, too.
What clients say
Great quality of work and very fast completion.
Great quality of work, quick responses and I will definitely use again!
Absolutely love the work from Beautasy Atelier! 🤍 I've had so many things done both for myself and family and I've always been so happy with the results. The quality is amazing, the finishing is so neat and everything fits exactly how I wanted. You can really tell that a lot of care and attention to detail goes into every piece. Highly recommend✨

By appointment — the address comes with your booking. The repair is quoted while you're there.
- 02
Matched, not just replaced
The new zip is matched to the original in weight, length and colour, so the garment doesn't look repaired.

Back in the wardrobe
Collect within the week and go back to wearing it.
Questions people ask
How much does it cost to replace a zip?
From £18 in jeans or trousers, from £22 in a dress, from £45 in a lined coat. Coats cost more because the lining has to be opened and closed by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing the garment?
Almost always, if you liked the garment. A coat zip from £45 against a new coat is not a close comparison, and the coat you already own already fits you.
Can you repair bags and home items?
Yes — bags, cushion covers, sleeping bags and pushchair covers all come through. From £14.
Do you fix moth holes and tears?
Small tears and seam splits from £12. Moth holes in knitwear depend on the yarn — send Kristina a photo or choose a time and we'll look.
