Check list before sending your waders
We will always do our best to get the waders as efficiently and as quickly repaired and returned to you as possible, but you can help us make this easier and quicker for you:
When sending waders to us, at the address at the bottom of this page, please DO;
fill in the proforma , this is a link, with your details preferably in capitals, print off and enclose with your waders--Here
send them in a bag ideally, not a box
include an email address, phone number and return address in legible detail please
N.B. No work will be initiated by us unless the appropriate contact details are provided.
Please wash your waders before sending if they are so dirty that they will contaminate other peoples waders. If they are not clean it causes practical difficulties before repairing/altering can begin. If we have to wash the waders unfortunately there will be charge of £15 imposed. We are not worried about marks and stains, but we are concerned if your waders are so muddy and dirty that they contaminate other anglers waders. Basically rinse the muck off. If the waders are already clean dont worry, just dry and send them.
Please turn your stocking foot waders inside out if possible, it would be really appreciated. Boot foot waders, with attached welly type boots can be left the right way round.
Leave the braces on.
Use the pro forma to give clear explanation of the fault to be repaired. If you don't remember don't worry, we will find any leaks.
If possible send them in a plastic bag rather than a box. Please use minimal tape.
We recommend you identify your waders (name or Initials inside).
It makes no difference at this end how you get them to us, any courier or the post office is fine. If you are in the area you can drop them off.
Please DO NOT;
Send wader bags, important boxes or belts (this will considerably slow down their return and its just not possible to store a box for every wader we get)
Mummify the package with tape, we want to be able to get in without a knife or grinder.
Write the note to me with your feet, or put a paper note in with wet waders. The note will be ineligible and the waders will go mouldy. email addresses are particularly difficult to read if not in capitals - email addresses can be written in upper or lower case, it makes no difference, its only websites that this makes a difference for.
Contact me by email if required at dave@wader-repair.co.uk this is by far the best way to contact me.
By phone monday - friday 0900 - 1700 on 07970041452
When they arrive I will test them, email a report including faults found, repair choices, time scale costs and payment methods. Worst case is a full seamseal, repairing all the pin holes, cuts and scrape leaks we find, and this is £50 plus postage of £10 and takes two to three weeks to complete, longer if there are a lot of different problems. If alterations are required this will increase the timescale and obviously the cost. We can accept basically any payment method and will send details of this with the report.
We don’t charge if we cannot repair them, other than return costs, and will advise if we think they will be a problem, but very few are. Even if it’s a disaster we can normally offer warranty replacement waders with huge discounts, these start at £75 inc seamseal, testing, years guarantee and postage.
phone 07970041452 - Monday - Friday, between 0900 to 1700 only please, email out with these times
