Just want to say a big thank you to the Zip Yard… dropped by a dress for a friends wedding on Saturday for alterations and had it back on Wednesday. Perfect fit, so much better. Friendly service and quick turnaround. Will definitely be back!

Excellent service - took in the waists of two pairs of shorts for me and the alterations were virtually invisible. Cost about £13 per garment which I thought was very reasonable and the staff were lovely. Couple of changing cubicles available so they can pin garments to fit you before getting started. I got my clothes back one week after handing them in but you can get a faster service for a small extra fee.

Zip Yard fixed my waterproof jacket and maintained its waterproof integrity with a neat, barely noticeable patch and badges for decoration. I was really impressed at the speed of the fix and the professionalism within the store. I will certainly be using them again for any alteration and repair jobs on clothes I need in the future. Thanks team!

G. D.

The customer service, professionalism and attention to detail in The Zip Yard Glasgow are all first class. The tailor gave me such brilliant advice and I have to admit, she was correct about each element. Had a suit re-made to measure and a coat altered. Great value for money and a wonderful experience. Thank you to all involved. George

N. B.

Great service provided by really lovely people (and very cute pups)

J.

This is great service to have nearby. My family have used them for alterations of formal wear, jeans, and jackets. Every time they do a fantastic job! And the people are very friendly.

F. D.

Came in with a pull-over & a coat to fix. I am no professional, but the job seems to have been well done and the result is sturdy. The repairs were done very fast (same day) at a very reasonable price. Very friendly and nice staff.

T. R.

Great place, fantastic customer service, amazing alterations & competitively priced, ideally located in the heart of the west end. Thank you Zipyard. :) I will come again haha

A.

They repaired a much loved pair of heavy curtains with triple pleats askew and torn stained lining, creatively matching the lining so that the repair was simpler and cheaper than it might have been, and all looks good as new.

A. B.

I took the dress I bought for my graduation ball in to get taken up. They did a fantastic job, you would never know it has been altered! The customer service was fantastic, very polite and lovely. They were also very helpful and informative when I initially went in to query prices. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again.

C.

Great place, great staff, great service! I am very much into my denim and I fully trust Yip Yard with my jeans. I had a rare pair tailored and shortened seamlessly. The price was very reasonable and I am so happy with the results. The fella who runs the business is a good laugh also.

M. R.

This shop had already became my go to place for miscellaneous sewing needs in Glasgow. Today they really went above and beyond though. Had a garment where a small bit of critical stitching failed on my first ware. I tried to quick fix myself but to no avail. The lady behind the counter heard my story, looked at the garment, and then fixed it on the spot for me - for free! Among other things such kindness truly made my day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is not enough!

L.

Took my leather jacket to get patches. Also to get a new button put on my jeans. They was very friendly, very reasonably priced and very fast service. I got my things back the same day. Highly recommended

J. H.

The Zip Yard was fabulous. The staff were so friendly and helpful as I needed to get my partners bike leathers mended and they are like new. Also, finished ahead of the original deadline and couldn’t be more knowledgable. Would highly recommend for quality of service and price.

S. M.

Great service from the start. Contacted James via email about my broken zip on my one piece racing suit and straight away told me wouldn’t be a problem drop it off on the Saturday as this suited me and would be ready Thursday. The suit was actually ready Wednesday and the new zip is night and day compared to the original and was all done for £35 which is great value for money I’ll be recommending James and his team to many a biker friend.

I. D.

Would like to thank James and staff for great quick friendly service and great prices. I had an emergency the other day and needed trousers altered quickly and was told would take couple of days but would try to do quicker. Within 4 hours i received very professional text to say they were ready and had been inspected by quality control. I have already been back with more alterations and will be recommending James and staff to all my friends and family.

N. L.

My daughter got her prom dress altered here. The machinists were professional and did a lovely job, in addition it was done quickly and I was sent a text when it was ready. I would definitely recommend this shop and was very pleased with the overall experience.

G. O.

This is a professional and friendly alterations service that offers good value for money and quality work. I have had several suits and jackets altered to good effect. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and very capable of offering good advice about what can and cannot be done.

p. s.

They did a great job altering my jeans. Would definitely recommend this place, staff is also very friendly and did a professional work.

B. O.

The talented team at Zip Yard customised and altered my wedding dress with great skill and care. I came to them with quite a challenging task but they did everything they could to make sure that my dress was perfect! The owner and seamstress were extremely patient, flexible and accommodating to my many requests. I highly highly recommend the team at Zipyard! Extremely affordable for the level of service and skill.

G. K.

Took my bridesmaid dress here and my wedding dress for slight alterations after bad previous alterations! Not only was the owner welcoming and helpful after being let down for an appointment, the staff were great also. We got measured and left. My order was completed within a very reasonable time and was millimetre perfect!!! I didnt have time to try my dress on the day i picked it up as i wasnt well and when we tried them on at home i was delighted!! Will definately be back!! Reasonably priced also!!!! ❤️

J. R.

Really friendly, great value, super quick turnaround. Took a coat in to get the zip fixed and ready to collect within ~2 hours.

R. S.

I love this gem of a place. Have used it several times for various alterations. All staff’s work is first class but I have to give a massive shout out to Diyar who has worked his magic on my son’s work trousers. They had to be taken up, taken in the whole length of the leg and the cargo pockets had to stay in place! What a terrific job this polite, friendly and very mannerly young man has done. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Zip Yard and also Diyar.

I. H.

Cannot thank the staff enough. Bought a dress for my daughter's wedding that needed taken up at the shoulders. Took it to a local alteration shop who simply ran a seem across the top and down the sleeve. Shocked when it was returned is an understatement. Was adviced to try here and I was amazed at how they managed to make the dress look gorgeous again. The sesmstesses here really know their trade. Thank you some much for resolving what could have been an expensive and stressful issue. Would definitely use again and recommend.

D. W.

Needed three pockets to be replaced in a leather jacket and a collar to be reversed on a gents shirt. From the very outset, James at Zip Yard was nothing short of professional. I was quoted a competitive price for the work to be carried out and as promised, I received a text a few days later stating that the garments were ready for collection. I should add that my on mother was a seamstress and I know a good job when I see it. The work carried out by Zip Yard was exceptionally high. Great doing business with this company.

S. G.

10/10 great customer service and fast delivery

C. D.

Great place which I had walked past numerous times but never noticed! Repaired my jackets with friendly and efficient service: would use again for sure

A. “. M.

I walked into the zip yard with a dress that I thought didn't stand a chance at being fixed, it was six sizes too small and was made with very fine and intricate materials that I had never seen before. The staff in the zip yard saw how heartbroken I was over my dress and it's state and promised me that they would do everything they could to try and make it better, they did that and so much more. One of the ladies who dealt with my dress actually went out of her way to travel to go and buy the exact materials to make sure that my dress would be fixed and ready for my prom night. I can't thank the zip yard Enough for all of their hard work and dedication to their customers. They've made a dress that I once hated Into a work of art, relieved tonnes of stress and made me feel like an absolute princess in my prom dress. I will definitely be going back for any alterations and will be recommending them to anyone and everyone who ever needs clothing fixed. These guys truly are fantastic at what they do!

B. L.

Had my motorcycle leathers altered, as the zips didn't match to join the jacket and trousers together. Brilliant job, the new zips are sturdy and the seams are strong. The original zips would have made the leathers too tight if they did match, as the jacket and trousers are different kinds. The new zips were sewn in giving me more room and the leathers fit perfectly.

J. S.

Their owner is a very well informed, intelligent, and personable person. I have been here three times now and can safely say that they are one of the best if not the best alteration service in Glasgow.

C. M.

I have been a customer for years. No matter how difficult or demanding the repair or alteration, the work here is outstanding. Intelligent, professional and polite, the staff are the equal of their brilliant work. Thoroughly recommended.

J. S.

I was very impressed with the service - friendly and professional. I had 5 things fixed and the standard of finish was very high and the price low. Would highly recommend this business!

S. M.

Great place to get alterations done. A friendly and professional service. I was also surprised they would fix dog t-shirts. I am sure my mini dachshund will appreciate that!

G. M.

They took up the sleeves on my Rohan jacket and at first when I got home I thought they had handed me back my jacket untouched. But it turns out they just made such a fantastic job that it was impossible to see the work. Very skilful piece of work - good as new.

L. K.

I took a dress into the Zip Yard on Great Western Road that I thought would be irreparable. It was lace and my pup had gotten hold of it and tore the lace. Impossible to repair I hear you say, and I would have agreed. But on collection I can safely say that you would never have guessed it had been damaged at all! I would recommend the Zip Yard without hesitation and cannot thank them enough for saving my dress :)

A. M.

Very happy with the customer service, I received my items very quickly and the quality of the work was brilliant. I would highly recommend as the friendly and professional staff made me feel very welcome, contributing to the overall pleasant experience.

A. D.

I cannot recommend the zip yard enough. a few years ago i bought schott perfecto leather jacket and babied it ever since. to my horror, i took it out of the wardrobe a week ago and noticed that there was a 2 inch tear above the left pocket. i could have honestly cried. i think i had caught it when putting my purse in it. i googled 'leather repairs glasgow' half-heartedly because i truly thought my jacket was knackered and i'd need to just buy another one. i found the zip yard, but didn't bother reading any reviews because i honestly thought no-one could fix it. i took it into the shop and the guy on the counter was brilliant. he weighed up what needed to be done and then spoke with one of the ladies in the back...he explained they would restitch and strengthen the pocket, whilst gluing and patching the tear. in all it would be £20 and would take a week. anyway, i collected the jacket monday just passed and i am in awe of what they've done. it's gone from a noticeable tear which would only have gotten worse...to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! it just looks like a slight wrinkle in the leather...that i have to hold under the light to see. it's unreal what they've done. i cannot recommend them highly enough or thank them for what they've done. added to that, they must have cleaned and nourished the leather as well, because it looks brand new. thanks!!! :)

A. O.

Have used the Zipyard several times, most recently my daughter wanted 2 pockets added to the front of a pocketless jacket and the Zipyard staff did an excellent job, you would never know the pockets were not originally there.

K. R.

This is the second time I’ve used this place last time was shortening skirts which was done really well. This time I had a leather bag with a strap that was too long. The lady was so helpful and did an amazing job. Really recommend this place

Excellent and professional 'invisible' repair of a chiffon bridesmaid dress that had been damaged by our kitten! An imminent bridal disaster was averted, thanks to the Zip Yard! :-) Only negative - the parking is a nightmare!! :-(

A. I.

Excellent service and professional repair . An iron badge from my jacket was ripped off causing a cut on one of the sleeves of the jacket and was almost impossible to be fixed but after a small alternation the jacket was fixed !

I recently bought a Northface Goretex jacket worth an outrageous £210 for the ridiculous price of £25 on Glasgow Gumtree from a seller who was having a bit of a clear out,The deal seemed too good to be true,and it was,to a certain extent.The jacket was hardly worn at all,and came complete with the fleece inner jacket and detachable hood and was clean and fitted me properly,The only downside was that the main zip was broken beyond repair.Of course I bought it anyway,then set about tracking down a reputable company to replace the zip,This is where the zip yard and yelp come into play.Having read the good reviews by past customers i decided to give them a try,The staff were very friendly and proffesional from the word go,the shop was easy to find,and the prices were really reasonable to be honest.I dropped the jacket off last this on monday evening and recieved a text telling me the jacket was complete and had passed quality control on wednesday afternoon.A whole 24 hours before it was supposed to be completed.Having now collected the jacket,just in time for this fine winter weather,I can confirm the zip yard does excellent work to a very high standard and my new favourite jacket lives to fight another winter.And best of all,The zip yard only charged me £20 for their troubles.Im very happy to recommend them to anyone out there looking for repairs or alterations.

S.

The shoulder strap of my back back had worn of after years of usage. I took it to this store and asked them if they can fix it. They took it in and returned it the next day. The stitching was so clean and it looks good as new. The people at the store were friendly too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zipyard are an excellent find, I have used them for the last 5 years since discovery. Excellent skills with alterations, repair and even redesigning.
