The Zipyard UK Reviews 

Zip Yard Airdrie 10/10
Went in last minute for next day turnaround, literally got my items same day and alterations done above and beyond what id asked for.

Would 100% recommend

A massive thank you to the lovely Tina, who always does an absolutely beautiful job mending clothes.

The staff are wonderful, I came in with a corset top that I had zip issues with, they were very understanding and kind. They helped with all my questions and fixed my top 🤍

Excellent service from Zip Yard at Tesco Toton. Tina was absolutely lovely and so helpful. I went in with a jumpsuit that needed some length taken off the legs, and explained that I was hoping to wear it that evening.

Tina explained the express service to me, and I was so impressed to receive a text within the hour to say it was ready to collect!

Fantastic service from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier. I will most definitely be back. Thank you, Tina!

Photo can be provided.Airdrie Zipyard. Amateurs at best,rip off merchants who havent a clue about quality or service .Asked for hem to be taken up on trousers with invisible stitching rather than through and through. What i what I got was through and through and it was puckered the whole length of the hem. Dont trust them they will tell you anything

I had two Boss jackets that I felt needed a helping hand to ensure they stayed looking good.

I’m delighted with the service, quality and speed to turnaround.

Very happy to recommend as I will be going back next time I need work doing.

Is it normal to take a wedding dress in ask for to get taken in at the side then them proceed to pin without a price and then pin and say it needs hemmed Which I did not want had to wait till she was done pinning it before she said price and then quoted me £185.00 keep in mind I payed £90 on sale at David's bridel for my dress I payed if but I'm kind of annoyed about it I felt the need to pay because she did already pin it ? Am I crazy or is this bad ? Please help me out

I TOOK 5 PRS OF TROUSERS TO BE LET OUT ON THE WAIST AND SEAT. THE RECEPTIONIST WAS PLEASANT AND WELL MANNERED AND THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB. CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE.

Really appreciated their help, I went in last minute to tailor some pants I needed doing for that day as I was going away and had to change my pants over, the woman did it straight away for me to a high standard.. Highly recomend

I have recently discovered this shop and have found it to be fabulous! I am quite short so any nice trousers in Zara, H&M etc. are way too long for me and I don't want to live in M&S trousers. They do a short which fits me but I want to branch out a bit! I bought a couple of linen pairs in H&M, very inexpensive but lovely fit around the bum and waist. Got them taken up at Zip Yard Maidenhead and they are fabulous, absolutely love them and will wear them so much at work. Was £12.00 a pair but well worth it. I also took some cardigans which had no buttons (that was the style) but it got a bit annoying so got a popper/button put on each at £5.00 and now wear these too. Otherwise might not have worn them. Saves buying something else for more money and landfill. Also I had another pair of posh trousers that were moderately expensive and loved them but don't really wear heels that much now especially at work so got them taken up and they are now my favourite work trousers as they fit beautifully! No brainer, have really upcycled a lot of my clothing. Quick, convenient, excellent service and all staff are really nice and friendly. Also they don't charge for a plastic bag which I think is fab these days. We're all helping the environment by upcycling our clothes so this small gesture is much appreciated by me and every little thing counts I think. In the words of Arnie, I'll be back!!

Airdrie Shop - Took new jeans in to be shortened by an inch. Was firstly shocked at the £14 charge for them. When I collected them, the job was absolutely awful. The hem hadn't been stitched properly all the way round and was loose, the stitching over the seem was like a dogs dinner, and the elastic in the jeans leg had been stretched and uneven . What a mess!

Was told they would be sorted for collection "at any time" on the Thursday morning, for my holiday. They hadn't been touched. Will never be back in this shop. Bring back the wee old lady who retired.

Bedford store is so friendly and the service and alteration were completed quickly to such a high standard.

I have been dealing with The Zipyard in Warrington for years and I have always been extremely impressed with the alterations and service provided. Linda is always professional & helpful, thanks again for another wonderful alteration to an outfit that did not fit.

Great service with a smile. Ski jacket zip broke whilst on holiday. Got it fixed for under a tenner in under a week. Can’t ask for better than that.

I had my wedding dress altered at the Zip Yard Bishop’s Stortford, Ade did an amazing job on my dress, I couldn’t be happier! She also made the whole process so smooth and simple! Thank you so much!

I took a pair of straight trousers in to repair 3 holes and was charged £18. At drop-off, the trousers were briefly looked at and I asked for the price. There was no discussion about transparency, limitations, or the work being unacceptable in appearance. No warning that the repair could not be done properly, nor was any disclaimer given verbally or in writing.

When I collected the trousers a week later, only 2 of the 3 holes had been repaired, and the final one had to be done on the spot. The quality of the repair was extremely poor and left the trousers in a worse condition than before. The stitching is uneven and visually obvious, and one pocket repair reduced usability significantly.

After leaving a Google review, the business responded publically with a detailed explanation claiming that extensive warnings were given and expectations were carefully managed. This account does not match my experience at all.

I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision before trusting this business with their clothing and their replies to 1* reviews from others like myself.

Due to the quality of the repair and subsequent response, I am considering seeking advice from Citizens Advice Consumer Service

I have been to the chapel allerton branch twice this year now and both times I have been blown away by the quality of their tailoring. I am a ladies xs and buy mens clothes (tshirts and jeans) to get tailored to fit me, and the crew at the zipyard manage to transform the way these clothes look on me every time. Very grateful and amazed by their service.

I had a coat rezipped and a couple of buttons replaced at the store in warrington .
The quality of work was superb and it was value for money in my opinion .

Used the zipyard in OADBY, they took time to understand what was needed and offered suggestions even offered to make other adaptations if it would help, very polite and reliable ,granted not cheap but you get what you pay for in this case expertise and a quality job , definitely use again

I would give this no stars if possible. I got a bridesmaids dress altered here. I originally wanted the dress taking up, but the seamstress recommended they take it in as well. When I tried it on before the wedding the dress was completely unwearable, the leg split was in the middle of the dress revealing far too much and the strap was in the centre of the dress, which dug into my neck. The seam was unfinished and began to unravel immediately. I had to order a new dress and pay for next day delivery to have something to wear for the wedding. They also refused to give me a refund for the alteration or pay for the new dress. I would not recommend this place for any alterations, the whole experience suggests they don't know what they're doing.
