Replacing, fixing zips and swapping sliders – fast and fair
Is your zip stuck or broken? At Zekos Express on Sempacherstrasse 19 in Lucerne we repair or replace zippers on jackets, trousers, skirts, dresses, bags, boots and tents. Often a new slider is enough – sometimes the whole zip needs replacing.
Whether metal, plastic or concealed zip: we swap sliders, replace faulty teeth or sew in a completely new zip – including on leather jackets, lined winter coats, jeans, boots and handbags. We select the matching colour and length for you.
A zip repair starts at CHF 42.– with us. The exact price depends on whether only the slider is swapped or the whole zip is replaced, and how complex the garment is (a lined winter jacket or a leather jacket, for example). We give you the binding price after a quick check at Sempacherstrasse 19 – before we start, with no surprises.
An overview of what we do around zips – usually without an appointment and often as express.
Not every broken zip has to be replaced. If the teeth are intact and only the slider is worn out, jamming, or the pull has come off, the zip can be mended – that is quicker and costs less. But if the teeth no longer interlock, teeth are missing or the tape is torn, we sew in a new zip. We can tell which applies in two minutes: bring the garment to Sempacherstrasse 19 in Lucerne without an appointment, five minutes on foot from the station.
