Thread: Backpack repairs in Tauranga

Does anyone know of a decent company/person that repairs outdoor gear, canvas, etc in Tauranga? I have a stuffed zip on my Markhor pack that needs repairing.

Talked to some local stores and they all send their repairs to Christchurch, which I don't want to do (waste $ on shipping).

i know the guy that repairs packs for Markhor, he is based in Wellington

Let me know if you want his details

Thanks @HNTMAD, the pack is probably covered under warranty (15 years?), so it may pay to hit the hunting store up again to sort. Will let you know.

Hey Bryan try Shane Barr shoe repais in central parade Mt. Has repaired a few for me. Great service. I even think @Tahr has used them for something

Yeah. My Bestard boots. He did a great repair job. Unpicked the seams and stitched from the inside out rather than going through both layers which is the lazy way.

There's a lady in Greerton, just by Greerton Furnishing, she double stitched a leg of mutton leather scabbard for me by hand, a really great job and very reasonably priced. Worth a gander

Dont know where the guy that worked out the back of the camping store in Greerton went to ? He did good stuff. Or try the canvas place in Glen Lyon Ave

Thanks for all the help guys, I ended up taking the pack to the friendly people at Hamills Tauranga who are sorting it out for me.
