Leather Repairs and Alterations
I offer a repair and alterations service to leather belts and straps to help prolong the life of items we own and reduce what we throw away.

How It Works & Location
I’m based in London and customers have sent work to me from throughout the UK.
Scroll to view services I can offer then contact me, Alison, at the email address alison@hadstonleather.co.uk with a photo and description of the work. I’ll let you know what I can do to help and give you details on where to send it to if you want to go ahead.
Working Hours & Situation: To be open I do this as a part time venture and I work 4 days a week alongside this in another job (main bill payer :)).
I won’t be able to help everyone sadly and sometimes there maybe a lag time between responses but I will try to get to all of the emails with a reply.
Prices (plus postage)
To fit a new strap:
English Bridle Leather or Oak Bark Leather = £110
Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather = £70
To fit a new buckle (from my stock) = £25
Belt Shortening (most cases) = £30. Any trickier work will be priced individually.
All other repairs and alterations - I’ll quote on a case by case basis depending on the work needed.

New Buckle
I can fix a new buckle to your strap from any I have in stock or one that you have.

Alterations - Broken Pieces of Leather
Where the leather has split around the buckle on a belt, I can replace that with a new piece of leather to hold the buckle back in place again.
