HOW IT WORKS?

We will take a look at your kayak and provide a price estimate straight away. If you’re happy to proceed, you can leave the boat with us and we’ll complete the repair as soon as our schedule allows.

We will only contact you if something needs approval and will notify and invoice you when the repair is complete and ready for pickup.
