Quality items, such as bags and suitcases of well-known brands, usually serve their owners for a long time. But what if the favorite thing is out of order, and I don’t want to part with it at all? Of course, you can buy a new one, but it’s more convenient and practical to repair the one you are used to.
Many people are ready to make every effort to save their favorite suitcases from premature death. Repair of such products is a rather complicated and time-consuming process.
Broken? No problem!
You can deal with some damage yourself: it’s not difficult to fix the wheels and the handle of a suitcase. Small cracks on the wheels and the pull-out handle are easy to repair by pouring them with epoxy.
A worn or torn leather handle can be replaced with a new one by making it from a material suitable in color and texture. If there is a seam on the lining of the suitcase, it can be gently stitched with a portable sewing machine.
Complicated repair
If a more serious breakdown occurs, only a suitcase repair shop can help. Specialists successfully cope with most of the problems that arise in the process of using these products.
Most often, carelessly transported luggage bursts at the seam or cracks. Torn travel bags and suitcases often come into the workshop. Repair of a product made of genuine or artificial leather consists in the restoration of damaged areas, the establishment of decorative patches and the restoration of edging.
A plastic case gets damaged quite often: cracks, dents, broken corners and breaks occur at the points of attachment of wheel blocks on it. Do not rush to throw such bags! Repair of even hopeless-looking products using thermoforming technology has already saved thousands of plastic cases.
At the time of packing luggage very often lightning breaks. Its replacement is the most time-consuming process. First, the old zipper is removed, then new accessories are selected that are completely suitable in style, color and length to your product, after which a new zipper is sewn. All work is done on specialized equipment, so at home such a repair is not possible.
Trust the professionals
It is best to contact an authorized service center, as its specialists carry out a full repair of suitcases. In Moscow, the addresses of such companies can be found, for example, through Mosgorspravka.
When the suitcase breaks before your eyes, be sure to collect all the details and take them to the workshop. This will reduce the cost of repairs by bonding some parts, and also help the master correctly and quickly select the missing parts and accessories.
It is necessary to observe simple rules that will extend the suitcase's life: do not sit on it, do not carry it on dirt, off-road and frost. In no case do you drag him by the retractable handle on the stairs, striking at each step. Take care of your suitcases, repairing them can be expensive, and you can’t do without this thing.
