George Alterations & Repairs

Makers of Fabric Products

Whatever your requirements I am sure we can help, from shortening a pair of trousers taking in a dress, re-purposing some curtains, creating a memory cushion, repairing a favourite coat, or simply making you some bespoke cushions.

Email or message us, we can’t always get to answer the phone especially if the machines are on.
We endeavour to get back to every enquiry within 24 hours.

We look forward to hearing from / meeting you to have chat about how I can alter, repair or make something for you. We run a collection and delivery service within South East Cornwall.

We are happy to post/courier within the UK and globally.

Zips, Buttons & Fastenings

We also can replace zips, buttons & other types of fastenings and do general repairs on all all sorts of clothing and soft furnishings, from cardigans to curtains, cushions to coats. 

Best thing to do is ask David, via the contact page and he should be able to help.

Why count on us to deliver? 

George is more than just a business. We are committed to reducing the huge amount of waste in the fashion / textile industry currently.

We believe that quality is better than quantity. By repairing, re-using and re-purposing fabrics and garments not only are you saving money but, you will also be helping the environment by reducing the damage caused by fast fashion and mass produced textiles.
