Stitched Up Wetsuit Repairs

Stitched Up Wetsuit Repairs Stitched Up Wetsuit Repairs is a part time after work/weekend wetsuit repair & alteration service. SUWR is more of a passion than a job.

Welcome to Stitched Up Wetsuit Repairs

We started off in our garage, Papamoa East in December 2016. I have been manufacturing and repairing wetsuits for the better part of 45 years. I also have a full-time day job and the wetsuit repairs are a passionate service I offer to the local community and the rest of New Zealand. SUWR offers a full wetsuit repair and alteration service for your damaged and not-so-good fitting wetsuits. Basically, anything made from neoprene. We can also repair/replace zips and sliders on your board covers. If you have a wetsuit or board cover that needs repairing, please message me through this page, or text/phone us with your enquiry on 0277 706672. Alternatively, you can send us an email at [email protected] and we will get back to you ASAP with a quote/estimate, timeframe and process. We also have a drop off bin through the gate right side of the garage, you can leave your repairs in there at any time with your name and contact details, just message me when you do. Please make sure your wetsuit is clean, dry and free of all sand. Remember Repair, Reuse, Recycle, Repeat! The less waste in the landfill is the goal at the end of the day...

Daylight Saving is here! It’s time to say goodbye to another winter and hello to longer summer days out on the water! Don't forget to spring forward and claim your extra daylight hours. While you're at it, dust off your summer wetsuits and give them a once-over. If they need a bit of TLC, send me a message or drop them off for repair, I'll get them ship-shape before the summer swells start rolling 🤙🏼

Just finished this Rip Curl 43 Fusion wetsuit. Customer loves the wetsuit but struggles getting in and out of it. He asked me if I could install a new chest to make it easier for him. As you can see a new chest zip entry fitted, customer is very happy.
If you’re looking for some wetsuit wash, a refill or a tube of glue I have those in stock now.
Got a wetsuit repair or alteration give me a yell and I’ll sort it out for you too.

Here’s a little wetsuit hack to stop the shoulder panels of your suit wearing thin when storing it on a hanger. In between seasons your wettie can hang for a few months plus at a time and the weight of the suit eventually thins the shoulders out to nothing. All you need is one wetsuit hanger and a pool noodle.

Well that’s another summer done and dusted! As we head into Autumn 2026 now’s a great time to pull out your winter wetsuits, give them a checkover, make sure your chest zip sliders haven’t corroded and disintegrated… any problems give me a shout and I’ll get your wettie ship shape and squared away before the winter swells start rolling 🏄🏻‍♂️

Spring is done and welcome Summer!!!
Now is a great time to get your winter wetsuits checked over, serviced and repaired so they’re ready to go for next season. Ive been repairing allot of one particular brand of wetsuit this year, seems to be an on going fault and is not being picked up in the quality control phase of manufacturing. If you have one with the internal seam tape letting go give me a shout. I can repair and alter any wetsuit brand, board-cover zip repairs or full replacements. I can fit leg zips, comfort zips, and scuppers to your dive suits. We also carry the famous SLOSH Wetsuit Wash and are now stocking MASTICE Neoprene glue tubes.
Some photos for your viewing pleasure 🤙🏼
