Industrial Sewing Repairs

Barrie Tent & Awning's sewing department can repair almost any fabric project as long as it can fit under our industrial sewing machines. We can patch holes caused by rodent damage in your camper top or pool cover. We can replace damaged zippers with heavier duty vinyl ones usually available in a range of colours for most applications.  If you have something made of fabric, canvas or vinyl materials, we should be able to help or recommend that it is time to replace rather than attempt to repair. 

​

Each project is unique and the cost is based on the amount of time to complete the repairs along with the amount of materials required for each project. Our shop rate for repairs is $80.00 per hour, plus HST.  We can provide a ball park estimate prior to proceeding with the best method is to bring the project in to our shop so we can take measurements and be able to assess the requirements first hand.

 

Please note the estimates are just that. Our best guess on the amount of time and materials each unique project will require.  The final pricing may be lower or higher than the estimate. But we do strive to be as accurate as possible before starting, and can contact the customer during the repair if there is a significant change to the original estimate. 

​

Below are a number of our most popular repairs

Pop up Trailers

We can repair or replace the fabric components of your pop-up trailer after being able to make an in-person assessment of the damage that needs to be repaired. The most common repairs are new mesh screens, replacement zippers and repairs of rodent damage. 

 

We do need to have the trailer or fabric components brought to our Barrie location in order to determine estimated cost.  Please note that after the hands-on assessment, we would then need to book a date in the coming weeks for the trailer to be brought back and left with us as any major trailer repairs can take over a week to complete as we focus on this project in our sewing department.

 

Customers should contact us in the weeks prior to the start of the camping season for the work to be completed prior to any planned trips to avoid being disappointed.    

Pool Covers

Barrie Tent and Awning can repair your existing pool cover. Rodent damage and the re-stitching of safety straps are the two most popular repairs. These repairs can take significant time and cost again depends on time and materials based on our shop rate of $80.00 per hour.

 

Therefore, pool covers with significant damage can typically take 10 to 12+ hours to complete all necessary work. However, we do need to see the cover in order to determine approximate cost of any repairs prior to the customer deciding if they want to proceed.  

Boat Mooring Covers

Another popular item brought in for repair are boat mooring covers.  Again, upon visual inspection, we can assess if the cover can be repaired or does need to be replaced.  Like work on pop-up campers, if an entire new cover is required, we do need the boat for up to a week to complete the project. 

 

We can also repair some Bimini tops if they can be taken off their frames. These repairs often involve new clear vinyl windows, replacement of zippers, new domes and patching of tears or holes in the fabric. Repairs are base on time and materials required for each project upon visual inspection. Please note that we do not manufacture complete new replacement Bimini tops. 

Awning in a Bag

Every spring we will get a number of these Awning-in-a-bag brought in for repair.  The two most popular repairs are to replace the zipper or to repair the track that holds the awning on to the camper trailer.  On occasion we also provide an entirely new protective bag or replace the shade cover. We do not have replacement poles however.

 

Repairs are base on time and materials required for each project. If you know the length of the awning, we can often give a rough ball park on the price that would have to be confirmed once the awning is brought into us.
