Have you bought or received nappies that have slack elastics? Do you have nappies that have broken snaps or velcro that's lost it's stick or coming away from the seam? Do you want to make sure second hand nappies are safe for your baby?
Let us help. Here at The Nappy Guru HQ we've Stripped & Sanitised and fixed over 1500 nappies!
We also do brands that have "Rolled Elastic" like older Baby Beehinds nappies, Working at Home Maker (WAHM) nappies, night nappies and fitted nappies. These will be slightly altered as a channel will be sewn on to feed the new elastics through.
We do not do elastic repairs on brands that have elastic sewn onto the seams eg Alcmena, Seedling Baby, Close Pop Ins, Baby Bare Honey Pots, Peekaboo, Bare and Boho, Big W Big Softies, Minnie and Mae.
If your nappy brand is not listed above - that's ok - just contact us before placing order and we may ask you for some photos!
SNAPS:
We have a great variety of KAM snap colours to match the snaps that require fixing.
VELCRO:
We fix velcro that are losing grip or just coming away from seams. We can do complete velcro replacement.
STRIP & SANITISE (S&S):
We can Strip and Sanitise any smelly discoloured or second hand nappies as per the method prescribed on cleanclothnappies.com (The bible in cloth nappy care)! This will ensure your nappies are safe for your baby by resetting them for a fresh start.
This will involve long soak using stain remover + Detergent (Strip) and bleach or high temperature wash (Sanitisation) to kill any nasties. A S&S will ensure all your nappies are safe for your baby and they will be ready to wear when you receive them.

FAQs
How long does it take?
Usual turnaround for nappy fixes and S&S is around 2 weeks from receipt but will depend on the quantity sent and how many people require this service ahead of you. Elastic repairs take 30mins -1 Hour per nappy to complete and we can do about 5-8 nappies/day and by hand. Nappy repairs are done in a first come first serve basis - so you will be placed in a queue.
What if I am not completely happy?
If you are unhappy with the repairs, you can let us know by email with pictures. We will work together to come up with a solution or you will be offered a refund or store credit. There are no warranties given with nappy repairs however you can be assured that we are experts in the field and only use material bought here in Australia from reputable companies. If your nappy is under warranty - contact the company you bought from first as nappy repairs can void their warranty.
Who is doing the repairs?
Elastics and Velcro Repairs are done by my mother (Sriyani) while I (Kam) do the snap replacements. Our mission is to ensure nappies have a long life and keep them out of landfill as long as we possibly can. We want to encourage re-use so we have decided to keep the price as reasonable as possible to enable more people to afford nappies!
