Repairing damage

The most common damage to an Umbrella is either the canopy coming away from the ribs, broken tips or a bent shaft. The canopies are held by cotton stitching and is quite easy to repair with a basic needle and thread loop through the eyelets at the ends of the ribs or the metal tips. If the shaft has slightly bent but not buckled, a careful roll on a hard tabletop or similar whilst applying gently pressure should straighten it. If your Umbrella shaft buckles and a dent appears, it isnt repairable and should be replaced. The metal tips and easily replacable and we keep spares that we can send you by request. We can carry out metal tip replacements or canopy end stitching on request for a small charge. Please contact us for details.
