Most cloth nappy makers (WAHMS) offer repair services. You can also try Olga at Bellelis for repairs. You can order your repairs online, get a cost up front, then post off your nappies. Too easy.
We have a buy-back program for cloth nappies that can be repaired, sanitised and placed into our second-hand bundles and cloth nappy library.
