Regular servicing is one of the best ways to keep your sewing machine running smoothly and sewing beautifully. At Clothkits, we offer professional servicing and repairs for sewing machines, overlockers and coverstitch machines of all makes and models. Servicing is carried out by our trusted and highly experienced Sewing Machine Man, with care and attention to detail you can rely on.
Simply drop your machine into our Chichester shop Monday to Saturday. In most cases, servicing is completed within a week, meaning minimal downtime and a machine that feels a joy to sew with again. Whether your machine needs a routine clean and tune-up or isn’t behaving quite as it should, a thorough service will often resolve common issues such as skipped stitches, tension problems or unusual noises.
A standard sewing machine service costs £85, with payment taken upon collection. Most machines are restored to full working order through servicing alone, but if any replacement parts are required these will be charged separately. We’ll always contact you to explain what’s needed and confirm costs before ordering any parts.
Why service your sewing machine?
Even a well-looked-after sewing machine benefits from regular servicing. Lint, dust and thread fibres naturally build up over time, affecting stitch quality and performance. A professional service helps to keep everything running smoothly, extends the life of your machine, and ensures it’s working at its best for your projects - whether you sew occasionally or every day.
Servicing also helps catch small issues early, before they turn into bigger (and more costly) problems, giving you peace of mind and a more enjoyable sewing experience.
