Latex Repair Service
Our repair service is available to anyone, for latex garments from any brand.
Torn, Holed, Unglued or Broken Zipper? Expert Latex Clothing Repair
Don’t Throw It Away – Save It! We repair latex rubber clothing from any brand.
We know the feeling. A sudden move, a sharp nail, and your favorite latex catsuit or bodysuit is damaged. It’s heartbreaking, but don’t panic: a torn garment doesn’t mean the end!
What We Fix: a small hole can quickly turn into a bigger tear. Whether it is a broken zipper, a split seam, an unglued panel, or an accidental tear, our workshop can restore it with professional precision.
Brand-Independent Expertise As a dedicated latex manufacturer, we understand the material inside out. That’s why we operate as a brand-independent repair service. Whether you own pieces from Libidex, Simon O, Westward Bound, Atsuko Kudo, or a custom-made item, we handle them all with the same care and routine we use for our own Rubberkiss creations.
We also undertake the repair of chlorinated latex clothing.
Why Choose Professional Repair?
- Value Rescue: Repairing is a fraction of the cost of buying new. Save your valuable latex and extend its life with our skilled service!
- Avoid the Glue Trap: Home repairs with superglue or generic bike patches often do more harm than good, hardening the rubber and creating rigid spots that lead to new tears.
- The Right Technique: Our professional bonding process ensures the repair remains flexible, durable, and ready to wear. While latex scars tell a story, we guarantee the fix will be strong.
Lifetime guarantee and paid repair service
All latex garments manufactured by us are covered by a lifetime repair warranty, as described in our General Terms and Conditions. This means that as long as the material is in a condition that can reasonably be repaired, the labour cost of warranty repairs is free of charge for you.
The prices listed on this page apply to our paid repair service.

Package Pricing If a garment has several holes or tears, we always calculate a combined, discounted package price – we don’t simply multiply the guide prices by the number of damages. It’s always worth sending us photos so we can suggest the most cost-effective solution for your garment.
Here’s how our repair process works
- Get a quote: Send a photo of the garment and the damage via email to info@rubberkiss.com; we’ll provide a quote based on it.
- Send it to us: Send the garment clean and dusted with talcum powder. We inspect it upon arrival.
- Inspection: If the damage is simpler or more serious than expected, we’ll consult with you.
- Processing: Once you accept the quote and pay the fee, the garment enters the repair queue. (Approx. 1-3 weeks).
- Return: The finished work will be safely returned to you.
Please note: The turnaround time for repairs (1-3 weeks) differs from the standard production time stated in our General Terms for custom clothing.
Cleaning
After use, it is advisable to wash clothes as soon as possible and store them properly. Although washing is a fairly simple task, sometimes help is needed.
- Simple washing with silicone treatment: 20 €.
- Pre-repair washing with talcum powder: 25 €
- Disinfectant washing with silicone or talcum powder: 35 €
- Washing heavily soiled clothes: 50 €
- Deodorizing (smoke / storage odor removal): €35 (Due to the properties of latex, it is usually impossible to remove completely – please keep this in mind!)
Additional Charges
- Urgent (Express): +30% (subject to capacity; often possible to wait in person)
- Work on chlorinated latex: +100% (not always possible)
Why Avoid DIY Latex Repairs?
Superglue or bicycle patches are the enemies of latex. They harden the material, making it brittle and prone to new tears. Professional repair uses specialized adhesives that keep the rubber flexible and strong.
Fixed it at home? We can still help.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, we can usually restore it, but please note:
- Extra Work: Removing old glue and residues takes more time.
- Cost: Due to the extra preparation, the final price may be higher than a standard repair.
- Transparency: We will always check the damage and give you an updated estimate before starting.
Don’t risk your expensive gear – leave it to the pros!

- Send the garment clean, dry, and dusted with talcum powder. If not, we’ll pre-wash it according to the cleaning fees above.
