Our mission is simple: keep the good stuff going.

Croeso! Welcome to Snowdonia Gear Repair, we’re glad you’re here.

We are adventurers on the salty sea, muddy mountain tracks, and cracked rock faces. Motivated by a love of gear and care for our planet, we deliver high quality repairs that extend the lifespan of your gear. We know how important it is that outdoor gear works properly. We see proof every day that rips and broken zips don’t need to signal the end for a piece of beloved kit!

Our Story

 Our journey started with a ripped jacket on a family visit to Llanberis in 2021. Rosanna realised that her background in engineering and her love of sewing provided the perfect ingredients for a repair shop.

Jos, who had grown up in the area, was immediately on board. After a few conversations with family and friends, the demand for the service became clear. Fast forward to 2025, and we've learnt more about tape than we care to imagine, carried multiple industrial machines up and down stairs, built out our workshop in Felinheli, and welcomed Ceri, Sadie and Hannah to the team.
