A blown roll-top or a pinhole leak doesn’t mean the bag’s dead — most drybags patch clean and go right back on the river.
Torn seams, punctured fabric, a roll-top that won’t seal anymore — if you searched drybag repair or dry sack repair near me, this is the shop. Raft guides and packrafters on the Gunnison and the Dolores send these through regularly. Send a photo, I’ll give you a real quote inside 24 hours.
Blown seams get restitched and sealed so the bag actually holds air and water again, not just patched over.
Worn or torn roll-top edges get rebuilt so the seal actually seals.
Small tears and puncture holes patched clean — doesn’t need to be a whole-bag replacement.
Torn-off buckles and straps get re-anchored to fabric that can actually hold them.
Text a photo of the damage — I can usually tell what’s involved from that alone.
I’ll come back with an honest number and a turnaround date. No estimate fee.
Bring it to Montrose, box it up and ship it, or arrange pickup — free in Montrose, Olathe & Delta, small route fee elsewhere on the Western Slope.
Most jobs turn around in 3–7 days. I’ll tell you the real date when I quote it.
Before-and-after photos from actual jobs that have come through the shop. More go up here as new work wraps.
Most tears and blown seams patch clean. If the fabric itself is degraded — sun-rotted, brittle, falling apart at the touch — I’ll tell you it’s not worth fixing rather than take your money on something that won’t hold.
That’s the whole point of doing it right — sealed seams and patches that actually hold water out, not just fabric glued over a hole.
Most drybag jobs are quick — inside the standard 3–7 day turnaround, often faster if it’s a single patch.
Any brand — NRS, SealLine, whatever you’re running. If it’s welded or sewn fabric, I can usually work on it.
