Maintaining your ski or snowboard gear isn't just about performance; it's a commitment to safety and environmental responsibility. Regular servicing prolongs equipment life, reducing waste and consumption. Plus, it enhances on-snow performance, ensuring you make the most of every mountain moment. Well-maintained gear is safer, minimising the risk of wear and tear-related mishaps, so your equipment looks after you just as well as you look after it.

We have on-site workshops at five of our Snow+Rock stores:

• Bristol
• Hemel Hempstead
• Chill Factore (Manchester)
• Port Solent

Servicing and repairs can take up to 14 days, so make sure you give yourself enough time for your gear to be returned to you before heading to the mountains. 

Please note - if there's a large amount of damage or special work required, we reserve the right to adjust these prices accordingly.

Plus, if you require additional or more extensive repairs including:

- Top sheet damage

- Boot buckles + small repairs

Please bring your gear to store and speak to an in-store gear specialist. 

The best time of the year: the start of the ski season. Now's the time to get your skis or board out from storage and get them ready for the slopes.

If the edges are dull or even rusty, and the base is white or dry, then we recommend a Full Service to repair any damage, structure your equipment for optimum glide, and sharpen and polish those edges.

If there's no damage to your equipment, we'd recommend a Standard Service to sharpen and polish the edges with a hot wax. If your equipment is still sharp and rust-free, just a hot hand wax will be enough to get it ready for the season.

You're back from your first trip of the season - but it won't be the last. We recommend at least getting your skis or board re-waxed to replenish the moisture, but you should also consider a Standard Service to smooth out any nicks and restore your equipment's grip. If your gear has suffered any damage, a Full Service is the best option to fully restore it.

After the last snow of the season has melted, it's time to prepare your skis or board for the summer with a storage wax. This is a thick layer of wax which locks moisture into the base and reduces the risk of oxidisation or rust, and we think it's the best thing you can do for your pride and joy. You may want to combine the storage wax with a Full Service, so that at the start of the season you just need to have your skis or board scraped and polished in store, or you can wait until the start of the season, so they're freshly serviced ready for the slopes.
