Repairs

"It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary." Richard Whately

Does your bike skip a gear when you change up or down? Do the brakes stick just a little bit? Do the pedals click when they turn, or is that your knees? A lot of people think this is normal behaviour for a bike, but it's not and we love fixing things like this. You see tinkering away repairing bicycles is our idea of a great day at Cullercoats Bike & Kayak. So why not be kind and bring us your bike to service or repair. Here is a list of our service packages and also some prices for common repair jobs.

What about Kayak Repairs?

There is a lot less to go wrong on a kayak, so just pop in or call us for a chat if you would like us to quote you on a kayak repair. We can undertake plastic welding, seal replacement and help source new parts as needed.

The Check N'Set is for those bikes that have been in the shed for a while and just need a little attention.

£22.50

Our Kwik-E service is ideal for bikes that need a little tune up but are still running reasonably well. You might have a Kwik-E just before a long bike ride, or if your bike has been laid up for a few months over winter.

£35

The Full Monty is ideal for heavy users who find their bike is not performing as well as it used to. Having a Full Monty service should leave your bike feeling almost new again.

£60
