Wax jacket cleaning, re-waxing, repairs and restoration
Bring your dirty, smelly or tired wax jacket back to a clean, wearable and properly reproofed condition. We clean inside and outside, remove odours and mould, carry out specialist repairs and hand-finish the wax.
A specialist service for jackets most cleaners cannot clean
Waxed cotton needs a very different approach from ordinary dry cleaning. Our process is designed for garments that are dirty, mouldy, smelly, faded, over-waxed, under-waxed or damaged.
Cleaned before re-waxing
Your jacket is cleaned before wax is applied, helping remove dirt, stale odours and contamination rather than sealing them in.
Proper repairs and alterations
We repair cuffs, linings, tears, hems and worn areas using specialist knowledge and, where possible, suitable matching waxed cotton.
Hand-applied wax finishes
Choose from different wax finishes depending on the garment and how you use it, from lighter everyday finishes to heavier outdoor options.

Wax jacket cleaning FAQs
How much does wax jacket cleaning and re-waxing cost?
Clean and re-wax pricing starts from £55 for many standard jackets. The full cost depends on garment length, size, wax finish, repairs, accessories and postage.
Do you clean the inside of the jacket?
Yes. The service is designed to clean the inside and outside before re-waxing, rather than just applying wax over the existing dirt.
Can you repair my wax jacket?
Yes. We carry out specialist repairs and alterations. For repairs, photographs can help with a rough estimate, but accurate pricing is normally confirmed after inspection.
Will the jacket look brand new?
No wax jacket restoration can honestly guarantee “brand new”. The aim is to make the garment clean, wearable, better protected and restored as well as possible without damaging the fabric.
How long will it take?
Allow around four weeks in many cases. More complex repairs, very dirty garments or specialist restoration may take longer.
