This nice weather won't last for long, so I need to get the feet replaced on my Typhoon drysuit. 
Can anyone recommend a repairer in the Reading / Oxford type area?
 
Thanks

It is possible to do it yourself if you order the feet and the glue. It is fiddly and takes a bit of time to set up, but not particularly difficult.

I turn everything inside out, and pad out the leg with a childs beach bucket and rolls of newspaper to get it tight/smooth. Position the 'sock' exactly, then roll back to expose the 2 areas for gluing. Apply glue, then roll into place.

Then curse because you've got a small fold. Quickly unroll and adjust!

Mine went to purple sails but thats not in Oxford or Reading!  Had every seal replaced, reasonable cost and very well done

Ihave found Typhoon themselves excellent. Very good service and quick return. Even replaced the whole dry suit when they thought the material was faulty.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Cheers for the info mags, but I've already tried and failed to do my own repair - didn't go particulary well it has to be said Ouch
 
Might just contact Typhoon directly and get it sent up there
