Have you found yourself frustrated with a broken suitcase just days before travel? Or maybe you’ve got a favourite luggage bag that's been gathering dust because of damaged wheels, a stuck zipper, or a jammed handle?

If you're looking for suitcase repair services in Nairobi, you’re in the right place.

At GearFix Ke, we specialize in affordable, fast, and reliable suitcase repairs, offering convenient house call services for select repairs and in-shop service for more extensive fixes. Whether you’re dealing with a simple wheel issue or a cracked suitcase shell, we’ve got you covered.

Why Repair a Suitcase Instead of Buying a New One?

Repairing your suitcase offers several benefits:

• Cost-effective: A repair typically costs far less than buying new luggage.

• Eco-conscious: Repairs reduce waste and help the planet.

• Convenience: Fixing a broken handle or replacing worn wheels is faster than shopping for new gear.

• Preserve quality: Older bags are often sturdier than today’s low-budget options.

So if you’re Googling phrases like “luggage repair in Nairobi” or “suitcase repair near me”, this blog post is for you — and we’re the team to call.

Our Most Requested Suitcase Repairs in Nairobi

We handle nearly every common suitcase problem, from jammed handles to broken zippers. Below are some of the most frequent issues Nairobi travellers and residents call us about:

1. Suitcase Wheel Replacement in Nairobi

Are your suitcase wheels squeaky, wobbly, or completely jammed?

We offer quick and efficient suitcase wheel repair services across Nairobi, and it’s one of the few services we do via house calls.

We carry a wide variety of replacement wheels and fittings that work with most suitcase brands sold in Kenya. Whether you need to replace broken wheels on your suitcase or get help with worn-out luggage rollers, we’ll get your bag gliding smoothly again.

We come to your home, office, or hotel to make it even easier — especially if your bag is too hard to move.

2. Zipper Repair for Suitcases and Travel Bags

There’s nothing worse than a suitcase that won’t zip shut when you’re packing for a trip. We’ve helped countless clients with suitcase zipper repair in Nairobi, whether the slider is broken, the zipper teeth are misaligned, or the entire zip needs replacing.

Our technicians can either repair or install a new zipper, depending on the extent of the damage. If your luggage zip is stuck or won’t close properly, let us fix it before your next journey.

3. Telescopic Handle Repair and Replacement

If your suitcase handle is stuck, loose, or won't retract, we can help. We offer luggage handle repair in Nairobi, replacing damaged or jammed telescopic systems with functional new ones.

Some clients experience rattling handles or handles that won’t lock in place — both issues we fix often. We can also perform in-home adjustments for this service if it’s a minor fix.

4. Cracked or Torn Suitcase Body Repairs

Whether your suitcase is made from a hard shell or soft fabric, physical damage can make it unusable. We regularly repair:

• Cracked hard-case luggage

• Torn soft fabric suitcases

• Loose panels or broken plastic corners

• Ripped seams and handles pulling through the case

Instead of replacing your whole bag, let us reinforce it. Our workshop is equipped for deep repairs, including riveting, patching, and plastic bonding.
