What we repair

Five kinds of equipment, one shop.

Most of our work comes from rental operators who need a unit back on the schedule. We also repair for churches, schools, campgrounds, daycares and anyone else running commercial-grade inflatables or tents.

Bounce house repair

Bounce houses take the hardest, most repetitive abuse of anything in your inventory, and they almost always fail in the same places: the corner seams, the internal baffles that hold the walls upright, the netting, and the entry step.

We re-sew split seams on industrial walking-foot machines with UV-rated thread, rebuild collapsed baffles from the inside, replace blown-out mesh and netting panels, and repair or replace zippers and Velcro closures. If a wall has gone soft or the unit won’t hold its shape at full pressure, the cause is usually internal — and that’s the repair most shops skip.

Inflatable water slide repair

Water slides fail differently than dry units. Constant water exposure breaks down the slide liner, wears through the landing area, and rots stitching faster than anything else in your fleet. Pool walls split at the seam, and the climbing side takes a beating from wet feet.

We replace worn and torn slide liners, repair splash pool seams and walls, rebuild climbing walls and steps, and repair the drain and hose fittings. Where water is the cause, we use materials and thread rated for it, so the repair doesn’t fail again in the middle of the season.

Obstacle course & interactive game repair

Obstacle courses are the most expensive units to replace and the most time-consuming to repair, which is exactly why they’re worth repairing. Pop-ups, squeeze walls, crawl tubes and the transitions between sections all take concentrated stress, and a long course has far more seam footage than a bounce house.

We repair torn pop-up obstacles, split tunnel and crawl sections, blown transition seams, damaged rock walls and slide ends. Same for interactive games — jousting platforms, bungee runs, wrecking balls, Foam Daddy equipment and the inflatable arenas they sit in.

Tent repair

The same industrial machines and vinyl skills that fix an inflatable fix a tent. Frame tents, pole tents, pop-up canopies and sidewalls all fail at predictable points: the stress patches at the poles, the keder edge, the grommets and the seams between panels.

We repair rips and storm damage in tent tops, re-sew failed seams, replace stress patches and reinforce corners, repair or replace keder edging and rope, replace grommets and D-rings, and patch or re-panel sidewalls and windows. If a section is beyond repair, we can replace just that panel instead of the whole top.

Tent tops · Sidewalls · Windows · Keder edge · Stress patches · Grommets · Storm damage

Fan tubes, tie-downs & hardware

The small stuff that takes a unit out of service just as fast as a big tear. Ripped blower tubes and blower connections, torn-out D-rings and tie-down straps, failed anchor points, broken zippers, deflation flaps and safety signage.

These are usually quick turnarounds, and they’re worth catching early — a tie-down that pulls free at an event is a safety problem before it’s a repair bill.

Common repairs

If it’s vinyl and it holds air, bring it in.

  • Busted seams

    Split thread lines and blown-out stitching, re-sewn on industrial machines so the repair holds under pressure instead of opening up on the next setup.

  • Baffle repair

    Internal baffles are what give a unit its shape. When one lets go, the inflatable bulges, sags or won’t stand up right. We go inside and rebuild it.

  • Slide liners & steps

    The surfaces that take the most abuse. Worn liners, torn step treads and split climbing walls replaced or reinforced.

  • Tears, holes & patches

    Punctures, drag damage and cuts in the vinyl, patched with matched material so the repair carries load instead of peeling at the edges.

  • Netting, mesh & windows

    Torn safety mesh, blown-out netting panels and clouded or split tent windows replaced with new material.

  • Tie-downs, fan tubes & more

    Ripped D-rings and anchor points, torn blower tubes, failed zippers and grommets. If it came off the unit, it can go back on.

How it works

Four steps, no mystery.

  1. 1

    Tell us what happened

    Call or send the form. A couple of photos and the make of the unit is usually all we need to tell you what we’re looking at.

  2. 2

    Drop off, or we come to you

    Bring it to the shop in New Hill and pick it back up when it’s done. If hauling it isn’t practical, we can come to you.

  3. 3

    We find the source

    A seam rarely fails for no reason. We trace it back to what caused it so you’re not sending the same unit back in a month.

  4. 4

    Back to making money

    You get the unit back rentable, with the repair explained so you know exactly what was done and what to watch.

Why operators use us

Local to Central NC

Shop in New Hill, minutes from Raleigh, Cary and Apex. No crating a bounce house and shipping it across the country.

Drop off or mobile

Work around your rental calendar. Drop off and pick up on your schedule, or have us come out when the unit can’t travel.

Cause, not symptom

Anyone can glue a patch on a hole. We look at why it tore there and repair it so the fix outlasts the next season.

We run this equipment too

We’ve been in commercial inflatables for years. We know what a unit goes through on a Saturday, and we repair it accordingly.

Common questions

Answers before you call.

How much does inflatable repair cost?

It depends entirely on what failed and how far it spread. A torn blower tube or a pulled D-ring is a small job. A rebuilt baffle or a full slide liner replacement is a bigger one. Send a couple of photos and tell us the make and size of the unit, and we’ll give you a straight number before any work starts. In nearly every case, repairing a commercial unit costs a fraction of replacing it.

How long will my inflatable be in the shop?

Small repairs often turn around quickly. Larger jobs — baffle rebuilds, liner replacements, long obstacle-course seams — take longer, and the busy season affects the queue. Tell us the date you need it back for and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it before you drop it off.

Do you repair inflatables you didn’t sell?

Yes. We repair commercial inflatables from any manufacturer, no matter where you bought them. Most of what comes through the shop is equipment we had nothing to do with originally.

Can you match my vinyl color?

We stock a range of commercial-grade vinyl and match as closely as we can. Exact matches aren’t always possible on older or faded units, and on an interior repair it usually doesn’t matter. On a visible exterior panel, we’ll show you the match before we commit to it.

Do you come to me, or do I bring the unit to you?

Either. Most customers drop off at the shop in New Hill and pick up when the repair is done, which is the fastest and least expensive option. When a unit is too large to move, or you have several units at one location, we can come to you. Call and we’ll work out which makes sense.

Do you repair tents as well as inflatables?

Yes. Frame tents, pole tents, pop-up canopies, sidewalls and windows. Tent tops and inflatables are both heavy vinyl on industrial machines, so it’s the same equipment and the same skill set. We handle storm damage, seam failures, stress patches, keder edging and grommets, and we can replace a single damaged panel rather than the whole top.

Is my unit too far gone to repair?

Less often than people expect. Vinyl that’s structurally sound can take a lot of repair. What actually ends a unit is widespread UV breakdown — when the material itself has gone brittle and tears next to every repair you make. Send photos and we’ll tell you straight if it isn’t worth your money, rather than take the job and hand you back something that fails again.

Do you work on residential bounce houses?

Our shop is set up for commercial-grade equipment. Consumer backyard inflatables are usually made from thin sheet material that doesn’t hold a stitched repair, so repairing them often isn’t economical. Call and describe what you have and we’ll be honest about whether it’s worth bringing in.

What should I send you when I request a quote?

Photos of the damage — one close up and one far enough back to show where on the unit it is. The manufacturer and model if you know it, the size of the unit, and whether it’s a wet or dry unit. If you have a date you need it back by, tell us that up front.
