Why Professional Garment Repairs Matter
Repairable garments are often replaced unnecessarily, wasting thousands in capital budget.
The average manufacturer repair cost is $75 per garment, and many facilities lack the time or resources to manage repairs themselves. As a result, garments with broken buckles, worn Velcro, or torn seams are simply discarded and replaced. Professional exterior fabric repair services extend garment life by addressing damage before it worsens, delaying replacement needs and maximizing return on expensive protective equipment investments.
Common Exterior Issues We Repair:
- Broken buckles and straps
- Worn Velcro closures
- Torn seams and frayed binding
Complimentary Exterior Fabric Repairs
Every garment brought in for cleaning is assessed for exterior fabric damage that can be mended to extend lifespan. Our team repairs seams, replaces worn Velcro, and fixes broken closures at no additional cost while the garment is in our facility for service.
What Gets Repaired:
- Seam restoration and mending
- Velcro replacement
- Buckle and strap repair
When Garments Are Returned:
Your aprons come back with all exterior fabric repairs completed and identification tags sewn in for easy scanning and tracking. Each garment can be scanned to check the most recent inspection results and locate service history in RADCOMPLY, making inventory management and audit preparation effortless while extending equipment life.
Repairs are completed automatically during routine cleaning service with no additional coordination required.
During service, every garment undergoes inspection in our repair assessment area. Our technicians test closures—including the so-called “Buckle Bros” team—by hand, because damage isn’t always visible until you try it. Any repairable cosmetic issues are professionally mended, ID tags are sewn in for easy tracking, and all updates are documented in RadComply.

We examine each garment for exterior damage and check for any repair notes submitted in RadComply.

Why Replace When You Can Repair?
Lead Garment Cleaning & Care: What Every Hospital Needs to Know
Clean Those Leads
Hospital-owned lead garments require professional deep cleaning, not just surface wipes. RCS follows a proven two-step cleaning and disinfection process that meets AORN, The Joint Commission, and CDC standards to eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Save Time
RCS customers save an average of 13 minutes per garment by eliminating the need for staff to perform manual X-ray scans, track inventory spreadsheets, and manage repair schedules. Our service frees your radiology techs and clinical staff to focus on patient care instead of garment management.
84% Of Lead Vest Are Contaminated
A Wayne State University study found that 84% of lead aprons tested positive for Ringworm and Staphylococcus aureus, with 12% colonized by MRSA. Contaminated protective equipment puts both healthcare workers and patients at risk of infection.
Wipes Aren’t Enough
Surface wipes alone are clinically proven ineffective for properly sanitizing lead garments. True sanitization requires a two-step process: friction-based cleaning followed by proper sanitization using bactericidal, viricidal, fungicidal, and sporicidal solutions.
