    The zip broke, or came off the suit entirely?

    You could always do it yourself if you're worried about a botch job from someone else. Get some Bostik 2402 from a marine shop. Takes a fair bit of time if you haven't done it before, but the option is there.

    the teeth are fine on it, it the zipper came off on one side of the zip.

    He's the only one I'd recommend for out of warranty repairs.

    Brian is really good. Highly recommend. Although their website says they won't do wetsuit zips. Worth giving him a shout.
