How to repair worn swimsuit elastic?
Has the elastic on your swimsuit loosened or deformed? This is a common problem after repeated exposure to sun, chlorine and washing. But this inconvenience, which affects both the comfort and appearance of the swimsuit, doesn't necessarily mean it has to be replaced. A targeted repair, including replacement of the elastics, can restore your swimsuit to its original fit and appearance. This solution is both economical and durable, extending the life of your swimwear while avoiding contributing to textile waste.
Why Replace Your Swimsuit Elastics?
Elastic bands play an essential role in the structure and support of swimwear. They ensure a comfortable fit and guarantee that the garment stays securely in place, even during your aquatic activities. However, these elastics are subject to considerable stress. Repeated exposure to sunlight, chlorine, salt and machine washing causes wear and tear. A deformed or weakened elastic not only compromises the fit of the swimsuit, but can also alter its overall appearance by causing unsightly creases or sagging.
Replacing elastics rather than buying a new jersey is a wise choice. It allows you to keep a garment you already enjoy, while reducing the cost of buying a new jersey. It's also part of a more sustainable approach, limiting the production of textile waste.
How to replace your swimsuit's elastic?
At TILLI, our expert craftsmen replace swimwear elastics with care and precision. This operation requires knowledge of materials and sewing techniques specific to swimwear fabrics, which are often stretchy and delicate.
Our craftsmen remove damaged elastics using special tools to avoid damaging the material. Once the old elastics have been removed, they select new quality elastics, designed to resist water, chlorine and UV rays. These elastics are carefully inserted and secured in the hems of the jersey, guaranteeing a perfect fit and discreet finish.
Finally, our craftsmen perform a meticulous inspection to ensure that the jersey retains its original appearance and offers optimum support. Whether it's a one-piece swimsuit, a bikini or swim shorts, every step is carried out with precision to meet our customers' expectations.

Extending the Life of Your Swimwear After Repair
Once you've replaced your swimsuit's elastics, it's essential to adopt good care practices to maximize its lifespan. After each use, rinse your swimsuit in cold water to remove chlorine, salt and sunscreen residues. Hand-wash with a mild detergent and avoid wringing to preserve the integrity of the elastic and fabric.
Drying is also a crucial step. Avoid placing your swimsuit directly in the sun or on a heat source, as this could weaken the fibers and elastics. Let it air-dry in a shady spot to maintain its shape and strength.
By following these care tips, you not only extend the life of your swimsuit, but also ensure that the repairs carried out by our craftsmen remain effective over the long term.
