Ski and snowboard servicing is the routine maintenance that keeps your equipment safe, predictable and fast.
A full service resets the base, sharpens and bevels the edges, repairs any damage, and works fresh wax deep into the base so it glides and protects for longer.
Every pair of skis tells us something when it comes into the workshop: dull edges after a week on hard-packed pistes, a dry white base from man-made snow, a gouge from a rock hidden under fresh snow. Left alone, small problems grow. Dry bases slow down, damaged edges rust, and deep gouges can let water into the core.
A service at The Skiers Lounge typically covers:
We’ve been servicing skis and snowboards for over 20 years, and we’ll always explain what we’ve done and why. If a repair isn’t worth the cost, we’ll tell you.
A properly waxed base runs faster and more evenly, from icy mornings to slushy afternoons. Tell us where and when you’re skiing and we’ll match the wax to the conditions.
Sharp, correctly bevelled edges bite on ice and hold through the turn. We detune tips and tails so the ski feels predictable, then run a 3-step quality check.
Regular servicing lets us spot deeper gouges, base burn, edge damage and binding problems early, before they become expensive.
Skis that behave the same way every turn let you relax and ski better, with less effort by the end of the day.
Snowboarders: please remove your bindings before dropping off. If you’re unsure how, we’ll show you, and removal and marking up your stance costs £5.
Boards shouldn’t be stored with bindings on, as this can pull the base out of shape under the binding and cost you glide.
Every service is carried out by hand in our Horsham workshop. Not sure which level you need? Bring your skis or board in and we’ll recommend one before we start.

Binding test add-on: +£20 with any service.
We never use brush machine waxing systems. Every wax is applied by hand using premium Holmenkol products.
Prices exclude inserts, screws and Vibra-Tite.
Every mount includes a binding test report worth £30. We were the first shop in the UK to use an AI-assisted ski binding drilling machine for precise, repeatable mounting.
Please bring at least one boot for binding mounting. For touring bindings a boot is essential.
Glue is £19 to £25. New mesh netting recommended (around £15).
Our WaxFuture infra-red system works wax evenly and deeply into the base instead of leaving it sitting on the surface.
Better saturation means the wax lasts longer on snow. Infra-red waxing is now included in every Bronze, Silver and Gold service. See the machine at work in the films below.
Short films from the bench, so you can see what each service actually involves rather than read about it.
No appointment needed. Come in during opening hours or use our 24/7 lockers.
A technician checks your skis or board, recommends a service and agrees any major repairs with you before starting.
All work is done on site by our own team.
We’ll let you know when they’re ready. Please collect within 7 working days.
A visual check can’t tell you whether a binding still releases at the right setting. Our Wintersteiger machine, one of only two active in the UK, measures the release of the toe and heel and gives you a printed report.
If a binding fails, we’ll talk you through your options and credit the test fee against new bindings or skis.
Please bring one ski boot with your skis for any binding test or DIN setting.
Most recreational skiers benefit from a full service once a season, ideally before your trip so edges and wax are fresh. If you ski more than two weeks a year, or mostly on hard or artificial snow, a mid-season edge and wax is worth doing.
Yes. Most new skis leave the factory with only a thin coat of wax. Our Wax Only service prepares the base properly before its first day.
Services start at £40 for Bronze, £65 for Silver and £95 for Gold. Snowboards are the same price.
Bronze for skis in good condition, Silver if there’s base damage up to 30cm, and Gold if a patch or epoxy repair is needed. If you’re not sure, bring them in and we’ll advise.
Current turnaround is shown at the top of the page, and updated regularly as it changes with demand.
