Paraglider repairs
Keep your paraglider in perfect flying condition thanks to the complete inspection and repair service we offer at NK Service, the official Niviuk service centre.
Can I repair my paraglider myself?
It is not recommended. Any repairs, adjustments, or modifications to a paraglider should only be carried out by qualified and certified technicians. Paraglider wings, lines, and fabrics are engineered with very precise tolerances, and attempting repairs without the proper tools, training, or materials can compromise the safety, performance, and durability of the equipment.
DIY repairs may lead to:
- Loss of stability or control in flight
- Premature wear or damage to the fabric or lines
- Increased risk of accidents due to structural failure
- Invalidation of warranties or certifications
For these reasons, we strongly recommend taking your paraglider to a specialized service center where professionals use approved materials, dedicated equipment, and validated safety procedures.
If I repair my glider myself, is it still under warranty?
Servicing and repairing your flying equipment at NK Service is essential to maintain your product warranty. As the official workshop, we guarantee that all repairs are carried out in accordance with established standards.
The equipment and components are covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defect. The warranty does not cover misuse of the equipment. Any modifications to the wing or its components not made by NK Service invalidate the warranty. If you notice any defects on your paraglider, please contact us immediately for a thorough inspection.It is recommended that the emergency parachute be checked periodically every 6 months, once or twice a year. In addition, after each deployment, it is advisable to carry out an additional check to ensure correct operation.
What is the repair procedure at NK Service?
The repair process at NK Service is designed to be transparent, efficient, and fully traceable. Here’s how it works:
1. Online service request
The customer initiates the repair by placing an online order and selecting the required services. Once the order is confirmed, the customer ships the glider to our service centre.
2. Comprehensive inspection
When the paraglider arrives, our technicians perform a thorough inspection to identify the reported issue as well as any additional wear, damage, or potential safety concerns.
3. Repair proposal & quotation
After the assessment, we provide the customer with a detailed repair report, including a breakdown of the work needed and the corresponding costs. The customer then decides whether to proceed.
4. Approval & repair execution
Once the customer approves the quotation, our certified team carries out all repairs using approved materials and procedures.
5. Return of the glider
When the work is completed, the paraglider is shipped back to the customer (shipping costs borne by the customer), fully repaired and in optimal flying condition.
How long does a glider repair take?
The repair time depends on several factors, including the type of damage, the complexity of the repair, and the current workload of our workshop.
For most standard repairs, the estimated turnaround time is 10–15 working days from the moment we receive your wing until it is shipped back to you.
Please note that this timeframe is an approximation. Delivery dates may vary due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping delays, exceptional damage, or material availability.
If you need your equipment urgently, feel free to contact us—we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible.
How much does NK Service cost?
The cost of any service at NK Service depends on the type of repair, the materials required, and the complexity of the work. Because each case is different, we do not apply a fixed price.
Once your paraglider has been inspected, we will provide you with a detailed, itemized quotation covering all necessary repairs. The work will only begin after you have reviewed and accepted the quotation.
This ensures full transparency and allows you to approve the final cost before any service is performed.
