Hi! Hi! Hello! We’re FLOATIE REPAIR SHOP, a sunny, eco-loving service giving your beloved busted floaties a second chance at river glory.

Floaties are friends, not landfill.

We started Floatie Repair Shop with a simple idea: your busted floatie deserves better than a slow death in a landfill. These inflatable pals have been there for your best river days—floating the Methow, chilling on the Yakima, soaking up sun on the Deschutes. Just because they hit a snag doesn’t mean it’s game over.

So we made a place where floaties get second chances.

At our bright little patch shop in the Pacific Northwest, we clean, fix, and revive well-loved floaties with care and creativity. Choose from our bandaid patches or opt for a custom tattoo patch by local artists—either way, your floatie comes back with more character than ever.

How it works

You place an order for the fix your floatie needs, and we send you a prepaid mailing label. Once your floatie pal reaches us, we clean them up, patch the boo-boos, and send them back looking sharp—ready to float with you again next summer.

It’s easy, fun, and way better for the environment

GOOD FOR THE SUMMER We Bring the Bounce Back. GOOD FOR THE PLANET Keep It Afloat

Small Floatie Diagnostic and Fix

$85.00

For floaties smaller than a person — think pool rings, kiddie float animals, inflatable drink holders, or your beloved flamingo sidekick.
We’ll clean 'em up, patch 'em with care (bandaid or tattoo-style), and send 'em back river-ready.
Approx. size: up to 3 feet (36") in length or width when fully inflated.
Small but mighty, just like your summer vibe.

Medium Floatie Diagnostic and Fix

$100.00

For floaties about the same size as a person — like single-person loungers, full-size tubes, or ride-on unicorns that carry one happy human.
Your trusty floatie will be deep-cleaned, artistically patched, and returned looking fresh.
Approx. size: between 3 and 6 feet (36"–72") in length or width when inflated.
Big floatie energy, expertly restored.

Large Floatie Diagnostic and Fix

For floaties larger than a person — giant flamingos, double loungers, party rafts, or that floating island you somehow got home.
We’ll give it the VIP treatment: a full clean, a custom patch, and a second life.
Approx. size: over 6 feet (72"+) in length or width.
The bigger the floatie, the bigger the comeback.

Boston Valve Upgrade

$20.00

Give your floatie a breath of fresh air—literally.
Upgrade your existing valve to a Boston valve, the gold standard for quicker, easier inflating and deflating. Whether your original valve is busted, slow, or just annoying, we’ll swap it out with a sleek, new Boston-style valve so you can spend less time puffing and more time floating.

Perfect for larger floaties or anyone tired of huffing and puffing.
One-way inflation, fast deflation, max chill.

Includes full installation + airtight seal testing.

How it Works

Order the right size fix for your floatie friend and we will give you a mailing label you can use to ship your pal to us. We'll clean him up and get him looking sharp with one of our custom artist tattoo patches or a bandaid patch. Your friend will be back on the river with you by next summer and you'll both be environmental heroes with a great story!

Floaties R Ur Friends

Your floatie was with you when you floated the Methow or Yakima for the first time. The Deschutes. The Colorado. It's been with you through thick and thin, but this summer you hit a snag.

Why you wanna go and toss your floatie away like yesterday's news? Your floatie doesn't deserve to spend the rest of its days clogging up a landfill! Fix yo floatie with one of our new bandaid or tat patches and get him cleaned up too while you're at it... or just send him to us and we'll do it!

Why we do it

Most floaties are made from PVC, a plastic that can take thousands of years to break down in a landfill. And every year, plastic waste kills over 100 million marine animals. That’s why we’re on a mission to keep inflatables out of landfills and in the water—where they belong.

By choosing repair over replacement, you’re not just saving a floatie—you’re helping reduce waste, support small artists, and protect the rivers and oceans we all love. That’s a win-win-win.

Floaties are commonly made from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. Under sunlight, these plastics will degrade in just under 100 years depending on the thickness of the plastic used, but in landfills, it will take thousands of years.

100 million marine animals die each year from plastic waste. Marine plastic pollution is found in 100% of turtles, 59% of whales, and 36% of seals in recent studies
