How is the zip broken ?

You may well probably be able to fix it yourself with a pair of pliers and a gentle touch....

Look at the video on u tube 'mending a broken zip' or similar.

Last season I had an experience with a broken zip - watched the video, sorted it (easily) myself and had no expense and a wonderfully working zip.
