Restoring Character, One Stitch at a Time

At The Mascot Lab, we believe a mascot is more than a costume, it’s a character with a story. Whether it’s walking out onto the pitch, performing in a school assembly, or meeting crowds at live events, these suits are icons of joy, humour, and connection. But they don’t stay pristine forever.

That’s where we come in.

Based in Newhaven, East Sussex, The Mascot Lab specialises in professional mascot and character costume restoration — from deep-cleaning and structural repairs to full redesigns and bespoke accessories.

Before & after: We don’t just clean, we carefully revive every element to honour the character and craftsmanship.

🧽 Restorations that Bring Characters Back to Life

Over time, even the most beloved mascots start to show signs of wear — scuffed feet, worn fur, missing elements. Our restoration service is designed to bring your costume back to life without losing its character. We handle everything from reshaping foam and replacing soles to carefully replacing threadbare fabric and deep-cleaning delicate materials.

Each suit is treated like a legacy - we work by hand, with attention to every detail.

🎨 Redesigns & Accessories That Reignite Magic

Sometimes a costume needs more than repair — it needs a refresh. Whether your mascot needs a full redesign or just a new seasonal outfit (Santa suits, sports kits, event props), The Character Works — our creative studio — handles bespoke updates with charm and precision.

We’ve made everything from shoes to head rebuilds to bespoke add-ons for clubs and community events.

🚚 Local Service, National Vision

Based in East Sussex, we currently offer collection and delivery for clients across Brighton and the South - ideal for keeping your character in top condition between seasons or before a big event.

We also offer a nationwide courier service to bring The Mascot Lab to clubs, schools, and organisations across the UK. Every project starts with a tailored quote - no guesswork, no assumptions - just the right solution for your costume’s condition and your team’s needs.
