What to bring?
One item per person unless we have extra time to squeeze in another. We have basic tools and supplies, but if your repair needs something special you'll need to bring it along.
- Clothing - no alterations
- Homewares
- Bikes
- Tools
- Toys
- Garden equipment
- Wooden items or small furniture
- Battery operated devices (anything that plugs in will need to wait until we have additional safety measures in place)
How it works
You will sit with the repairer while they are fixing your item so you can get some tips for fixing things yourself at home.
Repairs are free as the repairers volunteer their time. We appreciate donations to help pay for supplies. Please bring a gold coin or request how much you would like to donate and tap your card at the front desk on the day.
If the item can't be repaired by our volunteers, we will let you know options for professional repairs or how to recycle or dispose of the item.
Bookings aren't compulsory, but they help us make sure we have the right repairer for your item available on the day.
