What to Expect
When you arrive at a Repair Café event, you'll be welcomed by our team. You'll work alongside a volunteer repairer who will help you fix your item. This is a collaborative process - you'll learn repair skills while getting your item fixed!
We're also happy to give advice on items, even if you're not asking us to repair them. Whether you need help identifying a problem, finding the right spare part, or understanding how something works, our volunteers are here to help!
Please note that we cannot guarantee every item can be fixed, but we'll do our best. We don't do complex repairs - we don't have time for complex repairs, and it's not fair on businesses that do. We focus on simpler repairs that can be completed during our sessions. We don't carry spare parts - if a spare part is needed, you'll need to order it yourself. We'll help ensure you get the right part. Some items may also require professional repair services.
