So what is a repair cafe?

The simple answer is a group of volunteers that like to help people and keep things from going in land fill.

How much does it cost?

Our services are without charge. However we do welcome donations towards our costs.

What type of things can you fix?

It may be better saying what we cant fix first. Microwave ovens are very dangerous so we dont work on them. There isnt much else we wont take a look at.

We have fixers that are experienced in textiles, electrical and mechanical things. So if you have a lawn mower with a broken cable or a ripped jacket get in touch. If you have a broken cd player or a device with a broken charging point then we may be able to help.

There are some items that are designed not to be repaired or some items that we dont feel are safe. So there may be times when we advise not to repair. On a typical cafe we do fix a good proportion of things so why not give us a try?

We believe that the repair process should be informative. It’s preferred that the owner stays with the item, as we are trying show people how things are dismantled and repaired. You never know it may inspire you to have a go yourself.
