HOW WE CAN HELP

WHAT WE REPAIR

We’ll have a go at repairing almost any domestic items that can be brought to the site. Here are some examples:

Electrical items with mechanical or circuit board failure such as a toaster, a heater or a kettle;

Clothes repairs such as a tear or replacing a zip;

Fitting a new handle to garden tools – or sharpening them;

Gluing and soldering pots and pans or ornaments;

Fitting a new plug or a bulb holder to a lamp;

Fixing broken toys;

Replacing the quartz mechanism on a clock;

Bicycle repairs (Must be booked in advance);

And much more!

Sometimes, we’ll ask you to bring a part with you. Take a look at our booking form or get in touch before you come along.

We’re not TV’s Repair Shop; we repair rather than restore items.

WHAT WE CAN’T REPAIR

‘White goods” such as:

Fridges;

Freezers;

Washing Machines;

Microwave ovens;

Dishwashers;

Cookers (including Ovens, hobs, ranges and stoves);

Air Conditioners.

Contact us if you’re in any doubt.

Here are some of the comments we've received already.

 

We have been to the repair café a few times and love its buzzy, purposeful and friendly atmosphere. We have been so impressed by the results, tools and scissors sharpened and help with finding the best and most cost effective way of fixing a food processor. I would recommend anyone to take their broken or damaged articles along to see what can be done with them.

The repair cafe has been invaluable to me!
I have been able to avail of such varied skills:
New handles have been beautifully crafted on to my pressure cooker pot which I can now use again.
My grandchildren's wooden train had a missing part which was beautifully recrafted.
I needed help and support at various times with my computer which was freely given, bringing peace of mind.
For me the repair cafe has been a treasure trove of skills and kindness within this welcoming community of Ashburton
