REpair
The Fix-It Hub is your one stop shop for repair – cost-free, fuss-free circular economy in practice. Got some clothing that needs mending? Broken jewellery? Pram got a wonky wheel? Don’t throw it out, bring it to the Fix-It Hub and our volunteers will do their best to fix it for free. We are committed to fostering a community of repair enthusiasts, and we encourage our customers to stick around during their 20-minute sessions. By doing so, you not only get to witness the magic of your item being revived but also have the opportunity to lend a hand, learn something new, and share your own skills with others. At Fix-It Hub, we believe in the power of fixing, preserving, and promoting a more sustainable way of living. We firmly believe that the journey of repair should be accessible to all. That's why all fixes provided by our dedicated volunteers are free of charge. If a specialised part is needed to complete your fix, please bring it along with you or ask our team where you can purchase this from before a follow-up session.
