Repair drop-off

Drop-off your broken household electricals at the Fixing Factory and have them fixed for you by our skilled volunteers.

Got a broken household electrical item? Bring it along to your local Fixing Factory, where skilled local volunteers will try to repair it as part of their learning and development journey.

This service is a supplement to our free Community Repair sessions each Thursday. Repair Drop-Offs are perfect for you if you don't have time to wait around or can't attend on Thursdays.

Items can be dropped off on Wednesday evenings, or on Saturday early afternoon. 

Book a slot and we'll be there to collect your item.

We'll charge a non-refundable fee to assess and do our best to fix your item (fees vary depending on the item). Not all items can be fixed, but we're a determined bunch and will let you know if your item is beyond repair. We ask for 4-8 weeks to process your item (dependent on the item). If parts are required we will liaise with you about proceeding with the fix and sourcing these. The cost of any parts would be additional to the repair drop off fee.

Every pound raised goes towards supporting our non-profit community repair hub.
