Shrewsbury Repair Cafe

Shrewsbury Repair Café is run by a group of volunteers doing our best to keep items working, in use, and out of the waste system, for as long as possible.

You can find us on the 3rd Saturday of the month in the United Reformed Church Shrewsbury 10am-2pm.

WHAT WE DO…

We do our very best to repair items which are broken so that they can be used for longer. From household items to garden tools and clocks to cameras and lots in between. Scroll down to see a list of items we will try to mend (and a few we are not able to help with).
If we can’t help or think that there is a local business that is better placed to make an effective repair we will do all we can to point you in the right direction.

HOW IT WORKS…

Just bring your item along on the 3rd Saturday morning, tell us what’s wrong with it and we’ll do our best to fix it. We can only accept items we will have time to look at so it’s best to come earlier if you can. The item will need collecting by 2pm the same days as we don’t have any storage. A small donation for our efforts is much appreciated as we have to hire the facilities we use.

CAN YOU HELP US?…

We are currently looking for a technical engineer who might be able to join us to help with computerised items and electric circuitry. If you think you could help out please message us via our Facebook page here Thank you!

SOME THINGS WE CAN AND CAN’T MEND…

We love to have a go at fixing: vacuum cleaners, toasters, kettles, kitchen electronics, lawn mowers, hedge cutters, clocks, mechanical toys, ornaments, jewellery, cameras, zips, clothing and lots more.
We are not able to help with: televisions, mobile phones and do not offer a clothing alteration service.
If we can’t help or think that there is a local business that is better placed to make an effective repair we will do all we can to point you in the right direction.
