Burwood Repair Hub

Our wonderful volunteers will try to fix anything you can carry in - please check the list below. Sit with them and learn as they try to repair your item - free of charge!. PLEASE NOTE: All items must be clean. We can't sharpen saws or serrated knives or weld and we don't repair underwear, bicycles, watches, cameras, computers, televisions, microwaves, electronics or any device that stores data. To ensure we can provide the best service and experience for all, it’s essential to book your 30 minute repair session in advance. We can repair one item per time slot. To help make sure everyone has a chance to book, we kindly ask that you limit your booking to two timeslots per family - at different times. If a specialised part is needed to complete your repair, please bring it along with you. WHAT WE FIX: Furniture/Miscellaneous: chairs, shoes, toys - we'll try to fix any small item you can carry in. Clothing repair (machine): minor tears, elastic, seams, hems etc. Electrical (small appliances): toasters, lamps, coffee machines, blenders etc. Jewellery: costume jewellery only. This is a free community initiative run by volunteers. We do our best to help people repair items and learn new skills. Because repairs are provided without charge, and often by non‑professionals we are not liable for any loss or damage resulting directly or indirectly from instructions, repairs, or suggestions given or acts done or not done in relation to the items you have brought to the Repair Hub.
