About

Bring along one small item to be repaired for free – see below for a list of items that can be repaired. Or come and have a chat with the skilled Makerspace staff to learn more about what you can do in the Makerspaces.

They will be able to repair the following items:

  • Clean clothing that needs a small mend – a tear, missing button, popped seam
  • Items with small loose screws, e.g. glasses
  • Items that need to be glued to be repaired
  • Clean clothing that has a small stain that you would like to cover with a vinyl decal
  • Belts that need additional holes

Make sure items are clean, clothing is laundered and items are appropriate to bring to a public space. If you are not sure if your item is able to be repaired, bring a photo and they can discuss their larger range of repair solutions at the Makerspace. They cannot repair items that are dangerous, soiled or inappropriate. They are not repairing/soldering electronics at this repair cafe.
