Is there a charge?

There is no fixed charge but we ask for a voluntary donation to help cover the costs of running the events.

How long will it take and can I leave items for collection later?

It is difficult to to say how long each fix will take. We operate a ‘triage’ system where each item is assessed as it arrives. That should give some idea about how long it will take to fix. It also depends on the type of item you bring and how busy we are. Front of house staff will update the progress of your repair. There is tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits available so you can sit, have a chat and relax.


We would love to hear from anyone interested in joining our team of repairers; if you can do any one or more of the following: garment repairs, electrical repairs, electronics, mobile phones, mechanical repairs, bikes. For more information please contact: eyamrepaircafe (at) btinternet.com
