About the group
Baughurst Repair Cafe
Don't Bin It, Repair It !
Baughurst Repair Cafe is based at Heath End Village Hall, Baughurst (RG26 5LU). Our events are on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 10am till 1pm.
Situated where we are, we are easily accessible by residents who live in Baughurst, Tadley and the surrounding villages and hamlets in North Hampshire and West Berkshire. From as far as Mortimer to the east , Aldermaston / Woolhampton to the north, Crookham Common to the west and Ramsdell / Monk Sherborne to the south, we are happy to help you reuse your items.
If you cannot attend your local repair cafe for whatever reason, come to ours if it suits you. We'd be delighted to repair your items.
We have a strong team of volunteers who can repair
- Electrical / Electronics
- Textiles / Soft Toy
- Bicycles
- IT Equipment
- Jewellery
- Wooden Furniture
We can also Sharpen Household Tools and we can provide Mobile Phone Advice and Troubleshoot problems.
Where we cannot repair an item, we will do our best to suggest a local company who may be able to help you.

Restart Party Do’s and Don’ts
DO
- Check if your device is still within warranty, you may be eligible for a free repair, replacement or a refund. (Which? helps in the UK).
- Take responsibility for your device and your data. Our volunteers are here to help you learn to fix your gadget, not to provide a free repair service. Get involved!
- Backup your data. We can’t be responsible for your cat pics, so please back up your device before you come. (Of course you already do this once a month, right?)
- Charge up your device and bring all leads.
- Get in touch with organisers if you have any questions about whether a fix is possible.
DON’T
- Assume repairs will be successful. We help fix over half of devices at our events. Even if your repair is unsuccessful, you will learn about your device and why it failed.
- Expect us to have spare parts. But we can help you source them. Often people visit twice: first we’ll help diagnose the fault, then you source the spare part, and on your return we’ll help you do a replacement.
- Attempt a mobile screen repair just to save money. DIY mobile screen repair is a learning opportunity first and foremost. Please see our advice page first.
- Bring a microwave.
