Our London Fixing Factories are helping fix our relationship with disposable tech.
From tablets to toasters, a talented and creative group of fixers can help you repair your stuff and teach you new skills.
Whatever your skill level, repairing is more fun with others.
We’re here to help!
Repair it yourself
If you’re ready to have a go at fixing a device yourself, there are lots of guidelines for fixing things yourself out there. Here are a few that we could recommend:
- Our top Fixing Tips (general tips for cameras, laptops, printers and smartphones)
- Our community’s repair wiki
- iFixit – Repair guides for most types of tech
- Espares advice centre – for home appliances
- Find even more links on our Repair wiki
If you don’t feel confident fixing your item yourself, or want to get it tested before you tinker, you may want to visit a Restart Party or Repair Cafe first.
Got an old laptop or phone sitting in a drawer? Digital access projects across the UK accept donated devices to fix up and give to people in need.
What to do when you can’t repair
Unrepaired device

Unwanted devices
Using the things we have for longer is good for the planet. But if you need to part ways with a working device, our advice can help you find it a new home.
