Question 1

What can I bring to a repair event?

Accepted Answer

Please check the event listing to see what types of repair are offered. Please note that whilst we will do our best to match you with a repairer, not all items will be able to be repaired on the day if at all. You must register your item prior to attending. One item per person per workshop.

Question 2

Are repairs done for free?

Accepted Answer

City of Stonnington is appointing expert and hobby repairers to help you. Wherever possible repairs will be conducted for free, with basic materials being provided. In some instances, you may be advised to purchase materials or parts and bring your item back to a subsequent event.

Question 3

What if my item can’t be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Our repairers will do their best to repair as many items as possible. However, if an item is beyond repair, requires specialised tools or parts, or we don’t have time on the day of the event, we will provide guidance on where you can get further assistance.

Question 4

Can I volunteer at a repair workshop?
