Beeston Repair Cafe

Beeston Fixers, are a group of community volunteers, who are ready to help you learn to repair your broken households items.We believe that there are many items that can be repaired rather than be replaced. or thrown away, and we want to 'Share the Repair' and involve you in the fixing.

Laptops can be fixed through the electrical item slot- BUT you will need to back up your data yourself, before coming to the event.

TO BOOK your electrical item:

If we can fix it then you will keep your slot, if we can't fix it we will cancel your slot for you. Item .
