What our visitors say
One of the best things about Leominster Repair Café is seeing broken and much-loved items given a new lease of life.
Here are just some of the lovely comments we’ve received from visitors to our Repair Café.
“Excellent – always someone who can solve the problem and I did not have to wait long to be seen. Very grateful. Quite a number of items saved from the tip.”
“Great to know I can come here and have my garden tools in tip-top condition. Thank you to the two people doing the sharpening.”
“Herbie, a wonderful job on the clock.”
“A lovely job gluing my drawer back together. Thank you.”
“Booking was good and easy. Problem resolved with a practical illustration of how it is done. Could not have been a better experience.” – Jeff
Giving things another chance
“Adrian got my radio working again once he had re-attached some of the internal workings. Thanks a lot.” – Brendan
“The mower had suffered a broken bolt that secured the cutting blade. The repairer took time to go to a local shop to buy new securing bolts. Everything was replaced and the mower is now working again. Thank you everyone for your help.”
“We are very grateful that James and Sue managed to fix our music box. It means a lot to us. Great to watch the perseverance and skill in action. Thank you so much.”
“Thank you for imparting your wisdom. I am looking forward to playing my vinyl!”
“Solar lights fixed by Tony. Absolutely wonderful, thank you.” – Murdo
“Clock fixed in a flash – the battery kept falling out. Thank you so much.”
“Very pleased with the kettle repair. A great job. Brilliant service – long may it continue.”
“Great service and knowledge with my leaf blower. Every possible effort was made to get the part, although unfortunately it was unavailable. Thank you.”
“Thank you Tony for fixing my Dyson – now ready for the collection of more dog hair!”
“Thank you Adrian and the other repairer who kindly repaired three table lamps for a neighbour. The lamps would otherwise have gone to waste.”
Repairs that really matter
“James did an amazing job on some special wind chimes. Thank you so much! I had thought it was a hopeless task, but he looked everything up online and now they are back in action.” – Wendy
“Thank you so much Adrian – a fantastic job on my table, which was made by my father over 50 years ago. The Repair Café is brilliant. Thank you to all the volunteers – a great asset to Leominster!” – Jane
“Thank you for fixing my small battery-operated saw. The chain had come off and it was a fiddly job, but two very helpful men fixed it. Brilliant that it can be used again.” – Linda
“Very happy with the repairs to my secateurs. Thank you Rupert.”
“Thank you so much for the successful repair of a very old doll’s cot, just in time for my granddaughter’s visit.”
“Excellent service and successful repair of a steam iron – saving more than £80 on buying a new one. Thank you Repair Café!”
“I’m delighted with the excellent service and advice. Very friendly too. Brilliant!”
A big thank you to our volunteers
“I left a rather sad-looking clock case with Adrian to repair. He did a wonderful job and I can now reassemble the clock. I hope the Repair Café flourishes – it is a wonderful setup.” – Peter
“I’m very grateful. Brilliant to get this problem sorted – very helpful and competent service.” – Joe
These are just a few examples of the things our volunteer repairers help with each month. Every successful repair means another item has the chance to stay in use rather than being thrown away.
Have something that needs repairing?
Why not bring it along to one of our next Repair Café sessions? For most repairs you’ll need to book a time slot in advance.
Could you help us repair more?
We’re always pleased to hear from practical people who enjoy fixing things. You don’t need to be a professional repairer – enthusiasm, patience and a willingness to have a go are just as important.
