Upper Hutt Repair Café (est. 2019) helps with household items needing repair — small electricals, tools, toys, furniture and more. With the help of skilled, friendly volunteers, you’ll receive practical advice and assistance. You can repair it yourself with guidance, or have it repaired with your assistance. Choosing repair over replacement reduces waste and saves buying new.
Aside from any parts required (which we recommend you purchase yourself), the only cost is a donation of your choosing.
Our volunteers bring wide-ranging skills and a shared passion for sustainability, waste reduction and a circular economy, and we’re happy to look at most things. If we can’t repair your item, we’ll help you find a sustainable next step — whether that’s a professional repairer, upcycling or disposal.
Upper Hutt Repair Cafe Trust is a registered Charitable Trust (CC58255).
