FAQs

In the first instance, you will need to raise the issue with the repairer that you employed to conduct your repair for you. All of our Premium Repairers and Featured Experts have been verified and have agreed to our Repairers Code of Conduct. If your repairer is a Premium Repairer and Featured Expert on We Are Repairs and you feel they have not responded to your complaint please send us an email detailing your complaint to [email protected] and we will follow up with the repairer to help you resolve the query.
Some items can be repaired via postal service so you do not need the repairer to live locally to you. For other items, it may be that the restoration required is specialised and those experts do not live near you but offer a Nationwide service. Sadly, some repair and craft skills are in decline and the crafts do not have as many practitioners as they once had. Part of the reason for creating the We Are Repairs community is to support repair and restoration experts in promoting their services and bringing these industries back to life so that every town and city does have these skills once again.
There are some fabulous free repair cafe’s that operate all over the UK so check out the map on the Community Repair Café Network page here to find one local to you. If you don’t want to keep your item, consider donating it to a good cause rather than throwing it away - you can find links to some wonderful charities and companies on our Donate/Recycle section here.
Again, this will depend on what your item is and how much work needs to be done to repair it, as well as how busy our repairers are with other restoration. Our repairers will give you an idea of the timeframe for the repair when you ask for a quote.
This will depend on what your item is and how much work needs to be done to repair it. All of our repairers will provide a no-obligation estimate of how much it will cost to repair your item before the work begins so you can make an informed decision on whether to go ahead.
Simply type the item you need to repair and your location into the search box at the top of any page on the We Are Repairs website and you will get a list of repair professionals who will be able to give you a quote. For our verified Featured Experts and Premium Repair members, you will be able to send them a message directly from their listing page as well as find information about their businesses. On the free listings, you will find a phone number and/or email address that you can contact them with. Please mention We Are Repairs when getting in touch with your chosen repair business.
We have repair professionals ready and waiting to help you repair your items across 18 categories of household items.

Please email [email protected] and one of our team will aim to come back to you within 3 working days.
