Electronic Repairs at Summer Hill
Bring your broken electrical appliances for assessment and we will work with you to troubleshoot how you might fix it. We can’t guarantee that we can repair items brought in, but we can give you an idea of what’s wrong and whether it’s repairable. If it’s not repairable, and we stock similar items, we will give you a gift voucher to use at our Marrickville Store to choose a replacement item.
You can watch other people’s items get pulled apart and repaired and gain insight into how different items work. Our aim is for you to leave empowered with more skills at home repairs.
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL – $30 for 30minute session

New Furniture Restoration & Repair Shop
We have opened our new Furniture Restoration & Repair consultation service at our Summer Hill site. Book a 15 minute slot and our expert cabinetmaker will advise you on the best way to restore or repair your favourite piece of furniture. If it’s a simple procedure we will fix it on the spot. If it’s a more complex process, we will advise you on the best way to DIY it or give you a quote for us to fix it. If you decide to go ahead with the quote, we will absorb your initial fee.

What is a Repair Cafe?
Repair Cafes originated in Europe, and the Bower was the first organisation to bring this concept to Australia. In the past we have encouraged our patrons to bring broken items into our workshops; after assessing the item our experts would offer advice on the best next steps.
We run occasional Repair Cafes at special events.
****We are looking for skilled repairers. Please email wm@bower.org.au if you are keen to join our team.
