Happy International Repair Day!

Today we joined over 3,000 repair groups around the world in a global movement that says: fix it, don't bin it!

Every item repaired is one less thing in landfill, money saved in your pocket 💷, and a step towards a stronger, more sustainable Hull

A huge thank you to our brilliant partners Unity in Community HU6 and our amazing Fixers, Pat and Barry — your skills and patience keep our community's treasures going!

Swipe through to see some of the fantastic things (and lovely people!) that came through our doors today.

Community power in action! 📚✨

A massive shoutout to Carl, who popped into the Library to lend a helping hand. Thanks to his support, we’ve got two wonderful items back in full circulation!

Repair Café round-up!

What a brilliant session today with Unity in Community HU6 Our volunteer Pat and Alan were busy all day giving much-loved kit a second life

Here's what came through the door:

Deborah's leaf blower wouldn't blow – we cleared the blockage and it's back in action!

Barry's dehumidifier had stopped pumping – we traced it to a blown capacitor, so a replacement part is on order

Amanda's hedge trimmer got a proper sharpen – those hedges don't stand a chance!

Jenny's Dyson is fixed and back to full suction power

And a special shout-out to Phil, who's been waiting patiently since earlier this year for his Bluetooth speaker!

Repairing the USB socket was a real challenge – it needed special liquid solder and a heat blower running at 350–400°C We learned something new today too!

Every repair means less waste, money saved and one less thing heading to landfill

🔧 Repair Café with Unity in Community HU6 was a blast!
Pat and I had a brilliant time getting hands-on with the community this month — here's what came through our doors:
🧊 Camper fridge — needs regassing and new parts. They're on order, watch this space!
🔌 Old iron — needed a full cable replacement. Fiddly job, but we got there!
⛄ Animatronic snowman — lost some of his moves! Pat's on the case — work in progress and we're rooting for him!
🌿 Garden chipper — wouldn't power on at all. Traced it down to a dodgy interlock and got it sorted!
🔊 Bluetooth speaker — needs a new charging port. Parts ordered, back on the bench next time!
Some great wins, a couple of jobs still in progress — that's the beauty of Repair Café! 💪
Huge thanks to everyone who came along and trusted us with their treasures. Every repair is one less thing in landfill. ♻️

🔧 We fixed our K4 Classic Pressure Washer — and it only cost £27.60.
It started leaking and couldn't build pressure. Sounds like the end, right? Wrong.
11 screws later (7 to open the casing, 4 to remove the head), we spotted the culprit — watermarks on the pump head. A replacement part, a bit of time, and it's back to full power.
Now think about how many pressure washers end up in landfill or recycling because of exactly this kind of fault. A single part. Sometimes one you can't even buy.
That's why we do what we do. Borrow, use, repair, reuse. 💚⚒️💚
