REPAIR + REWEAR IS A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE BASED IN ERITH THAT TACKLES TEXTILE WASTE. WE DO THIS THROUGH:

1.     A COMMUNITY REPAIR SERVICE

Pay a subsidised rate for us to repair your well-loved clothing.

2.     LEARN-TO-REPAIR WORKSHOPS

Learn the skills to repair your own clothes. If you are interested in these Workshops, sign up via the form below and we will be in touch.

Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the work involved.

The best thing to do is get in touch with us to discuss a repair and budget. For contact information, see below.
