Repair and restore

Sometimes things break, tear or scuff. Repairing and/or restoring goods to their former glory can extend their lifespan and reduce the need for replacements which may save money and time.

This category showcases businesses and organisations who offer alteration services, repair advice and services, or offer products designed to be repairable, should the need arise.

Every alteration, patch and cobble helps to keep things in use and out of landfill and contributes to a more circular economy.
