Mossway   15 #3 Posted December 22, 2019 Please don’t think I’m being discourteous, but umbrellas are pretty inexpensive and presumably yours is either an expensive one or has some sentimental value. Consider  the Repair Café at Heeley City Farm and there’s also one in Chesterfield if that’s nearer. Trouble is it’s only once a month but it does appear to be free !

Alfer   10 #4 Posted December 25, 2019 well done for seeking to repair rather than replace and discard. the repair culture is getting a much needed regeneration through the fab repair cafes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sherry Gray   0 #5 Posted December 26, 2019 Good suggestions, thank you, everyone.  My umbrella cost 28 English pounds and was claimed by the sales person that  it could stand up to Sheffield's winds ("the umbrella the Queen uses").   Seems expensive to me,  and not liking to just toss things--I have kept cheaper umbrellas going for years with easy repairs--but this more expensive umbrella has a problem with the metal shaft I can't fix, thanks to those big winds here.  Love the Repair Cafe idea!   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Granma   10 #6 Posted December 26, 2019 Many years ago there was an Umbrella Repair place in Sheffield.  Could these people help? http://www.theumbrellacompany.co.uk/  https://www.cygnus-sails.com/sspage-sail_repairs-umbrellas-umbrella_repairs___cleaning.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
