FAQ: Repairable by Design Products
Which options are truly buy-it-for-life in this repairable product range?
The most buy-it-for-life options in this repairable product range are built to last, using tough materials and modular designs. Look for products with long warranties (10+ years), easy disassembly, and spare parts available - like stainless steel kitchenware, wooden tools, or modular tech. Many brands in our collection even offer repair services or lifetime guarantees. These are the items that go the distance, not the bin. You can see how we choose them here.
How do I find spare parts for products in this collection?
For repairable products, spare parts are typically available direct from the maker - often through their website or a parts guide in the box. Most items in this collection use standard fixings (think screws or gaskets), so replacements won’t leave you scratching your head. If you’re stuck, just give us a shout and we’ll help you track down what you need.
Are these products easy to repair at home without special tools?
Yes, most products in this repairable product range can be fixed at home using just basic tools, like a screwdriver or Allen key. They’re designed for simple, faff-free maintenance - not an engineering degree. Clear guides or videos are usually included, and modular parts make repairs a breeze. So no need to become the next Bob the Builder.
What kind of maintenance do these items need to stay in top condition?
Repairable products stay in great nick with a bit of regular TLC. This might mean oiling wood, tightening screws, or giving things a proper clean now and then. These little habits help prevent big issues later and can add years to your product’s life. For more tips, take a look at our product care blog.
Are the brands in this collection ethically made and sustainably sourced?
Yes, all brands in our repairable product range are chosen for ethical manufacturing and sustainable materials. You’ll find things like FSC-certified wood, recycled metal and organic textiles - all produced under fair working conditions. Many also offer circular schemes or low-waste production. In short, they’re doing right by people and planet.
How do modular designs help extend a product’s lifespan?
Modular designs are key to a longer life in any repairable product range. They let you replace just the faulty part, not the whole thing - saving you money and cutting waste. Since these items are built using standard parts, most repairs are quick to do with tools you probably already have in the shed. It’s a smart fix for throwaway culture.
Can I send these items in for repair if I can’t fix them myself?
Yes, if you can’t fix a product from our repairable range yourself, many brands offer repair or refurbishment services. Some even include free repairs under warranties up to 15 years. Whether it’s a replacement part or a full reconditioning, we’re happy to point you in the right direction. Our repairable collection is full of items made to be supported, not just sold.
