Want to learn some handy repair skills? Join us for our How to Change a Plug Like a Pro Fixperience Workshop, coming to Hackney's Fixing Factory on 1st October 2025! This workshop is a fun, hands-on way to jump into DIY repairs, cut down on waste, and keep a little extra cash in your pocket.

The workshop is designed for those with little to no prior experience, so don’t worry if you’re new to this.

Each session is small and friendly, with up to six people per workshop. So whether you come solo or with friends, you’re in for a relaxed, supportive environment. With one to two facilitators for each group, you’ll get plenty of one-on-one guidance as you learn the ropes.

How to Change a Plug Like a Pro

Many people have never changed a plug, but it can save you valuable time and money. By the end of the session you will have learnt the basics of safety when working with electrical items, understood how plugs work, disassembled and reassembled a traditional plug, and learnt about common mistakes to avoid.
