Repair bonus
The Government introduced a repair bonus for textiles and shoes on 7 November 2023. When you visit an approved repairer, a discount is applied directly to your bill for repairs such as fixing the heel of your shoes or patching a hole in your clothes.
What does the bonus cover?
The bonus is a discount on your bill when you have an item of clothing or a pair of shoes repaired by a professional. This discount covers up to 60% of the repair cost, saving you between €6 and €25.
Here are a few examples of shoe repairs:
- €8 off fitting a protective sole
- Between €10 and €14 off replacing a zip
- Between €18 and €25 off resoling.
For clothing:
- €7 off repairing a hole or tear
- Between €8 and €15 off replacing a zip
- Between €10 and €25 off replacing a lining.
Where can I get my items repaired?
Repairs are carried out by Refashion-approved craftspeople, tailors and cobblers (around 500 are approved so far).
You can find the list on the website of Refashion.
