Our Story
From the High Street to 60 Million Viewers
Remember when appliances lasted for decades? Those days are gone — and that's exactly where How to Repair comes in.
Since 1986, we've been in the UK appliance industry, helping countless customers with repairs, parts, and advice across our high street shops. With over 100 years of combined appliance parts knowledge between our key staff, we've built something genuinely rare: a team that really knows appliances inside out.
In 2006, we saw the need to reach people beyond the UK. So we took How to Repair online — creating a growing library of repair guides and video tutorials that now attracts viewers from every corner of the world.
Let's face it: today's appliances are built to break, and repair costs often rival replacement costs. That's why everything we do focuses on helping you make the right call — fix it yourself with confidence, or know when it's time to replace.
Finding reliable repair information online can be a minefield. How to Repair cuts through the confusion with trustworthy guidance straight from seasoned appliance experts who genuinely love helping people extend the life of their machines.
Our key staff have over 100 years of combined appliance parts knowledge — and we've been selling spares online and via telesales for over 8 years, supplying both the public and trade customers worldwide.
