Where do you get umbrellas fixed??

A.Penny.Saved

If you can't repair it yourself by a bit of improvisation then it probably isn't worth repairing due to the cost.

Who would spend £25 on an umbrella? :shocked: £10 will buy a reasonable wind proof golfing style one.

he previous poster said it was a shooting stick type umbrella.
you cant buy them for a tenner.

Nearly 30 years ago I had an umbrella repaired in Manchester. The man who mended had letters addressed to him "The Umbrella Man, Manchester" stuck up on the wall of his shop, although that wasn't the name of his business. I've just done a google search for "umbrella repairs Manchester" and came up with this, not sure if it's the same company but here's hoping:

Express Umbrella Repairs
56 Parkstone Avenue
Whitefield
Greater Manchester M45 7QH

Telephone 0161 766 3501. No website.

Fingers crossed this helps!

For christs sake. This original post was made in June 2007. That's five years ago. Do you really think the OP has been waiting on a post 5 years later to advise where to send his umbrella? Good lord.

This is a money saving site :money:.

After 5 years, OP probably has a dozen broken umbrellas saved up for the day when someone names a repairer.
