Re-Purpose
New Life. Same Comfort.
Just like we believe that a brand-new chair should be built for the customer, not the masses, we also believe that every wheelchair deserves a second chance.
Our Repurpose service is meant to take your trusted wheelchair (daily or sport) and giving it a refreshing touch-up and ensuring it continues to be a reliable part of your mobility solution. A refurbishment of a time-tested chair if you will. Throughout this process, we will restore, repair, or upgrade your wheelchair. This is regardless of its brand or model, not just limited to your own Purpose chair. Together with you we will assess every detail to bring back reliability, performance, and comfort. Making it just as good, or even better than when it was new.
Choosing Repurpose can save you quite some money, but it’s a also commitment to sustainability and reducing waste. It’s our way of both helping you keep moving, while contributing to a greener future.

We’ve Got Answers
Why should I choose to repurpose my wheelchair instead of buying a brand new one?
Repurposing your wheelchair is a clever, sustainable, and cost-effective solution that give a new life to a wheelchair you already know and trust. By restoring and upgrading your current wheelchair, our aim is for you to maintain the comfort and familiarity of your chair while, in most cases, enhancing its performance. This approach not only saves money compared to purchasing an entirely new wheelchair, but it also encourages environmental sustainability by reducing waste. It’s about making the most of what you already have: keeping moving forward without compromise on comfort and reliability.
Can you recondition any wheelchair, regardless of brand or model?
Yes, we can recondition virtually any wheelchair, regardless of the brand or model. We are experienced in handling a wide range of designs and models, and if your wheelchair is still fundamentally sound, we’re confident we can restore it to peak performance—even addressing structural damage where possible. All these details will be discussed during our consultation call. Please note that while most components can be repaired, some parts or assemblies are proprietary to specific manufacturers. In those cases, replacing or repairing these items may be more complex.
What kinds of repairs, upgrades, or modifications do you perform during reconditioning?
Our reconditioning process encompasses a broad spectrum of services: from the simple to the complex. We can refresh your chair’s appearance with a new coat of paint or replace worn side panel. Entire upholstery sets can also be made (without having to ship the chair to us). More substantial repairs may include fixing cracked welds or broken joints, in both cases we would also take a proactive stance and add the necessary upgrades to prevent recurring problems. We also offer very advanced modifications, such as converting an open frame into a closed frame for added rigidity, transforming a regular open frame into a foldable one for easier transport. The implementation of additional features like ergonomic seating adjustments and custom attachments from third parties. Every modification is made to fit the unique personal needs.
How long does the reconditioning process typically take?
The duration of our RePurpose service will vary based on the extent of work required and our current work load. Minor cosmetic updates or simple repairs might be completed in just a week, while more extensive structural modifications can take a couple of weeks. During your initial consultation, we provide also provide an indicative timeline based on your specific needs. Moreover, we understand that unexpected issues can arise during the whole process. To prevent any misunderstandings and ensure the end result meets everyone’s expectations, we maintain close communication throughout. This way, you’re always kept in the loop.
Will my reconditioned wheelchair feel as good as—or even better than—a new one?
Absolutely. Our goal is to restore and enhance your wheelchair so that it meets or even exceeds the performance and comfort of a new one. We’ve seen that thanks to our upgrades and careful repairs, a reconditioned chair does not only feels as good as it once did but often performs even better. Think of added structural integrity, more rigidity or simply by replacing of the shelf parts with high-end ones. By addressing all the wear-and-tear and adding improvements, we can almost ensure you that your chair will feel better than new and offer optimal functionality at the same time.
How does choosing Repurpose compare cost-wise to buying a new wheelchair?
Repurposing your wheelchair is generally much more cost-effective than buying a new one. We make use and leverage the existing structure of your chair and focus only on the required repairs and/or upgrades; which results in significant savings. Additionally, this approach is environmentally friendly, as it reduces waste and makes the most of your current investment. Our competitive pricing reflects our mission to deliver personalized mobility solutions for everyone, regardless of their financial capabilities. A comfortable and reliable wheelchair is a must, and should not be only be reserved for the lucky few.
