We repair PCs, laptops, tablets and most mobile phones. iPhone screen replacements are usually completed within an hour.
Hardware Repair
We carry out a wide range of hardware repairs to PC systems, gaming units, all-in-ones, tablets and more.
Laptop Repair
We repair laptops and are happy to answer questions before, during and after your repair. Contact us to discuss the problem with your device.
Slow laptop: Upgrades and removal of redundant software can help improve performance and extend the life of your current laptop.
Power issues: We repair broken laptop charging sockets, also known as DC jacks. Common signs include a loose socket, a laptop that will not charge, or a connection that works only when the cable is held at an angle.
If the charging connection is loose or unreliable, contact us to have it checked. Avoid repeatedly moving the connector to make it charge, as this can cause further damage.
Console Repairs
For PlayStation and Xbox consoles, we repair HDMI and USB ports and address overheating problems only.
Please note: we do not repair other console faults or controllers.
Nintendo Switch Repair
Nintendo Switch repairs include screens, charging ports and battery replacements.
Phone Repair
We repair most makes and models of mobile phone and keep a wide range of screens and parts in stock to help get your device working again quickly.

Water damage: We begin with a full diagnosis to assess the extent of liquid damage and whether a repair is possible. Where appropriate, we use ultrasonic cleaning and specialist cleaning solutions to remove contamination inside the device.
Battery replacement: We replace iPhone batteries. If your phone needs charging more often, gets unusually hot or shows signs of a swollen battery, contact us to discuss a repair.
We use specialist equipment to repair your device as efficiently as possible. Please contact us for prices for other manufacturers.
iPad & Tablet Repair
We repair iPads and tablets, including screens, charging ports, batteries and home buttons.
If your battery drains quickly, your screen is damaged or your home button has stopped working, contact us to discuss the fault.
We use high-quality parts for iPad repairs and will contact you as soon as your device is ready to collect.
