How It Works

Bring it to Wimbledon, post it from anywhere in the UK, or send us a batch. Here is what happens on each route.

Three Ways to Get It Repaired

The same bench and the same parts. What changes is when you pay and how long it takes.

Repaired While You Wait

  1. Choose the repair and pay

    Pick your device and the repair, choose Repaired While You Wait and pay online. Paying first is what lets us order the part for your device.

  2. Pick your visit

    You choose the slot at checkout, usually about two working days ahead, so the part is here when you are.

  3. Wait while we fix it

    Bring it to 136 Kingston Road, Wimbledon. The repair is done during your visit, and each repair page shows how long it takes.

  4. Tested before you leave

    We check what we repaired, then it goes home with you.

Diagnostics, motherboard repair and liquid damage take days, so they are not done while you wait. Leave them with us or post them.

Leave It With Us

  1. Book a slot or walk in

    Nothing to pay upfront. Tell us the model and what is wrong.

    Book Your Visit
  2. We confirm the fault and order the part

    You hear the price before any work starts.

  3. Ready in 1-3 working days

    We let you know when it is ready to collect.

  4. Pay when you collect

    Tested before handover. You pay for the repair when you pick it up.

For diagnostics, motherboard repair and liquid damage, the fee is paid in store and buys the verdict and a firm quote in 1-3 working days. It is credited towards the repair.

Post It to Us

  1. Choose the repair and check out

    Pay at checkout, or choose Pay After Repair and pay once it is fixed, before it comes back.

You See Your Files Before You Pay for Recovery

Five steps, starting with a £39 diagnostic that shows what is possible.

  1. Ask for a price range

    Tell us the device, what happened and which files you need. We reply with a likely price range, usually within hours. It is an email reply, not a diagnosis, and costs nothing.

  2. £39 diagnostic, 1-3 working days

    Bring or post it to Wimbledon. You get what is wrong, how likely recovery is, a fixed price and a date. The fee is credited towards the recovery, and it is not refunded if you stop there or nothing can be recovered.

  3. Approve or walk away

    Say yes to the price, or stop there with only the diagnostic spent.

  4. Recovery

    Done on our Wimbledon bench, in the dust-free chamber when a drive has to be opened. You hear from us at each stage.

  5. See it, then pay

    You check the files in person or over a screen share before you pay. We keep a copy for 24 hours, then wipe it.

Questions

Can every repair be done while I wait?

No. Screens, batteries, charging ports and similar part swaps can. Diagnostics, motherboard repair and liquid damage take days, so for those you leave it with us or post it.

How long does a repair take?

While you wait, the time shown on the repair page. Left with us, 1-3 working days. Posted, back in 2-5 working days. Board-level work and liquid damage are quoted after diagnosis.

What does the warranty cover?

The repair we did and the part we fitted, parts and labour: 6-12 months where a part was replaced, 6 months on motherboard work, 3 months on liquid damage treatment. New damage is not covered.

Should I back up before a repair?

Yes, if the device still works. We never wipe a device deliberately, but no repair is risk-free.

Do I pay if my data cannot be recovered?

Only the £39 diagnostic, which is not refunded. If nothing can be recovered there is nothing more to pay.

How long does data recovery take?

Standard 14-21 working days, Priority 5-14, Emergency 1-4. You get a date with the quote.
