How Our Courier Repair Service Works
Free Diagnosis
Every repair starts with a free diagnosis to identify the fault.Â
Call us, or to include photos make use of our Free Damage Assessment form or WhatsApp.
Book Your Repair
Complete our online repair booking form. Tell us what the problem is, when it started, and whether the device contains any important information you’d like us to protect.
If you’re unsure what’s wrong, that’s perfectly fine. We’ll diagnose the problem once it arrives.
Prepare Your Equipment
Carefully package the device using plenty of protective padding.
Include your name and contact details, repair reference number, chargers & passwords if necessary for testing (optional but helpful).
Collection
We work with The Courier Guy and can arrange collection directly from your home or business. We handle the booking on your behalf, making the process quick and hassle-free.
Assessment
Once your device arrives, our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnostic inspection to identify the root cause of the problem. We’ll explain our findings, answer any questions and provide a detailed quotation before any repair work begins. No repairs are carried out without your approval.

After successful testing, your device is carefully packaged and prepared for return. We can arrange delivery through our courier partner, or you’re welcome to organise collection using your preferred courier.

However, this is a preliminary assessment and not a formal quotation.
Many computer faults have underlying causes that aren’t visible from the outside. Problems such as motherboard damage, liquid damage, power faults or storage failures often require professional diagnostic testing before the exact cause can be confirmed.
Once we’ve inspected your device, we’ll provide a detailed diagnosis and an official quotation before any repair work begins.
For faults with obvious visible damage such as a cracked laptop screen, broken hinge, damaged charging port or faulty keyboard we can usually provide a much more accurate estimate from photographs.
If additional hidden damage is discovered during inspection, we’ll contact you before carrying out any extra work.
You’ll always be informed before any additional work is carried out.
If our inspection identifies extra faults or hidden damage, we’ll explain the findings, discuss your options and provide an updated quotation for approval. No chargeable repairs are performed without your authorisation.

If we believe repairing your device isn’t economical, we’ll tell you honestly. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, whether that’s repairing your current device or considering a replacement. We’ll explain our findings so you can decide what’s best for your budget and needs.
