How it works
How a repair works
Step 1: Bring it in
Walk in during our opening hours, or book a free diagnostic online first. For a laptop or PC, you can also ask us about our mobile service.

Free for most repairs. Liquid damage has a £35 diagnostic fee and gaming PCs a £65 one, and both come off the bill if you go ahead.

We tell you what’s wrong and what it costs. If a repair isn’t worth it, we say so.

- Where possible, when the part is in stock. If it has to be ordered, we tell you when to expect it

Repair guides
Older laptops and lost files
Older laptops and MacBooksBoard-level repairs in our own workshop, and more storage
Laptops and MacBooks that won’t turn on or charge often have a fault on the main board, such as a damaged charging port or a failed chip.
We do these board-level repairs in our own workshop, so the device doesn’t have to be sent away. See MacBook motherboard repair and Apple Mac repairs.
On MacBooks with a removable SSD, more storage costs from £149.99: see MacBook SSD upgrade.
Lost filesWhat to do, and not do, when a drive fails
We recover data in our own workshop, and in the rare cases that need forensic-level recovery, the drive goes to a specialist lab. We give you a quote once we know what’s wrong.
Until then, don’t keep restarting a drive that clicks or grinds, and don’t install recovery apps on the drive you’re trying to save: each attempt can make things worse. See data recovery.
iPads and PCsCracked iPad glass, batteries, and desktop and gaming PCs
We repair iPads too, from cracked glass to batteries: see iPad repairs.
Desktop PC repairs start from £69, including gaming PCs: see desktop PC repairs.

Common questions
Questions from Staines
Is there a train from Staines to Datchet?
Yes. South Western Railway trains from Staines to Windsor stop at Datchet after about 12 minutes, calling at Wraysbury and Sunnymeads. They run every 30 minutes during the day on weekdays, and our workshop is a minute’s walk from Datchet station.
What’s the quickest drive from Staines?
Usually the A308 through Old Windsor, then the B3021 over Albert Bridge into Datchet: 5.8 miles, about 20 minutes. The B376 through Wraysbury is about the same distance and usually takes a little longer.
Will you tell me if it isn’t worth repairing?
Yes. We check most devices for free and tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it before you spend anything. If it would cost more than the device is worth, we’ll say so.
Do you repair devices for Egham, Laleham and Stanwell too?
Yes. Anyone is welcome to bring a device to our workshop, wherever they live, and there’s no need to book first.
