The Manchester Student Guide to Phone and Laptop Repair

Between lecture halls, night buses and Fallowfield house parties, student devices in Manchester live a hard life. When the screen finally goes, here is how to get it fixed without wrecking a term’s budget.

Know the real prices before you panic

A cracked screen feels like a hundreds-of-pounds problem, but it usually is not. iPhone screens start at £49, Samsung from £59, batteries from £29, and charging ports at £39. Laptop and MacBook repairs are quoted free before any work starts. Compare that with what a replacement device costs mid-semester and repairing wins comfortably.

You do not need to find a shop

No car, packed timetable, unfamiliar city: the classic reasons a broken phone stays broken. We collect from halls, house shares and campus anywhere in Greater Manchester, fix the same day where possible, and deliver back to your door. Booking takes two minutes on WhatsApp.

Back up before any repair

Your dissertation notes, your photos, your two-factor codes: back them up before any repair, anywhere. iCloud or Google One overnight on Wi-Fi is enough. A reputable shop never needs your passcode for a screen or battery job, so be wary of anywhere that demands it without explaining why.

Dead laptop before a deadline

A laptop that will not boot the week an essay is due is an emergency we see every term. Do not keep force-restarting it. Message us, mark it urgent, and we will prioritise the diagnosis; data recovery is often possible even when the machine itself is beyond saving. No fix, no fee applies either way.
