Phone & Tablet Repair Brighton: celltech Mail-In Service
Brighton's independent spirit extends to its tech scene — the city is packed with creative professionals, freelancers, and students who depend on their devices daily. But when your iPhone screen cracks on the seafront pebbles or your iPad battery gives up mid-project, finding a repair shop that goes beyond basic screen swaps can be surprisingly difficult. The lanes are full of phone accessory shops, but genuine component-level repair expertise is thin on the ground.
celltech's mail-in service brings specialist phone and tablet repair to Brighton, Hove, Kemptown, and across Sussex — from Lewes and Worthing to Eastbourne and Crawley. Post your device to our Solihull workshop via Royal Mail Special Delivery and have it repaired by experienced technicians with proper equipment, then returned to your door within days.
How It Works
Four simple steps to a professional repair:
1. Book Online
Visit our mail-in repair page and provide your device details, the fault you're experiencing, and your contact information. We'll confirm your booking and send packaging advice.
2. Post Your Device
Wrap your device securely and send it to us at our Solihull workshop via Royal Mail Special Delivery. This provides next-day tracked delivery with insurance cover up to £500. From Brighton, your device will typically be with us the following morning.
3. Expert Repair
We aim to complete your assess after arrival of receiving your device. Standard repairs like screens and batteries are often finished the same day. More involved work — water damage, motherboard repair, data recovery — may take a few days, and we'll keep you informed throughout.
4. Return Delivery
Your repaired device is sent back via Royal Mail Special Delivery, fully tracked and insured. The Repair timing is confirmed after assessment.

Common Repairs from Brighton
Screen Replacements
The most common repair we handle. Whether it's a spider-webbed iPhone display or a Samsung screen with dead touch zones, we replace damaged panels with high-quality components that match the original in colour accuracy, brightness, and touch sensitivity.
Battery Replacements
A phone that dies by mid-afternoon or an iPad that won't hold charge through a single Netflix episode has a degraded battery. We replace worn cells with high-capacity batteries that bring your device back to its original endurance.
Charging Port Repairs
Intermittent charging, cables that fall out, or error messages about unsupported accessories usually mean a damaged charging port. We replace faulty Lightning, USB-C, and micro-USB connectors.
Water Damage Treatment
Seaside living has its hazards — salt air, rain on the pier, and the odd splash on the beach all take their toll on electronics. Our professional ultrasonic cleaning and component-level board repair gives water-damaged devices the best possible recovery outcome.
Camera Repairs
Blurry photos, shaky video, or a camera that simply won't open are usually down to a faulty camera module. We stock replacement cameras for all major iPhone, iPad, and Samsung models.
Back Glass Replacement
Glass-backed phones are elegant until they meet a hard surface. We replace cracked rear panels on iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices, restoring both aesthetics and wireless charging capability.
Why Choose celltech
Genuine Expertise
We don't just swap screens — we diagnose, repair at component level, and handle complex issues that most repair shops would turn away. Microsoldering, IC replacement, and board-level water damage repair are routine for us.
Proper Equipment
Our Solihull workshop has professional microsoldering stations, ultrasonic cleaning baths, and calibrated diagnostic tools. This isn't a back-room operation — it's a purpose-equipped repair facility.
Transparent Communication
You'll know exactly what's happening with your device at every stage. We confirm receipt, provide a diagnosis, complete the repair, and notify you of dispatch. If we find something unexpected, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Fair Pricing
We price our repairs competitively and transparently. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. If a repair isn't economical, we'll tell you straight rather than charging you for work that doesn't make sense. Learn more about our workshop on our Solihull repair page.
Warranty That Actually Means Something
Every celltech repair comes with a written warranty:
- 27 months — Screen, battery, camera, speaker, and button repairs
- 9 months — Charging port and headphone jack repairs
- 120 days — Water damage treatment, motherboard/microsoldering, and data recovery
If anything goes wrong with the repair we performed, send your device back and we'll make it right — covered by warranty, no fuss.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the process take from Brighton?
Typically 3–5 working days. Royal Mail Special Delivery from Brighton arrives with us the next day, we prioritise repairs after assessment, and return delivery is another day. Complex repairs may add a day or two.
Do you serve Hove, Lewes, Worthing, and Eastbourne?
Yes. Our mail-in service is available UK-wide, so customers in Hove, Kemptown, Lewes, Worthing, Eastbourne, Crawley, and anywhere else in Sussex can use the same service with the same delivery times.
Is posting my device safe?
Royal Mail Special Delivery includes full tracking and insurance up to £500. Pack your device in a rigid box with adequate cushioning — bubble wrap or foam works well. Remove your SIM card and case before posting.
What about iPads and tablets?
We repair all iPad models and most Android tablets. The mail-in process is identical — book online, post to us, and we'll return it repaired. iPads require a slightly larger box, but the same Royal Mail Special Delivery service applies.
Do I need to factory reset my device?
No — we don't need you to reset your device, and we recommend you don't (in case data recovery is needed). However, you must disable Find My iPhone/iPad before sending. Go to Settings → [Your Name] → Find My → toggle off.
