Common Repairs from Cambridge
Cambridge's student population means we see a high volume of certain repairs. Phones dropped rushing between lectures, iPads with cracked screens from being carried in overstuffed rucksacks, and water-damaged devices that didn't survive a rainy cycle along the Cam. Here are the most common faults we repair for Cambridge customers:
- Cracked screens — the single most common repair. We use high-quality replacement displays with full touch and colour accuracy
- Battery replacements — batteries degrade over time. If your phone barely lasts a morning of lectures, it's time for a replacement
- Charging port repairs — lint, debris, and general wear cause charging issues, especially on phones carried in pockets and bags all day
- Water damage treatment — we perform ultrasonic cleaning and board-level assessment to recover water-damaged devices
- Camera repairs — cracked camera glass, blurry images, and autofocus failures
- Back glass replacement — cracked rear panels on iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the whole process take?
There is no universal door-to-door timeframe. Timing depends on the inbound carrier journey, diagnosed fault, parts, approval, testing and return delivery. Use the repair-specific estimate and order updates.
Is it safe to post my phone?
Posting risk cannot be eliminated. Use suitable packaging, choose an inbound service appropriate to the device's value and check the carrier's current compensation terms. Return delivery follows the terms shown for the order. Read our complete safety guide for full details.
I'm a student — can I use this during term time?
Yes. Use a delivery address where the recipient can meet the carrier requirements stated for your order. Check with your college or accommodation before using its address.
What about areas outside Cambridge city centre?
Our mail-in service is available in Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon and elsewhere in the UK. Check the chosen carrier's current target and terms before posting.
Do I need to back up my phone first?
Back up important data where possible. Many repairs do not require a reset, but no repair is risk-free for data.
