Phone & Tablet Repair Leicester: celltech Mail-In Service
Leicester is closer to our Solihull workshop than almost any other major city we serve. Separated by barely 40 miles of Midlands motorway, a device posted from Leicester via Royal Mail Special Delivery can be on our workbench before breakfast the next morning. That proximity translates directly into speed: Leicester mail-in repairs frequently achieve a 3-day door-to-door service.
Whether you're in Leicester city centre, Highfields, Oadby, Wigston, or further afield in Loughborough, Hinckley, or Market Harborough, our mail-in service delivers the same specialist-grade phone and tablet repair that Mail-In customers receive at our Solihull workshop — without the 40-mile drive.
How It Works
Getting your device repaired takes four straightforward steps:
- Book online — Visit our mail-in page, choose your device and fault type, and get an instant confirmed price. What you see is what you pay.
- Post via Royal Mail Special Delivery — Wrap your device securely (we send full instructions), drop it at any Leicester Post Office, and you're done. Special Delivery provides next-day guaranteed delivery by 1pm, full tracking, signature on receipt, and up to £2,500 compensation cover.
- Fast mail-in repair — Your device arrives at our Solihull workshop the next morning. We diagnose and repair it the same day — most repairs take a few hours at most.
- Return via Special Delivery — We dispatch your repaired device back to you the same day it's fixed. It arrives at your Leicester address the following morning, tracked and insured throughout.
Tracking is provided throughout the mail-in process. Leicester's proximity to Solihull means you're often looking at the faster end of that range.

Common Repairs from Leicester
Leicester customers send us a familiar spread of faults:
Screen Repairs
The single most common repair across every city, and Leicester is no exception. Cracked iPhone displays, shattered Samsung AMOLED panels, iPad screens with dead touch zones — we replace them all with manufacturer-quality parts. Every screen repair restores full touch sensitivity, display brightness, and biometric features like Face ID or in-display fingerprint sensors.
Battery Replacements
A phone that dies by 2pm is a phone that isn't doing its job. After 500+ charge cycles (typically 18-24 months of daily use), lithium-ion batteries lose meaningful capacity. We fit genuine-spec replacement cells and calibrate them properly, restoring full-day battery life.
Charging Port Repairs
If your phone only charges when you hold the cable at just the right angle, or won't charge at all, the charging assembly needs replacing. We swap the entire unit — charging port, flex cable, and microphone assembly — for a brand-new component. No temporary fixes.
Water Damage Treatment
From spilt cups of tea to phones dropped in sinks, water damage is more common than people expect. We open the device, perform ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board, replace any corroded components at board level, and get your phone working again. Our success rate on water damage is significantly higher than most shops because we have the equipment to work at component level.
Camera Repairs
Blurry images, a black camera viewfinder, or a lens module that rattles when you shake the phone — all signs of a camera assembly that needs replacing. We fit OEM-grade camera modules that restore full photographic quality.
Why Choose celltech from Leicester?
Leicester has plenty of phone repair shops on its high streets. So why post your device 40 miles to Solihull? Here's why:
- Professional-grade equipment — Microsoldering stations, ultrasonic cleaners, calibrated screen testing equipment. The tools we use simply aren't available in most high-street shops.
- Fixed, transparent pricing — No diagnostic fees, no surprise surcharges. The online quote is the final price.
- Manufacturer-quality parts — We use OEM-grade components, not cheap aftermarket copies. The difference in screen clarity, touch responsiveness, and longevity is stark.
- 27-month warranty — Most Leicester repair shops offer 30-90 days. We offer 27 months because we trust the quality of our work.
- Neighbouring city advantage — At just 40 miles apart, Leicester and Solihull enjoy some of the fastest Royal Mail transit times in the country. Your device spends minimal time in the post.
Our Warranty
Every repair is covered by our industry-leading warranty:
- 27 months — Screen, battery, camera, speaker, and button repairs
- 9 months — Charging port and headphone jack repairs
- 120 days — Water damage treatment and board-level microsoldering
If a warranted part fails, post the device back and we'll repair or replace it at no cost to you — including covering your return postage.

Approximately 40 miles via the M69. Royal Mail Special Delivery between Leicester and Solihull is consistently next-day, often arriving early morning. It's one of our fastest mail-in routes.

How do I know my device is safe in the post?
Royal Mail Special Delivery provides full GPS tracking, guaranteed next-day delivery by 1pm, mandatory signature on receipt, and compensation cover up to £2,500.

What if the repair costs more than quoted?
It won't. The price quoted online is the price you pay. If we discover additional issues during diagnosis, we'll contact you with options before proceeding — never surprise you with a higher bill.
