Common Repairs from Newcastle
From the devices Newcastle customers send us, we see consistent patterns:
Screen Repairs
Cracked screens are the most common repair we receive from Newcastle. Whether it's a shattered iPhone display from a drop on Grey Street cobbles or a Samsung with a flickering AMOLED panel, we replace screens with manufacturer-quality parts that restore full touch sensitivity, display clarity, and — where applicable — Face ID or fingerprint functionality.
Battery Replacements
Newcastle's cold winters are brutal on phone batteries. Lithium-ion cells lose capacity faster in low temperatures, and after 18-24 months of Tyneside weather, many phones struggle to hold a charge past midday. We fit genuine-spec batteries that restore your device to full-day performance.
Charging Port Repairs
Lint, pocket debris, and wear from daily charging take their toll. If your phone only charges at a specific angle or won't charge at all, we replace the entire charging assembly — not just clean the port.
Water Damage Treatment
Spills, rain, and the occasional Quayside puddle incident. We perform full ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board, replace corroded components at board level, and recover devices that many shops would declare beyond repair.
Camera Repairs
Blurry photos, black screens in the camera app, or rattling lens modules. We replace rear and front camera assemblies to restore your device's full photographic capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the whole process take?
Typically 3-5 working days from posting to receiving your repaired device. Royal Mail Special Delivery is next-day, we repair same-day, and return is next-day. Allow one day either side for posting and delivery.
Is it safe to post my phone?
Yes. Royal Mail Special Delivery includes full tracking, next-day guaranteed delivery by 1pm, a signature on receipt, and up to £2,500 compensation cover. We've processed thousands of mail-in repairs without a single lost device. Read our complete safety guide for full details.
What if I don't have a backup phone?
Most people can manage 3-5 days using WhatsApp Web on a laptop, borrowing an old phone from a family member, or picking up a budget handset as a temporary spare. If you genuinely cannot be without your phone for any period, mail-in may not suit your situation.
Do you cover areas outside Newcastle city centre?
Absolutely. Our mail-in service works from anywhere with a Post Office. We regularly receive devices from Jesmond, Gosforth, Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields, Durham, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Hexham, and across the entire North East.
Can I track my repair?
Yes. You'll have Royal Mail tracking for both legs of the journey (to us and back to you), and we'll update you by text or email when we receive your device, when the repair is complete, and when it's been dispatched back.
