Phone Repair Solihull: Your Complete Local Guide

If you're searching for reliable phone repair in Solihull, you've likely noticed there's no shortage of options. High street kiosks, online-only services, and chain stores all compete for your attention. So how do you choose the right one? This guide covers everything you need to know about getting your device repaired locally — from what to expect when you walk in, to the warranty that protects you long after you leave.

Why Solihull Residents Choose celltech

celltech sits at 126 High Street, Solihull, B91 3SX — right in the heart of town inside Manor House. Whether you're popping in during a lunch break, between errands in Touchwood, or making a dedicated trip, we're easy to find and even easier to work with.

We're a walk-in-friendly independent repair shop, which means you don't need to book an appointment for most repairs (though you certainly can if you prefer). There's no automated queue system or weeks-long wait. You speak directly to a technician, get an honest assessment of the problem, and in most cases walk out the same day with a fully working device.

Being independent also means we're not tied to any single manufacturer. We repair iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, iPads, MacBooks, and a wide range of other devices — from budget handsets to flagship models. If it's got a screen, a battery, or a charging port, chances are we can fix it.

Devices & Services We Cover

Our technicians handle repairs across the full spectrum of consumer electronics. Here's a snapshot of what we work on daily:

Smartphones

• iPhone repairs — every model from the iPhone SE through to the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max. Screen replacements, battery swaps, charging port repairs, camera fixes, water damage recovery, and back glass replacement.
• Samsung repairs — Galaxy S series, A series, Z Fold, Z Flip, Note, and more. We carry parts for both current and older models.
• Other brands — Google Pixel, OnePlus, Huawei, Sony, Motorola, and Nokia. If you're not sure whether we cover your device, give us a ring or just walk in.

Tablets

• iPad repairs — iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and standard iPad. Screen digitiser replacements, battery replacements, charging issues, and camera repairs. Wondering if it's worth repairing? Read our iPad screen repair decision guide.
• Samsung tablets — Galaxy Tab S and Galaxy Tab A series.

Laptops & Computers

• MacBook repairs — MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, including Retina display replacements, keyboard repairs, battery replacements, and logic board diagnostics.
• Windows laptops — screen replacements, hinge repairs, SSD upgrades, and general troubleshooting.

Other Devices

We also repair smartwatches (Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch), game consoles, drones, and selected audio equipment. Our goal is simple: if you rely on a device daily, we want to be the place that gets it working again.

Same-Day Repairs for Most Common Faults

The most common reason people search for phone repair in Solihull is a cracked screen — and understandably so. A smashed display makes your phone difficult (and sometimes dangerous) to use. The good news is that screen replacements are typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes for iPhones and most Samsung models.

Other repairs we regularly complete same-day include:

• Battery replacements — your phone dies at 30%? Battery health degraded? We swap it while you wait.
• Charging port repairs — lint buildup, bent pins, or a port that simply won't recognise a cable anymore.
• Camera replacements — blurry photos, black screens in the camera app, or cracked lens glass.
• Back glass replacement — for iPhones and Samsung models with glass rear panels.

More complex repairs — water damage recovery, logic board microsoldering, or data recovery — may take one to three working days depending on the severity. We'll always give you a realistic timeframe upfront so there are no surprises.

Our Warranty: Built for Peace of Mind

One thing that sets celltech apart is our warranty policy. We don't offer the standard 90-day cover you'll find at most repair shops. Our warranty tiers are designed to reflect the expected lifespan of each repair:

• 27 months — screens, batteries, cameras, speakers, and buttons. This covers the vast majority of repairs.
• 9 months — charging ports and headphone jacks. These components endure constant physical stress from plugging and unplugging.
• 120 days — microsoldering, IC-level repairs, data recovery, and liquid damage treatment. These are inherently more complex, and the 120-day window reflects honest expectations.

If something goes wrong within the warranty period, bring your device back. We'll inspect it, and if it's a warranty issue, we'll fix it at no extra cost. No arguments, no small print designed to deny your claim.

How to Find Us

We're located at 126 High Street, Solihull, B91 3SX, inside Manor House. If you're walking along Solihull High Street from the Touchwood Shopping Centre end, you'll find us on the right-hand side heading towards Mell Square.

Parking

Solihull town centre has several convenient car parks within a few minutes' walk:

• Touchwood Car Park — the largest and most central option, directly connected to the Touchwood Shopping Centre. A short walk from our door.
• Mell Square Car Park — another close option on the opposite end of the High Street.
• On-street parking — limited bays are available on surrounding streets, though these fill up quickly during peak hours.

Public Transport

Solihull train station is roughly a 10-minute walk from our shop. Multiple bus routes also serve the High Street directly, making us accessible from across the wider West Midlands area.

Areas We Serve

While our shop is on Solihull High Street, our customers come from right across the borough and beyond. We regularly see people from:

• Shirley — just a 10-minute drive south along the Stratford Road.
• Dorridge & Knowle — a short trip via the A41 or B4101.
• Dickens Heath — one of the newer communities south of Solihull, an easy 15-minute drive.
• Balsall Common — east of Solihull, roughly 20 minutes by car.
• Hampton-in-Arden — a village nearby, convenient for anyone heading to or from Birmingham Airport.
• Olton & Elmdon — northern Solihull, bordering Birmingham. Quick access via Lode Lane or the Warwick Road.
• Birmingham city centre — many Birmingham residents prefer our personal service and competitive pricing over larger chain options in the city. See our Birmingham repair guide for more.

If you can get to Solihull High Street, you can get to celltech. And if you can't, we have a mail-in option for that too.

Walk-In vs Booking Ahead

We welcome walk-ins throughout our opening hours. For common repairs like screen and battery replacements, we almost always have parts in stock and can get started immediately. No appointment needed — just come in, and we'll take a look.

That said, booking ahead can be helpful in a few situations:

• Rarer devices or models — if you've got an older or less common phone, booking ahead lets us confirm we have the right parts ready for you.
• Busy periods — Saturday mornings and lunchtimes tend to be our busiest. Booking guarantees your slot.
• Complex repairs — water damage, MacBook logic board work, or data recovery benefit from a booked consultation so we can allocate proper time.

Whether you walk in or book ahead, you'll receive the same quality of service and the same warranty.

Mail-In Repairs for Customers Further Afield

Can't make it to Solihull in person? Our mail-in repair service lets you send your device to us from anywhere in the UK. Here's how it works:

1. Request a mail-in repair on our website — tell us your device, the fault, and your contact details.
2. Post your device to us via Royal Mail Special Delivery (tracked and insured).
3. We diagnose and repair — you'll receive updates by email at each stage.
4. We return your device via Special Delivery, fully repaired and tested.

Mail-in repairs carry the same warranty as in-store repairs. The only difference is the turnaround includes postage time — typically an extra day each way.

Opening Hours & Contact

We're open six days a week:

• Monday to Saturday: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
• Sunday: Closed

The best way to reach us is by phone on 07700 143573. You can also email us at mail@celltechmobilerepairs.co.uk — we aim to respond within a few hours during business days.

If you're coming in for a repair, there's no need to call first for common faults. Just walk in during opening hours and we'll get you sorted.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical screen repair take?

Most iPhone and Samsung screen replacements are completed within 30 to 60 minutes. You're welcome to wait in the shop or explore Solihull town centre while we work.

Do I need to back up my phone before bringing it in?

We always recommend backing up your data before any repair, just as a precaution. For standard repairs like screen and battery replacements, your data remains untouched. For water damage or board-level repairs, there's a small risk of data loss, so a backup is strongly advised.

Do you use genuine parts?

We use the highest-quality parts available for each device. For iPhones, this means premium aftermarket or original-grade components that match Apple's specifications for colour accuracy, touch sensitivity, and durability. We're always transparent about what we're fitting.

Can you fix water-damaged phones?

Yes. We offer professional liquid damage treatment, which includes ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board and replacement of any corroded components. Success rates depend on how quickly the device reaches us after exposure and what liquid was involved. We'll give you an honest assessment before proceeding.

What if my device can't be repaired?

If we determine that a repair isn't viable — whether due to extensive damage or cost exceeding the device's value — we'll tell you upfront. You'll never be charged for a repair we can't complete. We may also be able to offer a trade-in value for your device or assist with data recovery.

Do you repair devices that are still under manufacturer warranty?

We can, but it's worth noting that third-party repairs may void your manufacturer warranty. If your device is still covered by Apple, Samsung, or another manufacturer, we'd recommend checking with them first. If their repair cost or turnaround time doesn't work for you, we're here as an alternative.

Is there a diagnostic fee?

For straightforward faults (cracked screen, dead battery), diagnosis is instant and free. For more complex issues — intermittent faults, water damage, or no-power situations — we may carry out a detailed diagnostic. We'll always agree any fees with you before we start work.
