We keep answers specific and practical. For model-specific quotes, use the Contact page and include your device model and the exact symptoms.

Turnaround

How long do repairs usually take?

Many common repairs are completed the same day, often within a few hours. Timing depends on your model, the complexity of the fault, and part availability on the day.

Tip: If you are travelling in and want to minimise waiting, contact us first so we can advise on typical timing for your device.

Pricing

Can you quote a price before I visit?

We can often provide a GBP estimate if you share your device model and the exact symptoms. For some faults, we may need to inspect the device first to confirm the cause and the correct fix.

You can see typical ranges on our Pricing page. For anything outside the usual, we confirm the estimate before repair work begins.

Warranty

What does your warranty cover?

Eligible repairs include written warranty coverage for parts and labour, based on the repair type and device condition. Coverage applies to faults related to the installed part or the workmanship during the warranty period.

Details and exclusions are listed on the Warranty page so you can review them before you book.

Privacy

Do you need my passcode or Apple ID?

No. We do not ask for your passcode, Apple ID, Google account, or personal logins. If a specific feature test requires device access, you can unlock the phone while you are present and lock it again immediately after the check.

If your phone cannot be unlocked, we can still do many hardware repairs and run checks that do not require access to personal content.

Screens

Will a new screen look and feel normal?

Our goal is a clean, aligned fit and a responsive touch experience. After a screen replacement, we run relevant checks such as brightness behaviour, touch grid responsiveness, and sensor function.

Some devices may display system messages after repair (for example, parts reporting or calibration notices). We will explain what you may see for your model during check-in.

Batteries

What should I expect after a battery replacement?

You should see more consistent daily runtime and more stable performance if the old battery was degraded. We check charging behaviour and basic thermal behaviour after fitting.

Your phone may take a few charge cycles to recalibrate usage estimates, especially if it was heavily throttling before.

Charging

My phone only charges at certain angles. Is it always the port?

Not always. It can be the cable, debris in the port, wear on the connector, or internal damage. We start with a structured diagnostic to avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.

Once we identify the cause, we explain options and confirm the estimate before proceeding.

Liquids

Do you repair water-damaged phones?

We can assess liquid exposure and explain what is realistically repairable. Outcomes vary widely based on the liquid type, the time since exposure, and what components were affected.

We avoid promising results for liquid-damaged devices. The goal is an honest assessment and a sensible next step.

Visiting

Do you accept walk-ins at Hatton Garden?

Yes, walk-ins are welcome. Availability can vary, especially on busy days, so contacting us first can help you plan your timing.

Address: 32-33 Hatton Garden, Holborn, London EC1N 8DL, United Kingdom.

What to bring for a smooth check-in

A quick checklist that makes diagnostics faster and avoids delays.

01

Your device and symptoms

Tell us what happened and what changed. Specific symptoms help us choose the right tests and avoid guesswork.

Example: ā€œOnly charges on one sideā€ or ā€œTouch misses near the edge.ā€

02

Cables (when relevant)

If your issue is charging or data connection, bring the cable you normally use. It helps us isolate whether the fault is the cable, the port, or the adapter.

We may test using workshop cables as well.

03

Access only if needed

If you want us to verify a feature that requires the phone to be unlocked, you can do that yourself during the check and lock it again right after.

No passcodes or account details required.

Receipts and paperwork

If your device has a prior repair history or you have a specific concern about a part, it helps to mention it during check-in. We keep communication practical and focused on the current fault.
