Do not forget data and setup time

Replacing a phone is not just the purchase price. Moving banking apps, photos, passwords, two-factor authentication, work apps and family settings can take time. Repair can be simpler if the device already does everything you need.

Ask before guessing

If you are unsure, contact us with the model and fault. We can usually point you toward the likely repair path before you commit.
