A broken laptop shouldn't mean a week without work, uni deadlines or your photos. Bring any make or model — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer or MacBook — to our Nottingham workshop and we'll diagnose it free and quote a fixed price before touching anything. With over 5,000 parts in stock, including screens, keyboards and batteries for all major brands, most laptop repairs are finished the same day.
Recent workshop work includes repairing a recent-model MacBook whose touchpad stopped working after a water spill and completing around four laptop screen replacements in one week. Those are real examples, not a promise that every liquid-damaged device or screen job has the same repair path.
Free diagnosis on all of the above — fixed quote before any work starts.
Laptop repairs from £30 including VAT. Guide prices — exact fixed quote given after free diagnosis.
Drop in, or call 0115 855 9414. We find the fault and tell you plainly what is wrong.
You approve the exact price before any work starts. No fix, no fee.
Parts in stock mean most jobs are done the same day, backed by our three-calendar-month parts and labour repair warranty.
Cracked or faulty screen. The most common job on the bench. We keep panels for all major brands in stock, so most screens are replaced the same day — often within a couple of hours. A flickering screen or faint display isn't always the panel itself; sometimes it's the cable or backlight, which is cheaper — the free diagnosis tells you which before you spend anything.
Battery that won't hold charge. If your laptop dies in minutes or only runs on the mains, the battery has usually reached the end of its life. We fit genuine-spec replacements, and where the battery is stocked it's typically done while you wait. If the fault turns out to be the charging circuit rather than the battery, we'll say so — no point selling you a battery that won't fix it.
Worn or unresponsive keyboard. Missing keys, dead rows or ghost typing. We replace full keyboards — including backlit models — rather than gluing individual keys back on, because single-key fixes rarely last.
Liquid damage. Speed matters here: switch the laptop off, unplug it, and don't try to power it on to "check if it still works" — that's when the real damage happens. We clean spills at board level and give an honest assessment of what's saveable before you commit to anything.
Slow performance. Often the best-value repair of all. An SSD upgrade and a memory boost can make a five-year-old laptop feel new for a fraction of replacement cost — and we clone your existing Windows installation across, so nothing needs setting up again.
If a repair genuinely isn't worth it, we'll tell you straight — and our used laptops for sale are refurbished on the same bench, tested, wiped and warrantied, with your data transferred across the same day.
Where a laptop can't be repaired, or the repair isn't worth what the machine is worth, we'll transfer your files, photos and settings onto a replacement device so nothing is lost in the changeover. Bring the old machine in and we'll tell you honestly which way makes more sense — our used laptops for sale are tested, wiped and warrantied on the same bench.
Real examples help explain what diagnosis means in practice. We omit customer details and do not invent model numbers, prices or repair steps that were not recorded.
Customer details are omitted for privacy. Illustrative images are used where an original job photograph was not available.
We can collect your device, repair it at our Nottingham workshop and return it to your door. Get in touch for a collection quote: 0115 855 9414.
Most laptop faults — cracked screens, dead batteries, slow drives, liquid spills — cost a fraction of a new machine to put right. We diagnose free of charge, quote a fixed price before any work starts, and back every repair with a 3-month parts and labour warranty, so keeping your laptop is the easy choice.
Most laptop screens are replaced the same day — often within a couple of hours if the panel is in stock, which it usually is. We hold screens for all major brands, so there's rarely a wait for parts. We'll confirm the timescale when we quote.
Yes — we assess compatible MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models for screen, battery, keyboard, touchpad and liquid-related faults. Parts availability and repair options depend on the exact model, and we confirm both before work starts.
Your files remain on your machine and we only access what testing reasonably requires. If work could affect a healthy, readable drive, we'll explain the risk and agree any backup or transfer first. Recovery from a physically failed drive is a separate job and the outcome is uncertain.
Laptop repairs start from £30 including VAT. The diagnosis is always free, and you get a fixed quote before any work begins — so you know the exact cost up front, and if we can't fix it you pay nothing.
Then you pay nothing — that's our no fix, no fee promise. We'll explain what's wrong, transfer your data where the drive is healthy, and if you need a replacement we can move everything to one of our tested refurbished laptops the same day.
Switch it off, unplug the charger and don't turn it back on — powering up a wet laptop is what causes most of the damage. Bring it to us as soon as you can; the sooner a spill is cleaned at board level, the better the odds. We'll assess it free and tell you honestly what's saveable.
In most cases, yes — dramatically. The usual culprit is an ageing hard drive: swapping it for an SSD, often with a memory upgrade, transforms responsiveness for far less than a new machine. We clone your existing Windows setup across, so you get your own laptop back, just faster.
Yes — full keyboard replacements for all major brands, including backlit keyboards. Worn keys, dead rows and liquid-damaged keyboards are everyday jobs; most are done the same day when the part is in stock.
We test with an external display and inspect the panel, display cable, backlight and graphics output where applicable. A black or flickering screen is not always a failed panel, so diagnosis avoids replacing the wrong part.
Sometimes. We recently restored touchpad operation on a recent-model MacBook after a water spill, but liquid can affect several components and corrosion can continue after the spill. We inspect the individual machine and provide a fixed quote rather than promising the same outcome for every case.
Used and refurbished laptops include 3 months parts and labour as standard. You can ask us for a quote for optional 12-month parts and labour cover for an extra cost. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
If the numbers don't stack up, we'll tell you straight — and every machine in our shop is refurbished on the same bench, tested, wiped and warrantied.
