Phone repair for every major brand, at 10 stores across the UK

Phone repair over the counter, not through the post

Sending a phone away for repair means days without it and a courier bag full of trust. CrC Repair®, trading as Pocket Geek, is built the other way round: ten real stores across England and Scotland, each with trained technicians who carry out phone repair over the counter — and the majority of jobs go home the same day they arrive.

iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola, Huawei, Honor, Oppo, OnePlus, Lenovo and Nokia handsets all cross our benches daily. And because every branch works to one company standard, it makes no difference whether you walk in at Bournemouth or Glasgow, Norwich or Wolverhampton — the parts quality, the training and the cover are identical, with a lifetime warranty on every phone screen repair and a year on everything else.

What our phone repair service covers

Phone screen repair

The most common phone repair in the country, and the one we’ve refined most. A chipped corner today becomes a spreading web next month, and eventually touch or the display itself gives up — replacing the panel early is almost always the cheaper route. New screens are fitted and tested at all ten stores, each one under our lifetime warranty. Our screen repair page covers displays in full detail.

Phone battery replacement

Every battery has a finite number of charge cycles in it, and a handset that limps to mid-afternoon has usually spent them. A new cell is one of the quickest fixes we offer and transforms how an older phone feels — Samsung handsets are fitted with genuine Samsung batteries only. One-year warranty; the full picture is on our battery replacement page.

Charging port repair

A socket that only charges when the lead is held just so, or ignores the cable altogether, is telling you something. Often the fix is as simple as clearing compacted lint; where the connector itself has worn, it’s repaired or replaced. Either way the port leaves working properly, with a year’s cover behind it.

Water damage phone repair

Liquid inside a handset starts working on the board straight away, which makes this the one repair where speed truly matters. Switch the phone off, don’t plug it in, and bring it to the closest of our stores — internals are opened, cleaned and assessed before an honest verdict on what’s recoverable. Water damage assessment and repair carries a one-year warranty.

Camera repair

Modern phones are cameras first for a lot of their owners, so smashed lens glass, focus that hunts and never lands, or a front camera that’s simply vanished from the app are faults worth fixing properly. Lens glass and full module replacements are handled across the brands above, each guaranteed for twelve months.

Back glass and housing repair

A shattered rear panel leaves sharp edges in your palm and a gap in the phone’s defences — sealing and stiffness both suffer once the back is broken. New rear glass and replacement housings restore the handset’s structure as well as its looks. One-year warranty.

Speaker and microphone repair

A phone you can’t hear, or be heard on, is barely a phone. Muffled earpieces, buzzing loudspeakers and microphones that record silence are all component swaps our technicians make routinely, with the audio checked on a live call before hand-back. One-year warranty.

Software faults and diagnostics

When a handset freezes, restarts itself or turned strange after an update, the hardware is often innocent. Diagnostics come first at every store, so the actual cause is identified before any part is proposed — and software-level fixes are carried out with your data kept intact wherever possible.

Phone repair cost: the quote always comes first

Three things decide what a phone repair costs: the brand, the model and the fault. What never changes is the order of events — the handset is assessed, you get a figure, and nothing happens until you’ve agreed to it. What you agree to at the counter is exactly what you pay when you collect.

For a quick estimate, put your model through the online booking tool or simply describe the fault to the team at your local branch.

One standard, wherever you walk in

The hard part of running ten repair stores isn’t opening them — it’s making sure the tenth is as good as the first. We’re an award-winning repair business with over 20,000 repairs completed across the network, and the way that’s achieved is deliberately unexciting: every technician trained to the same level, the same quality of component in every branch, and one written warranty that any store will honour, regardless of where the work was done.

We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Our phone repair warranty

Phone screen repairs

Lifetime warranty

Whichever brand and whichever branch — every screen we fit stays under warranty for the whole time you own that handset.

All other phone repairs

One-year warranty

Batteries, charging ports, cameras, back glass and housings, audio components, and water damage assessment and repair.

The warranty follows the repair, not the store — claim at whichever branch suits you. It covers the fault we fixed, not new damage or later liquid exposure; full terms on our warranty page.

Phone repair FAQs

How long does a phone repair take?

For the everyday faults — screens, batteries, charging ports — the answer at every branch is usually “today”, and often within a couple of hours. Water damage treatment and board-level work run longer. You’ll always be given a realistic timeframe with the quote, before anything is opened.

Do I need to book a phone repair in advance?

No — all ten stores take walk-ins throughout their opening hours. Booking online has one advantage: your time slot is held and the part your handset needs is set aside before you get here.

Which phone brands do you repair?

iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola, Huawei, Honor, Oppo, OnePlus, Lenovo and Nokia — the same ten makes at every branch. If yours isn’t listed, ask anyway: the only real question is usually whether the part can be sourced.

Do you repair Android phones as well as iPhones?

Both, in roughly equal measure — an Android handset is as at home on our benches as an iPhone. Apple, Samsung, Pixel and Motorola owners can also dig into the dedicated iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel and Motorola repair pages.

What warranty comes with a phone repair?

A lifetime warranty on screen repairs and twelve months on everything else, honoured at any branch in the network — where you claim doesn’t have to be where the repair was done. The cover applies to the repaired fault rather than to new damage; full terms are on our warranty page.

Are your phone repairs insurance approved?

We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider. That approval covers all ten stores.

Is my data safe during a phone repair?

A hardware repair doesn’t involve your files — a screen or battery swap leaves your data untouched, and nobody goes looking through your phone. A fresh backup before any repair is still sensible practice, particularly for water damage, where the hardware’s condition can’t be promised in advance.

Is it worth repairing my phone, or should I just replace it?

More often than people expect, repairing wins. A new screen or battery costs a fraction of a new handset, keeps your setup and data exactly as they are, and — with our warranty behind it — removes the gamble. Where a repair genuinely isn’t economic for your model, we’ll tell you so at the quote stage rather than take your money.

My phone got wet — what should I do first?

Switch it off and leave the charger alone — powering a wet board is how small problems become fatal ones. Then get it to your nearest branch quickly. Skip the rice: it does little beyond delaying proper treatment while corrosion spreads.

Where is my nearest store?

We’re in Bournemouth, Colchester, Farringdon, Glasgow, Norwich, Romford, Stoke-on-Trent, Surrey Quays, Whetstone and Wolverhampton. Each branch page lists its address, contact details and hours, and the store locator will find the closest one to you.
