iPhone repair in Colchester — screens, batteries and back glass on Eld Lane
iPhone repair Colchester — your choice of Apple or premium parts
Most iPhone problems land at the worst moment — a drop on the pavement, a battery that can’t make it past mid-afternoon. Pocket Geek Colchester by CrC Repair® handles iPhone repair in Colchester at 25 Eld Lane, just round the corner from Lion Walk, and a screen or battery is often done inside an hour.
Our bench takes in everything from an old iPhone 8 to this year’s 17 Pro Max. For screens and batteries you pick between an affordable premium part and Apple’s own Service Pack component; we’ll price both and explain the trade-off. Any iPhone screen we fit is covered for life, and the rest of our iPhone repairs for twelve months.
We’re open 10am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday. No appointment is needed, but booking an iPhone repair online lets us hold your part.

Genuine Apple or premium — what’s the difference?
The Settings message explained. Since the iPhone 12, iOS remembers the display and battery each phone was built with. If one of those is swapped for a part Apple didn’t make, this appears: “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple display”. A similar notice exists for batteries.
The wording is about who produced the part rather than how good it is. The premium screens we fit are sharp and fast to respond, and our premium batteries hold their stated capacity — for noticeably less money.
If you’d rather keep a clean Settings screen, working True Tone and a trustworthy battery health figure, go with Apple’s Service Pack part — iOS recognises it straight away. Both options are available on Eld Lane; background on our genuine Apple parts page.
iPhone faults we fix in Colchester
Checked and priced first, then repaired in the shop:
iPhone screen repair Colchester
Shattered glass, a green or pink line, flicker or dead touch zones. The whole display assembly is replaced — premium or Apple — after which Face ID, True Tone and touch are checked. Lifetime cover; more display faults on screen repair Colchester.
iPhone battery replacement Colchester
Maximum capacity below 80%, the phone dying in the cold, or needing a charger by lunchtime. Choose premium or Apple’s cell; most are fitted while you shop. Twelve months’ guarantee — see battery replacement Colchester.
Back glass repair
A broken rear panel is sharp to hold and weakens the seal. Depending on the model, we renew the back glass or fit a complete housing, covered for a year.
Charging port repair
Plug falling out, charging only at an angle, or no response. Compacted fluff is removed or the socket renewed — a year’s guarantee.
Camera and Face ID faults
Blurry photos, cracked lens covers, a rattling camera or Face ID that won’t set up. We identify the failed part and talk you through what can be restored.
Liquid damage
Dropped in a drink or soaked in the rain? Switch off, resist the charger, and get it to Eld Lane fast. Liquid repairs are guaranteed for twelve months.

iPhone repair prices in Colchester
Which iPhone, what’s broken and the part route you pick set the cost — an iPhone XR battery and an iPhone 16 Pro Max display sit at opposite ends. We’ll give you the real figure for your phone rather than a vague ‘from’ price.
You’ll see both quotes together, and work starts only once you’ve chosen. Use our iPhone repair price checker or ask for a free look in the shop.
Careful iPhone repairs — not a pop-up job
Recent iPhones are sealed with adhesive, full of delicate flex cables and, from the 12 onwards, tied to Apple’s parts checks. Rush the job and Face ID or water resistance can be lost. We take our time and reseal every phone properly.
We’re part of CrC Repair®, a ten-branch UK business that has fixed Apple kit since 2004. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
Collection only happens after a full function check; our standards are described under high-quality repairs.
