Which parts go into which tablet
Galaxy Tabs get Samsung’s own components. Service Pack displays and other parts come straight from Samsung, and a replacement cell is always made by Samsung too — we don’t stock copies.
The Pixel Tablet gets Google parts. It’s treated exactly like our Pixel phones: nothing aftermarket goes inside.
iPads give you a choice. On certain models iPadOS notices when a display or cell isn’t Apple-made and says so in Settings, although the quality part works as it should. Apple’s Service Pack parts avoid that note, keep battery health accurate and leave Pencil features untouched. Both options are explained on our genuine Apple parts page.
Tablet faults fixed at our Farringdon store
Each tablet is diagnosed and quoted before we start. These are the faults we fix most often on Long Lane:
Tablet screen repair Farringdon
Large panels and hard floors don’t mix. Cracked corners, fully shattered glass, lines across the picture or patches that ignore your finger are fixed with a display made for your exact model, then checked for touch, colour and brightness. Twelve months’ warranty. For display faults on other devices, see screen repair Farringdon.
Tablet battery replacement Farringdon
A tablet that dies halfway through a presentation, turns off at 15% or only works on the charger usually has a spent battery. We keep cells for a wide range of models and can often fit one the same day. Twelve months’ cover — see battery replacement Farringdon.
Charging sockets
Tablets get charged in bags, on trains and at desks, so their sockets wear. Whether the plug feels slack, charging keeps cutting out or nothing happens at all, we clear the socket or fit a replacement. Covered for a year.
Rear panels and warped frames
Thin tablets such as the Galaxy Tab S or iPad Pro can bend in a fall, and a warped frame presses on the screen. We fit new back panels and repair or replace housings on supported models, backed for a year.
Camera and audio faults
Cracked camera glass, a selfie camera stuck on black during video calls, distorted speakers or a microphone that colleagues can’t hear — familiar faults across the brands we repair. One-year warranty.
Buttons, headphone jacks and keyboards
Stiff power buttons, unresponsive volume keys and worn headphone sockets, plus the Pencil charging strip and Smart Connector on iPads. We locate the fault and explain the repair before starting. Twelve months’ cover.
Spills and liquid damage
Tablets rarely shrug off a knocked-over drink. Power it down, skip the charging cable and head to EC1 promptly — the faster it’s opened and cleaned, the more can be saved.
Slow, freezing or crashing
Lag, freezes, random restarts or problems that began after an update may well be software. A full diagnostic comes before any new part, and your data is protected wherever possible.
Tablet brands we repair in Farringdon
This year’s releases and well-used workhorses alike:

Tablet repair prices in Farringdon
Four things shape the cost: brand, exact model, what’s wrong and, with an iPad, whether you opt for Apple’s own parts. Each tablet is quoted individually, and what you agree before we start is exactly what you’ll be charged.
Our online quote and booking page gives a guide figure, or a technician on Long Lane can check the tablet free of charge.
Tablet repairs by trained technicians — not a pop-up job
Tablets are glued shut and packed with fragile flex cables, so prising one open without damaging the replacement panel is a skill in itself. A bargain repair may look perfect at the counter and lose touch sensitivity a month on, leaving you nowhere to complain.
Our Farringdon branch belongs to CrC Repair®, which runs ten stores across the UK: qualified staff, properly matched components and a shop on Long Lane that will still be here next year. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
Touch, cameras, audio, buttons and charging are all tested before a tablet is handed back — the high-quality repairs page explains the full process.
