When does a Service Charge apply, and how much is it?

The Service Charge covers the engineer’s assessment or repair attempt in the circumstances set out in the terms. It is separate from the price of a successful repair.

  • Headphones, DVR/camera and GPS navigation: £8.10.
  • Smartphones, smartwatches, tablets and MP3/iPod: £15.
  • Gaming consoles, PCB boards and TV/monitor: £20.
  • Laptops, desktops and Audio HiFi equipment: £30.
  • Drones/UAVs: £60.

It becomes due for beyond-economical-repair devices; counterfeit devices where parts are unavailable; cancellation after diagnosis before repair starts; rejection of a new quotation, partial repair or diagnostics; and no fault found. Applicable shipping charges are additional.

Separately quoted diagnostics or partial repairs involve additional authorised work, must be paid in full before starting and are non-refundable. A partial repair does not guarantee full restoration. Priority Repair fees are also non-refundable. See the cancellation answer for charges once work has started.
