Cracked or faulty screens
Tell us whether the glass is cracked, the image has lines or dark patches, or touch response has changed. Panel choice and cost depend on the exact model.
See relevant repair guidance →Repair support for iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel and other popular phones, with straightforward advice before work is approved.

A phone repair should start with the exact model and a clear description of the fault, not a one-size-fits-all price. Different devices can use different screen technologies, battery designs and charging assemblies, and hidden impact or liquid damage can change the sensible repair route. Our Bristol team checks the information you provide and explains the practical options before approved work begins.
Many common repairs can be completed quickly when the correct part is available, while intermittent, liquid-damaged or motherboard faults can need diagnosis first. If you are unsure whether the device is worth repairing, we can discuss the likely repair cost against the age, condition and replacement value of the phone so you can make an informed decision.

See relevant repair guidance →Describe battery drain, unexpected shutdowns, charging behaviour and any swelling. Battery health and power-circuit faults can require different checks.
See relevant repair guidance →Try a known-working compatible cable and adaptor. If charging remains unreliable, the port, battery or internal circuitry may require diagnosis.
See relevant repair guidance →Explain which camera or audio function fails and whether the fault occurs in all apps. Testing helps distinguish settings, a component fault and physical damage.
Switch off the device if safe and do not charge it after liquid exposure. Ask for an assessment before attempting to power it on again.
See relevant repair guidance →Note whether the device vibrates, lights up or becomes warm. A blank display and a board-level power fault need different diagnostic checks.
See relevant repair guidance →Prices, turnaround, value and parts can vary by model and condition. We aim to explain the factors that matter before a sale or approved repair.
Where more than one compatible screen option exists, price is only one factor. Brightness, colour, touch response, durability and how closely the panel behaves like the original display can differ. We explain available options rather than presenting every screen as equivalent.
Most hardware repairs do not require deleting customer data, but no repairer can guarantee data preservation in every fault scenario. Back up important information where possible. We do not need banking passwords or one-time security codes, and customers should keep sensitive credentials private.
Qualifying repairs include the stated limited technical-fault warranty. New impact, cracked glass, liquid damage, misuse and unrelated faults are not covered. If the same covered technical issue returns, contact the relevant store so the device can be inspected.
We keep the process practical and make the final decision clear before you commit.
Share the exact model, what happened and which functions still work. This helps us avoid selecting the wrong repair or part.

Useful detail from an independent Bristol repair and technology team, written to help customers make a sensible decision rather than to fill a page with generic keywords.
The exact model, condition and symptoms matter. Similar-looking devices can use different parts, and a reliable quote should be based on the actual device rather than only a broad product family. For repair enquiries, describe what happened before the fault appeared, whether the device has been repaired before and which functions still work. For buying or selling, give the exact model, storage, colour and condition. Good information at the start reduces wasted journeys, incorrect parts and unrealistic estimates.
For device support, common questions can involve screen, battery, charging, power, camera, audio and board-level faults. A symptom is not always the cause: for example, a device that will not charge may have debris in the port, a worn battery, damaged connector or board fault. Inspection and testing are sometimes necessary before a final diagnosis is possible.
A reliable quotation should identify what is known and what still needs diagnosis. Prices can vary by model, part quality, complexity and hidden damage. When more than one suitable replacement option exists, we aim to explain the practical differences in quality, features, cost and expected result. The customer can then choose an option that suits the device, intended use and budget.
Many common jobs may be available on the same day when the correct part and technician are available, but this is not a blanket promise. Liquid damage, intermittent faults, board-level work, uncommon models and parts that need ordering can take longer. If timing matters, confirm availability with the selected store before travelling.
Back up important information before handing over a damaged or unstable device whenever possible. Standard hardware work often leaves customer data in place, but no repair business can guarantee data preservation in every fault scenario. Customers should keep banking passwords, one-time security codes and unrelated account credentials private. Where a passcode is genuinely required for testing, ask why it is needed and change it afterwards if appropriate.
For repairs, function testing should be relevant to the work completed. Existing unrelated faults or damage should remain separate from the repair being authorised. If diagnosis reveals a materially different problem or price, the customer should be contacted before additional approved work proceeds.
Used devices and repaired devices should not be described as “like new” unless the actual condition supports that claim. Where battery condition, cosmetic wear or included accessories vary by unit, the product listing or engineer should explain the exact details. This is more useful than applying one generic claim to every phone, laptop or accessory.
Selected refurbished devices can go through a broader quality inspection covering relevant functions, but the checklist does not replace the individual product description. Condition grade, battery information, warranty terms and included accessories still need to be clear for the actual item.
Phone Shop Bristol operates through two physical Fone Revive locations: 5 Union Street, Bristol BS1 2DD and 55 Gloucester Road, Bristol BS7 8AD. Repair bookings are store-specific because the branches have separate queues and stock. For a particular phone, laptop or accessory, branch availability can change during the day, so checking before travel is sensible.
The business has served the Bristol community since 2015. That history is useful because customers can return to a physical shop for after-sales support rather than relying only on an anonymous online seller. We are an independent third-party repair and technology business; manufacturer affiliation or authorised-provider status is not implied.
Qualifying repairs and products carry the stated limited warranty, with statutory consumer rights unaffected. A repair warranty is intended to address a covered technical fault with the supplied repair; new impact, cracked glass, liquid ingress, misuse and unrelated faults are not automatically covered. Product warranty also depends on the item and the terms shown at purchase.
Keep the receipt, repair reference or order number. If something appears wrong after collection, contact the original store and describe the issue before arranging further work elsewhere. Clear records make it easier to identify the original job, fitted part and applicable aftercare. If you are uncertain about coverage, ask the team before paying for another repair.

Yes. Send the exact model and fault or use the correct store booking system for a starting estimate. The final price can change if diagnosis reveals additional damage.
