While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Written by the company

The Repair Works is a specialist mail-in repair service for hair tools and games consoles, run from a workshop in Lancashire. We repair GHD straighteners, Dyson Supersonic hair dryers and Cloud Nine straighteners, alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Game Boy Advance, retro consoles and controllers. You post your item to us, we diagnose it properly, and we tell you plainly what's wrong and what it will cost before any work starts.

You post your item to us, we diagnose it properly, and we tell you plainly what's wrong and what it will cost before any work starts. Every repair is done by hand on the bench by Paul Walsh, who has spent over 25 years in electronics repair and years before that building and selling in the device trade. Your item never leaves the workshop and is never passed to a third party. Prices are published up front, so you know what a repair costs before you book. No fix, no fee — if we can't repair it, we refund what you paid. Every repair carries a 12-month workmanship warranty and is PAT safety tested before it goes back to you. We're not a drop-off counter, and we don't swap parts until something works. Plenty of good equipment gets thrown away over a fault that costs a fraction of a replacement to put right, and we'd rather fix it than write it off. If something isn't worth repairing, we'll tell you that as well. Based in Lancashire, repairing for customers across the UK.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Easy, quick, cheap and reliable service

Easy to book in repair, instructions of how to post it away were clear and I was constantly kept up to date with progress of repairs. Only thing I would have liked is to have been told what the issue was, all I knew was it wouldn't turn on! However, that is a minor detail. Overall service was great, would use again and highly recommend. Thank you.
