Do you repair anything other than screens?

Yes. 3‑month warranty on both the screen and our workmanship.

What if I don’t know what’s wrong with my screen?

Send a video or photo via WhatsApp, or drop it off for a quick look. We'll confirm if it’s likely a screen issue. No charge for diagnosis.

Loughborough has no shortage of computer repair outfits. A quick Google search brings up everything from high‑street chains to one‑man vans. But which shops actually deliver good value, clear pricing and solid workmanship – and which are living off a 1990s reputation?

Below is an unbiased, no‑fluff look at the most talked‑about tech repair services in town. We’ll cover what they do well, where they fall short, and who each shop best serves. Yes, our own screen‑only service appears too, but this post pulls no punches. Use it to pick the right repairer for your needs.

How We Judged Each Shop

Criterion	What We Looked For
Service scope	What devices & faults they do / don’t fix
Turnaround time	Typical speed, same‑day options, stock holding
Pricing transparency	Online price list? clear quotes? hidden fees?
Warranty & after‑care	Length, what’s covered, any “no‑fix‑no‑fee” policy
Customer experience	Google rating, real‑world feedback, communication
Convenience	Collection/delivery, parking, opening hours

Storm Computers (Park Road)

What they do - General PC & Mac repairs, parts retail, custom desktops, phone unlocks.

Pros:

Large workshop & retail counter – parts often in stock.
Same‑day fixes on easy jobs (RAM, HDD swap) if you drop off early.
20+ years in town; loyal customer base.

Cons:

Website lists from prices only; real quote requires walk‑in/contact.
Screens classed as “special order” – 3–7 days typical.
Storefront parking is hit‑and‑miss; paid bays nearby.

Best for: Desktop hardware upgrades & walk‑in diagnostics when you don’t mind waiting a bit.

A‑C Electronics (Market Street)

What they do - Budget‑friendly laptop repairs, phone screens, console fixes.

Pros:

Cheapest sticker prices in town on phone screens and older laptops.
Offers 30‑day warranty on all jobs.
Central location opposite the market.

Cons:

Pure walk‑in model; little online presence or booking system.

Best for: Bargain hunters with older kit who want the rock‑bottom price and aren’t fussed about long warranty or a glossy website.

Electronic Partners (National)

What they do - Mail‑in repairs for laptops, tablets, phones, drones, you‑name‑it.

Pros:

Huge national parts inventory; can source oddball screens quickly.
12‑month warranty on most repairs.
Online tracking portal – see repair status in real time.

Cons:

Devices are shipped to a central hub – 5–10 day turnaround normal.
Courier collection is convenient but adds £15–£20 to cost.
You never meet the technician; pure depot service may feel impersonal.

Best for: Rare laptop models or devices other locals refuse, and customers who are happy to box & ship.

Currys / Knowhow (Retail Park)

What they do - National chain; sends devices to regional centre.

Pros:

Recognisable brand, finance options, and extended cover plans.
Can bundle repair with trade‑in or new purchase if things go wrong.

Cons:

Highest prices in town on screens (MacBook Retina ~£550 quoted).
Two‑week+ turnaround common.
Online booking system upsells insurance heavily.

Best for: Warranty claims on devices originally bought from Currys; users who value brand security over price.

Loughborough Screen Repairs (That’s Us)

What we do - ONLY laptop screen replacements. No batteries, no boards, no phones. Screens are our obsession, not our sideline.

Pros:

Transparent price table online (from £80). No hidden fees or upsells.
Free collection & drop‑off within 5 miles of Shepshed. Evening and weekend slots available.
3‑month parts & labour warranty. No‑fix‑no‑fee.
Specialist focus = quicker installs, cleaner workspace, fewer mistakes.

Cons:

We don’t stock every screen - most jobs completed in 1-5 days, rarely same‑day.
If your laptop needs anything beyond the display, we’ll refer you elsewhere.

Best for: Anyone who wants a cracked or dead screen fixed fast, at a clear price, by a specialist rather than a generalist.

Key Takeaways

Same‑day fixes are rare – only viable if a shop has your panel in stock. Ask before choosing on speed alone.
Transparency beats tradition – older shops rely on street cred but still hide prices. Newer repair shops (yours truly) publish costs up front.
Warranty length varies wildly – from 30 days to 12 months. Always check the fine print.
Choose a shop that matches your problem – desktop upgrades? Storm. Cheapest fix for a 10‑year‑old netbook? A‑C. Screen specialist with free pick‑up? That’s us.
