At The Phone Tree we ensure your device is handled with care and repaired correctly using the highest quality parts and efficiently. We provide an express service as we repair all phones ourselves in the store, we do not send any phones off so you don’t need to be without your phone for any longer than you need to be.

Our reputation is built on trust with most of our customers being return customers, we ensure the privacy of your data.
How long does a repair take?
We pride ourselves on a speedy service and most repairs are carried out within the hour, this depends on how busy we are and the time of day you bring your phone down to us. However, this can be subject to delays if there is a complication or additional parts are required. Liquid damage repairs will take longer as this type of repair is more labour intensive therefore requires more time.
Is my data safe?
It is very unlikely that your data will be lost during a repair, but as a precaution we do recommend that you back up your phone before you bring it into us for a repair to ensure you do not lose any data.
We ensure the privacy of your data, your data is safe whilst your phone is with us so you do not need to worry. We understand you may feel at unease leaving your phone with us with your personal data on it, if so we suggest you back up your phone and reset it back to the original factory settings to give you peace of mind and once the repair has been done you can restore your phone from your backup.
Is there a warranty on mobile phone repairs?
There is a 30 day warranty on most of our repairs except for liquid damage repairs because of the nature of the repair. If there is evidence of physical impact or liquid damage the warranty will be void. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for further details.
Is there a warranty on second hand mobile phones?

What happens if you cannot repair my phone? Will I still be charged?
We charge a £5 fee if we can’t fix your issue, this is for the time taken working on the handset. We charge a fee of £20 if we can’t fix liquid damage issues this is taken at the time we book your phone in for a repair, the fee is more for liquid damage repairs because it is a more labour intensive repair.

Can you fix my phone on the same day?
