Mobile phone repairer who comes to you

Phone owners who want a quick repair without a trip to the high street, plus small offices and local businesses with staff phones.

A fixed price per repair, set by phone model and fault, covering your parts cost and time. Quotes are given before work starts.

• Steady hands and patience for small parts
• Learning repair methods for different phone models
• Clear, honest customer communication

• Public liability insurance, and check whether cover includes damage to customers' devices
• Customers' personal data: do not browse their phones, and agree how you will handle passcodes
• Parts quality and warranty promises, so only offer guarantees you can honour
• Responsible disposal of old batteries and electronic waste, check what your local council or supplier requires
• Repairs can void a manufacturer's warranty, so tell customers before you start

Startup costs are typically around £500 to £2,500, depending on the tools, parts stock and phone models you plan to cover. These are estimates, so price your own kit list before you commit.

Monthly revenue is typically around £500 to £3,000, depending on how many repairs you take on and your prices. That is revenue before parts and costs, and it is an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Check public liability insurance, including whether it covers damage to customers' devices. Also check how you will handle customers' personal data and passcodes, your parts warranty promises, battery disposal requirements, and how repairs affect manufacturer warranties.
