Costs
What can affect the cost of a TV repair?
Every TV and fault is different, so exact costs are confirmed after inspection. Any call-out, travel and repair charges are explained before anything is booked.
The fault
Some faults are quick to fix; others need more time or several parts.
Your TV model
Parts and repair methods differ between brands, sizes and models.
Parts required
Parts such as boards or backlights vary in price and availability.
Labour
The time needed to find and fix the fault.
Call-out fee
A technician’s fee for coming to inspect the TV at your address.
Travel charges
Travel charges may apply, depending on where you are.
Repair or replace?
Should you repair or replace your TV?
It depends on the fault, the age of the TV and what a replacement would cost. A repair often makes sense when the fault is in a replaceable part, such as a power supply board or the backlight, and the rest of the TV is in good condition.
Replacing the TV may make more sense when the screen panel itself is cracked or damaged, or when the repair quote comes close to the price of a similar new TV. We’ll explain the quote so you can decide.

It depends on the fault, your TV model, the parts needed, labour, and any call-out or travel charges. We explain the applicable costs before anything is booked.

No. Parts inside a TV can hold a dangerous electrical charge even after it has been unplugged. Only try the safe checks from the outside of the TV.
