Most “broken” charging ports are not broken at all. Years of pocket lint gets pushed to the bottom of the port and compacted into a solid plug, so the cable can no longer seat properly. It looks exactly like a failed port — charges at an angle, charges slowly, or stops altogether.
So before anyone talks to you about a repair, we clean it.
You only pay if it fixes it. If the clean does not sort your charging, it costs you nothing — and we will tell you straight what it actually needs instead.
Thinking of doing it yourself? Plenty of people do, and with a wooden toothpick and a bit of patience it is often fine — we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. What we see going wrong is metal: a SIM pin, a paperclip, a needle. The contacts inside the port are tiny and they bend or short out with almost no force, and once that happens a £10 clean has turned into a £75 port replacement. Compressed air is the other one — it packs the lint in harder rather than clearing it.
So: wooden toothpick, gently, nothing metal, nothing wet. Or let someone do it who does it every day, has the right tools and a light to see down there — from £10, and only if it works.
That clears roughly 80% of the charging faults that come through the door. Pop in any time we are open, no appointment needed, and we will have it done while you wait.
If your phone only charges when the cable is held at a certain angle, charges painfully slowly, or has stopped charging altogether, the port is usually the culprit rather than the cable. Years of pocket lint, a bent pin or a worn connector all end up in the same place.
Charging ports are fiddly, delicate work — on an iPhone the port is soldered to the board and the job takes around five times as long as a screen. It is worth having it done properly.

Every port we fit is a genuine pulled part — taken from a real handset rather than an aftermarket copy — and the repair includes a new water-resistant gasket, a full phone service — deep cleaned inside and out, with the charging port and speakers cleared out, and a 1-year warranty.
Common questions
Is it the cable or the port?
Try a different cable and a different plug first. If it still will not charge properly, or only charges when the cable is at a certain angle, it is almost always the port. Bring it in and we will tell you for certain.
Why are iPhone ports dearer than Samsung ones?
Because of how long they take. On a Samsung the port sits on a small flex that comes out in about fifteen minutes. On an iPhone it is soldered directly to the logic board, which means a full strip-down and micro-soldering — roughly two hours of bench time.
Do you fit genuine parts?
Yes — every charging port we fit is a genuine pulled part rather than an aftermarket copy. Aftermarket ports are one of the most common causes of a repair coming back.
How long will I be without my phone?
Samsung ports are usually a day or two. They sit on a flex rather than the board, so it is only about fifteen minutes' work, and we keep the most common ones in stock. iPhone ports are soldered to the logic board, so they take a couple of hours of bench time and are usually same day or next. Either way we will give you a real time when you drop it in, not a hopeful one.
