How we repair your phone

Most repair shops won’t tell you who touched your phone, what parts went in, or what was checked before you got it back. We will. Every repair is done by hand in our Haverhill studio, and here’s exactly how.

Who does the work

The people at the bench, starting with me

I’m Harrison. I’ve been repairing phones since I was 15 — I’m 29 now, so that’s 14 years at it, long before Calatech existed. When we opened in 2020, that bench came with me, and it’s still where every repair gets done.

These days I share it with Fausta, our lead engineer. I trained her myself, and she’s grown into someone who does pretty much everything I do. Your repair is in safe hands with either of us.

And we don’t only fix customer phones. We repair and refurbish thousands of our own stock devices to the exact same standard, so the bar a phone has to clear to go on our own shelves is the same bar your repair is held to. That’s a lot of reps on a lot of models, which is the real reason we can tell you honestly what will and won’t fix a given fault.

The parts we fit

Four part tiers, named and priced, never hidden

Most shops fit one grade of part and don’t tell you which. We offer a range, named and priced on every repair, so you choose what suits your phone and your budget:

Genuine New
Brand-new original parts.
2-year warranty
Genuine Reclaimed
Original parts, carefully harvested from other genuine devices, then fully tested and graded.
2-year warranty
Genuine Refurbished
Original OLED panels with the outer glass professionally refurbished. The original display, restored, at a friendlier price than new.
2-year warranty
Premium Aftermarket
High-quality non-original parts, the most budget-friendly option.
1-year warranty

All three genuine tiers carry our full 2-year warranty. Premium aftermarket is covered for 1 year. Which tiers are available depends on the repair and the model. You’ll see them, named and priced side by side, on each repair page.

If a part isn’t good enough for us to fit to our own phone, it doesn’t go on the list. We’ve turned down whole batches that looked fine on paper and failed in the hand. And we’ll never quietly fit a cheaper part and call it genuine. The tier is on your quote, in plain words, before you commit.

The process

Diagnosed, repaired, tested, then handed back

1

We diagnose first

Before anything’s quoted, we check the phone over. The obvious fault isn’t always the only one. You get an honest picture and a clear price, with the part tiers laid out. No surprise add-ons later.

2

We repair it in-house

The work happens on our bench in Haverhill, by hand, never boxed up and posted elsewhere. Where a repair breaks the phone’s water-resistance seal, we re-seal it properly as part of the job.

3

We test it before you get it back

Every device is checked against the same list before it’s signed off.

Checked on every repair
  • Touch across the whole screen
  • Brightness, colour, True Tone
  • Face ID / Touch ID
  • Front and rear cameras
  • Speakers, earpiece, microphones
  • Charging and charge port
  • Battery health
  • Buttons, switches, sensors

The same checklist applies to every job, from iPhone 13 screen repairs to battery and charging port work.

Real shop, real people

A real studio with a real address

We’re not a drop-shipper or a mail-away service. There’s a physical Calatech studio at 21–27 Hollands Road, Haverhill. Walk in, talk to the people who’ll do the work, and collect it from the same place. In a trade full of faceless operations, being somewhere you can actually come and find us is the part most can’t copy.

It’s also why the warranty means something. If anything’s not right after a repair, you bring it back to a real shop and a real person sorts it. Within 2 years on genuine parts, 1 year on premium aftermarket.
