Console Repair Across Staffordshire — Every Console, Every Generation
Whether you've got a brand-new PS5 Pro, a much-loved Xbox One, a Nintendo Switch with a broken joystick, a misbehaving Steam Deck or a vintage PlayStation 2 you'd like back to life — we can help. We're Staffordshire's go-to independent console repair workshop, based in Tamworth.
We cover the whole county — Tamworth, Lichfield, Burton upon Trent, Sutton Coldfield, Cannock, Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding villages — with free local collection within 15 miles of Tamworth.
One workshop, every console
We're not a phone shop that "also does consoles" — we're a proper repair workshop with the right tools for every system. That includes a micro-soldering station, hot-air rework, ultrasonic cleaner, original Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo parts where available, and the obscure tooling needed for older consoles like Tri-Wing and Game Bit drivers.
Across Staffordshire we serve customers from Burton upon Trent in the north-east, down through Lichfield and Tamworth, across to Cannock, Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent, and into the surrounding villages.

Common faults across all consoles
Modern consoles share a few weak points: HDMI ports that get knocked, fans that clog with dust, and thermal compound that dries out after 2–3 years and causes overheating, crashes or system shutdowns. The good news is they're all fixable. A deep-clean and repaste typically takes a console from "loud and crashing" back to silent and stable in under a week.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer free console collection in Staffordshire?
Yes — free collection within a 15-mile radius of Tamworth, covering most of South and East Staffordshire. Outside that area we offer insured tracked postal repair.
How long does a console repair take?
Most modern console repairs (HDMI, disc drive, overheating) are completed within 3–5 working days from drop-off. Retro console repairs may take longer if specialist parts are needed.
Can you fix joy-con drift?
Yes — we replace the analog stick module rather than just spraying contact cleaner inside, which is the only reliable fix. We also offer hall-effect upgrade kits to prevent it happening again.
Do you repair retro consoles?
Yes — PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, original Xbox, Wii, GameCube, Nintendo 64, SNES and more. We can also recap older consoles to keep them alive for another decade.
Can you fit an SSD to a Steam Deck?
Yes — we fit upgraded NVMe SSDs to Steam Decks (LCD and OLED), clone your existing data, and reinstall SteamOS so it's ready to play when it comes back.
