Are you afraid to repair your phone yourself? In this article, we will explain why repairing it yourself has many advantages and, above all, that you are completely capable of doing it!

More and more phone owners are turning to home repairs, and for good reason. There are many advantages that you may not be aware of.

1. You will save money

The first and most significant advantage is the cost of the repair if you do it yourself.

If you have ever visited a repair centre, whether authorised or not, you may have been surprised by the cost.

The price of a repair consists of two things: the price of the part and the price of labour. And as with any type of repair, labour accounts for the largest part of the final cost. If you also happen to come across an unscrupulous repairer, the bill can quickly add up!

For example, for a battery replacement, the bill can easily reach £100, while the average cost of a battery is £35.

So if you replace the battery yourself, you will save the cost of labour, which is £65 based on the example of a battery replacement.

2. No unpleasant surprises with the diagnosis

When you take your phone to a repair shop, it's like taking your car to a mechanic. You're not immune to dealing with an unscrupulous repairer who might exaggerate the diagnosis in order to increase the final bill.

In general, typical faults or breakages require the replacement of the affected part, and that's it.

At World iTech, you simply purchase the part you need, and that's it. If you have any doubts or your device does not work after repair, our customer service team is there to help you. We are experienced and usually have the explanation and solution to guide you.

3. You know what you are buying

At World iTech, we offer several versions of each product. You can choose between different prices and qualities, with complete transparency.

When you take your phone to an unauthorised repairer, you don't really know what part they will install in your phone. Again, this is a way for the repairer to make more profit without you realising it.

4. Immediate availability of parts

Another advantage of repairing your phone yourself is that you can have the part delivered to your home the very next day!

At World iTech, if you order before 3pm Monday to Friday, you can choose express delivery and have your order delivered the next day. This means you can repair your phone in just one day!

When you take your phone to a repair shop, you either have to go there in person or send your phone by post. This means the repair time is longer, and you'll have to wait about a week to get your phone back.

4. Confidentiality of your data

In order to carry out the repair, the repair technician must have access to your phone to perform the necessary checks.

Although repairers are not supposed to snoop around in your phone, be aware that your entire private life is accessible!

When you repair your phone yourself, there is no risk of a third party accessing your data!

5. It's good for the planet

And of course, repairing your phone rather than throwing it away and buying a new one means less waste! You'll also extend the life of your device. And you'll save money too.

What about the warranty?

Many people worry about losing their warranty if they repair their phone themselves.

It is important to note that the conditions for a warranty to be valid are very strict, excluding drops and natural wear and tear, which accounts for 90% of the causes of phone failure and breakage. In addition, warranty periods are generally very short.

If you have taken out insurance, it's the same thing. The clauses exclude a number of causes.

If your phone is still under warranty or insurance and you can have it repaired for free, go ahead! But this applies to very few phone owners.

I'm not a professional, I can't repair my phone myself!

The "Do It Yourself" era continues to grow. Phone repair is part of it! Leave your preconceptions behind: repairing a phone is no more complicated than assembling Ikea furniture.

Of course, you'll need to know how to do it, which is why we regularly post tutorials online for all types of repairs for all smartphone models.
