No posting your phone away for a week. No mystery pricing. Just an honest quote up front and your device back in your hand, working like new.
Why Downend Chooses Phone Craft for Repairs
Downend sits in the BS16 postcode on the north-eastern side of Bristol, next to Fishponds, Staple Hill and Emersons Green, with the A4174 ring road and the M32 close at hand. It’s a well-connected suburb — the number 48 runs a direct route into the city and the 48X takes the motorway — which makes popping into our city-centre store genuinely quick. Doing a repair in person means a proper diagnosis, an honest quote and, in most cases, your phone back the same day.
Here’s what you get when you bring your phone repair Downend job to us rather than posting it to a mail-in service:
- Same-day turnaround on most common repairs — screens and batteries are often done while you wait.
- Genuine and premium-grade parts, never cheap copy components that fail within weeks.
- A 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship for total peace of mind.
- A clear quote before we start — you approve the price first, with no surprises.
- Skilled, experienced technicians handling everything in-house at 58A Union Street.
- A real shop with a real address, rated 4.9 on Google and 4.9 on Trustpilot.
Mail-in repair services leave you without a phone for days and you never see who’s handling your device. Bringing it to our Repair Now counter means it’s diagnosed in front of you and back in your pocket fast. If you’re weighing up your options first, our guide to the best phone repair shop in Bristol explains what to look for.

iPhone Repair Downend — Every Model Covered
Cracked your screen or noticed the battery draining far too fast? Our iPhone repair Downend service covers the full Apple range:
- iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max
- iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 15 series and iPhone 14 series
- iPhone 13, 12, 11 and the X / XR / XS generation
- iPhone 8, 7 and older models
The most common jobs are screen replacements and battery swaps, both usually completed the same day. A cracked iPhone screen isn’t only a cosmetic problem left unfixed, it lets in dust and moisture and can cause touch failures, so it’s worth sorting quickly. Battery health is the other big one: if your iPhone shuts down at 30%, drains by lunchtime or feels warm, a fresh battery transforms it. Check Settings → Battery → Battery Health — anything under 80% is well worth replacing.
We also handle charging ports that have stopped connecting, unresponsive cameras, cracked rear glass, and water damage recovery. Full details and typical pricing are on our dedicated iPhone repair Bristol page.
Samsung Repair Downend — Galaxy S, Z, A and Note
Samsung Galaxy screens are among the trickiest to replace well, which is exactly why it’s worth using experienced technicians. Our Samsung repair Downend service covers:
- Galaxy S Series — S25, S24, S23, S22 and earlier, including Ultra and Plus models
- Galaxy Z Series — Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, including inner-screen repairs
- Galaxy Note Series
- Galaxy A Series mid-range handsets
- Galaxy Tab tablets
Samsung’s curved and foldable AMOLED displays are genuinely difficult to replace without the right tools and experience — a botched job leaves dead spots, lifting edges or colour banding. Our technicians replace them properly, whether it’s a shattered Galaxy S Ultra edge display or the delicate inner screen of a Z Fold. Charging faults, swollen batteries and back-glass cracks are all everyday jobs for us too.
From cracked AMOLED displays to charging faults and battery replacements, we fix it with quality parts and back it with our 12-month warranty. See our Samsung repair Bristol page for more.
Cracked Screen Repair Downend — Our Most Popular Fix
A smashed screen is the number-one reason Downend customers come to us, so it’s worth saying clearly: most screen repair Downend jobs are done the same day, often in under an hour for popular models. We keep the most common iPhone and Samsung screens in stock, and for anything less common we can usually order it in fast through our Repair Now service.
A cracked screen is easy to live with for a while — until it isn’t. Spreading cracks, black patches, unresponsive areas and “ghost touch” (the screen tapping itself) all get worse over time, and moisture creeping through the glass can eventually reach the internals. Getting it replaced early is almost always cheaper than waiting for a second fault to develop — and if the damage is bad enough that a repair isn’t worth it, we can buy the device for cash or put its value towards a replacement handset instead. Bring it in for a free assessment and a clear price before any work begins.
Google Pixel & Other Brands
We’re not just an iPhone and Samsung shop. We also repair Google Pixel 6 through Pixel 9, plus Huawei, Motorola, OnePlus, Sony and Xiaomi handsets — as well as iPads, Samsung tablets, MacBooks and Windows laptops. If you’re in Downend with a broken device of almost any make, it’s worth asking. Get in touch with the make and model and we’ll confirm the fix and the price.

Same-Day Repairs, Genuine Parts & 12-Month Warranty
Three things set a good repair apart from a cheap one:
- Turnaround — most screen and battery repairs are completed the same day, so you’re not left without your phone.
- Parts quality — we use genuine and premium-grade components, never the cheap copy screens that dim, ghost-touch or fail within weeks.
- The guarantee — every repair is backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and labour, so if anything related to the repair goes wrong, we put it right.
That combination is why Downend customers make the short trip in rather than gambling on an unknown mail-in service.
Getting to Us from Downend
We’re at 58A Union Street, Bristol BS1 2DL, in Broadmead — a couple of minutes’ walk from Cabot Circus and The Galleries. Coming from Downend is quick and easy:
By bus
First Bus’s number 48 runs from Downend (The Horseshoe) into Bristol city centre via Fishponds and Eastville, seven days a week, with a journey time of around 35 minutes. The 48X express takes the M32 and shaves off roughly 15 minutes for commuters, and the 5 “Mint” route and 49 (to Staple Hill) also link the area with the centre. Get off in the city centre and Union Street is a short walk.
By car
The road distance is about 5 miles. Follow the ring road (A4174) to the M32 and head straight into the city centre — usually 12 to 20 minutes outside rush hour. Park in The Galleries or Cabot Circus car park; Union Street is a two-minute walk from either.
By Park & Ride
The road distance is about 5 miles. Follow the ring road (A4174) to the M32 and head straight into the city centre — usually 12 to 20 minutes outside rush hour. Park in The Galleries or Cabot Circus car park; Union Street is a two-minute walk from either.
What to Bring to Your Repair
To keep things quick and straightforward:
- The device itself — plus the charger if the fault is charging-related.
- Your device passcode or screen lock, so we can test the repair properly before handing it back.
- Proof of purchase isn’t required, but bring it if you have it for higher-value devices.
We recommend backing up your phone before any repair where possible. If you’re not sure how, message us beforehand and we’ll talk you through it. Full service terms are set out in our terms and conditions.
Sell or Trade In Instead of Repairing?
Sometimes a repair isn’t the best value — especially on an older handset. If the fix costs more than the phone is worth, we’ll tell you honestly and talk you through the alternatives:
Sell your device for instant cash, even if it’s damaged
Trade it in against a new phone or a refurbished handset
Check this month’s offers or grab accessories and a screen protector while you’re in
