TechGuy Wadebridge - Monday Hours & Bank Holiday Reminder
​Friendly reminder to all our customers: we are closed on Mondays, including Bank Holidays!
​If you see someone inside the shop on a Monday, please note that we aren't open for walk-ins or repairs. Mondays are reserved for catching up on admin, preparing stock, placing orders, and getting everything ready to serve you best during the week. It’s also our chance to catch a few hours of downtime on a Bank Holiday!
​We always go above and beyond for our customers whenever possible—just yesterday morning (Sunday), we opened up at 9:30 AM to help a customer retrieve urgent train tickets from their phone. However, we kindly ask for respect regarding our standard closing hours and days off. Banging on the door or being demanding while we are closed won't result in immediate service.
​Thankyou​ to everyone for your continued understanding, respect, and support! We look forward to welcoming you during our regular business hours starting tomorrow.

Just a reminder we are closing at 1PM today due to a hospital appointment. Back open as normal tomorrow Thanks

🚨 To our loyal community: A quick update from the shop 🚨
Running a small local business comes with incredible highs, but days like today test every bit of our resolve.
Margins in our industry are tight, but dealing with deliberate fraud is a massive blow. When someone sells a device to an independent shop like ours, they provide full ID, sign a legally binding contract confirming ownership, and explicitly declare the phone will not be reported lost or stolen. We also run full verification and status checks on every device at the time of purchase to ensure everything is completely legitimate.
Yet today, a customer did exactly that—reporting a £740 device stolen after taking our cash. Because of their actions, the phone is now blacklisted on all networks and completely unusable.
Here is what happens behind the scenes when people try this:
👮 Police Reports Filed: As a legitimate business, handling blacklisted goods is immediately reported to the police as fraud and theft by deception.
📑 Network Fraud Investigations: The network provider is notified directly of insurance/fraud claims, backed by signed contracts, seller ID, verification check records, and clear CCTV footage of the transaction.
⚖️ Legal Action: Getting the £740 back is rarely quick, but the paper trail and high-definition video evidence ensure it won't just get forgotten.
Small local businesses work tirelessly to serve their community with honest service. Taking a hit like this hurts.
To the overwhelming majority of fantastic, loyal customers who support local trade every day—thank you.
To the handful who try to scam small shops: every transaction is tracked, documented, and reported.

SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Why are we shut on Mondays? 📱🔧

​I've been asked a few times recently about our Monday hours, so I thought I’d share a quick update!

​I’m actually working every Monday—just by appointment only! (And if you have an urgent repair, I'm generally available to help out).

​Mondays give me dedicated time to repair phones, refurbish stock for the display cabinet, and handle the behind-the-scenes admin that keeps the business running.

​Today’s Monday catch-up list:

• Post Office run, sent parcels and paid money in.

• Placed stock orders with 4 suppliers

• Sorted admin with payroll, insurance & payment providers

• Quality & diagnostic testing on new screen protectors and displays

• Repaired 4 customer devices
• Logged, checked, refurbished, and put 19 phones out on display!

​Between these tasks and working late evenings from home, there’s a lot more to running Techguy Wadebridge than just opening the shop doors—and I appreciate every single one of you who supports local!

​The good news: The cabinet is absolutely crammed full of stock ready for Tuesday!

​📱 iPhones (Brand New & Refurbished – 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 & SE series)

📱 Samsungs (Brand New & Refurbished)

📱 Nothing Phones

💻 iPads (Wi-Fi & Cellular) (Brand new & Refurbished)

🎧 Genuine AirPods

✏️ Genuine Apple Pencils

…and so much more!

​🚪 Open tomorrow (Tuesday) from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Come by and say hello!

Exciting News & A Quick Schedule Update! 👶💙
​First, a quick apology for the late notice, but we’ve got a couple of upcoming early closures:
​📍 Friday, 21st August: Closing early at 2:00 PM
📍 Friday, 28th August: Closing early at 1:00 PM
​We always try to be as reliable as possible for you all, but we have a series of very important appointments coming up over the next few months that take 100% top priority right now...
​My wife and I are over the moon to share that Baby Techguy is on the way, due January 2027! 😍😍😍💙
​Please bear with me as I’m currently running the shop solo while juggling everything at home too—it's definitely a learning curve for both of us!
​Thank you so much for your understanding, patience, and continued support. Regular hours apply outside of these specific times!

You’ve heard the phrase: “Buy cheap, buy twice.”

But here’s the thing… sometimes even paying premium prices doesn’t guarantee premium quality.

This customer paid a premium price for what she was told was a high end replacement screen.

Visually? It looked fine fine.

Underneath? It was a hard OLED panel — the kind of screen that can fail with even the smallest amount of pressure. Not exactly what you’d expect when you’ve paid good money for a quality repair. 😬

So, for the same money, we’ve replaced it with a genuine refurbished screen.

HOW?!

Because at TechGuy Wadebridge, we’re one step ahead of most phone repair shops.

We refurbish screens in-house, helping us keep costs down while maximising quality. That means we can offer genuine, quality parts without simply passing inflated costs on to you.

And it’s not just screens we’re finding…

🔩 Missing screws
🔩 Screws in the wrong places
🧴 Adhesive seals not replaced
📱 Nasty aftermarket screens that simply aren’t fit for purpose (like the people fitting them)

These things might not be obvious when you pick your phone up — but they can cause problems later.

So please, be careful where you take your phone for repair. The cheapest quote isn’t always the cheapest repair in the long run.

And if someone else has already had a go…

Don’t worry. TechGuy Wadebridge can put it right. 💪📱

​Thanks as always for your understanding and support! 🙌

Prioritising Our Customers at TechGuy Wadebridge 💙

​To ensure we give the best possible service to those who support our local business, we are making a small update to our services.

​Currently we are a single manned shop, time is our most valuable resource. Moving forward, data transfers and device setup services will be strictly reserved for customers who purchase their refurbished devices from us.

​Transferring data can often take an hour or more, especially when resolving forgotten passwords or account details. To keep our turnaround times fast and fair for our direct customers, purchased elsewhere.

I apologise if you and buy a device elsewhere and come in to us for a data transfer, I simply don't have the time currently. When staffing is back to normal this is something we will happily offer again.

​When you buy local with TechGuy Wadebridge, you get full end-to-end service and support included. Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support local business! 🙌

How many repair shops should you need to visit to get your phone fixed?

Surely the answer is... just one, right?

Unfortunately, this customer had to visit three.

While we were closed, they went out of town because their Samsung's charging port was playing up. They were charged £70 for the repair, but when they got the phone back they could no longer make or receive phone calls.
They returned to the original repair shop, but were told it wasn't their problem.

So they tried another repair shop. They stripped the phone down, couldn't find the fault, suggested it was the SIM card (without even testing it with a known working SIM), and still charged the customer despite not fixing the issue.

Within 30 minutes of us reopening, the phone was on my bench. After stripping it down, the problem was immediately obvious. The previous repairer had fitted a cheap aftermarket charging port assembly, which was causing the fault.

I replaced it with a genuine Samsung charging port, and... job done.

Charging worked perfectly, and phone calls were back to normal.

The craziest part?
We were actually cheaper than the original repair shop that fitted the inferior part.

Not all repairs are equal. The quality of the parts used, the experience of the technician, and the willingness to stand behind the work all make a huge difference.

If you're trusting someone with your device, make sure you're choosing a repair shop that values quality over cutting corners.

📍 TechGuy Wadebridge ✔️ Quality parts ✔️ Honest advice ✔️ Repairs you can rely on 💯
