Why hire a TV repair service near you?
Although you may be able to solve some minor issues with your TV yourself, hiring someone with the right skills or qualifications will ensure you get to the root of the issue straight away.
Here are some of the key benefits of hiring a tradesperson that works near you.
Expertise
An experienced tradesperson will be able to use their tools, knowledge and experience to accurately diagnose the issue with your TV and to carry out a fix that will stand the test of time.
Efficiency
The right tradesperson will be able to carry out the right fix first time around. In this way, they’ll get your TV up and running again as quickly as possible, to reduce interruption of your TV watching schedule.
Prevent further damage
Attempting to repair your TV without the right knowledge could lead to further damage, which could be costly to repair. On the other hand, a specialist will know what they’re doing, so you know your TV is in safe hands.

Even unplugged, TVs can retain high voltages. The right tradesperson will know how to repair your TV safely, without the risk of electric shocks.
Advice and guidance
An experienced tradesperson will be able to inspect your TV and advise you on the best course of action – for instance, whether it’s worth repairing or replacing your TV.

Your questions answered about TV repair
Is it worth paying to repair a TV?
Whether or not it’s worth paying to repair a TV will depend on several factors.
As a rough guide, if the cost of repairing your TV works out to be more than half of what you originally paid for it, investing in a new one might make more sense.
To give you an idea, buying a new TV costs on average £129 for smaller models.
Likewise, if your TV is over five years old, it might be worth considering a replacement. This is because the average TV only lasts around seven to ten years.
Before making a decision, always check whether your TV is under warranty – if it is, a repair will almost certainly be the better option!
How much should it cost to repair a TV?
How much it costs to repair a TV will vary depending on lots of factors, like the type of TV and the extent of the issue.
As an example, TV screen repair costs typically start from from £76. However, a damaged or faulty TV screen is one of the most costly components you can repair.
Do stores like Currys repair TVs?
Yes, Currys and other retailers repairs TVs. However, you will often have to take the device into a store to be fixed.
