The build time took less than a week and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Inside the case is absolutely pristine, all cables are perfectly managed/hidden.

Outstanding service. They diagnosed and fixed the problems on my PC and had it back to me within the week. I’ll always use these guys for my phone repairs as well, as they give a fair price. 10/10

Why customers choose Microsmith for computer repairs
Local computer repair shop in Newport
We are based in Newport and repair computers for customers across the area from our local workshop. Customers farther away can also request a Postal Repair; we confirm the packing and delivery instructions before the computer is sent.
Clear diagnosis before major work
We identify the fault first and explain it clearly before recommending any significant repair. You will not be charged for work you did not agree to.
Hardware and software faults
Whether it is a physical component failure or a software issue causing problems, we investigate both and advise on the right fix.
Upgrade options available
Sometimes a repair is not the only answer. We will tell you if an upgrade — such as a new SSD or extra memory — would be a better option for your machine.
Honest advice on older machines
If a repair is not economical for the age and value of your computer, we will say so. We would rather save you money than carry out unnecessary work.
Home users and businesses welcome
We work with individuals, families, small businesses, schools and organisations. Whether it is a home PC or an office computer, we can help.
How our computer repair process works
Bring your computer into our workshop and we will assess the issue. Where the fault is obvious we may be able to quote straight away. For more complex or unknown faults we may need to carry out diagnostic work first.
Once the issue is identified we will explain the problem, the recommended repair, and whether the work is worthwhile based on the age and value of the machine. You choose whether to proceed — there is no pressure.
Repair or upgrade — we will advise on the best option
Sometimes a slow or unreliable computer does not need replacing. A storage upgrade, extra memory or a system clean-up can often make a major difference to performance at a fraction of the cost of a new machine.
Where a repair is not cost-effective we will tell you. If a sensible upgrade or replacement would be better value, we will say so.
Computer repairs for businesses, schools and organisations
We do not only repair consumer devices. Microsmith also supports business, education and organisation-owned equipment. If you have office PCs or workshop computers needing repair, diagnosis or upgrade, we can help.

Computer repair questions
Do you offer computer repair in Newport?
Yes. Our Newport workshop handles desktop PC repairs, all-in-one computer repairs, power faults, Windows problems, SSD upgrades, virus removal and hardware diagnostics.
Can you help with a slow PC?
Yes. Slow computers are often caused by failing hard drives, low memory, overheating, unwanted software or Windows faults. We diagnose the cause first, then recommend the most practical repair or upgrade.
Are you a computer shop in Newport?
We are a Newport repair workshop rather than a retail computer shop. Customers visit us for computer repairs, PC diagnostics, upgrades and honest advice on whether a repair is worthwhile.
Do you repair desktop computers?
Yes, we repair many types of desktop computers, including tower PCs, all-in-one systems and office computers.
Can you fix a computer that will not turn on?
Yes. We can diagnose no-power and no-boot faults, including power supply, motherboard, storage and software-related issues.
Do you repair business computers?
Yes. We help home users as well as businesses, schools and organisations with desktop computer repairs and upgrades.
Is it worth repairing an old computer?
That depends on the fault, the age of the machine and the cost of parts. We will give you honest advice on whether repair is worthwhile — and suggest an upgrade or replacement if that makes more sense.
