Turned out to be a battery which they replaced and got it working with minimal fuss.All sorted inside 2 days of it first failing. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Read full reviewDescribe how charging fails
Let us know whether the iPad reacts to the charger, charges slowly, works only at an angle or has a visibly damaged connector. If you have already tried another suitable cable or power adapter, include that information. Bring the accessories involved if the problem is intermittent.

iPad
Standard iPads cover several generations. The generation matters more than the colour or storage size when identifying a repair. Screen, connector and button arrangements differ across the range.
iPad Air
The Air family spans earlier designs and newer models with different screen sizes. Include the generation and size in your enquiry so the correct display, battery and charging options can be checked.
iPad Mini
Small size does not mean interchangeable parts. Different Mini generations use different screens, connectors and button arrangements. Identify the generation before selecting a repair.
iPad Pro
Pro models need both the screen size and generation or chip name to identify them reliably. Two iPads with the same screen size can require different repair parts and assessment.

Repair information
How your repair enquiry works
- Identify the iPad and describe the symptoms, including damage or previous repairs.
- Choose workshop, home visit, collection or postal when requesting a quote. Availability and arrangements are confirmed before proceeding.
- Review the assessment, proposed repair and quote before authorising work.
Identify the connector and the cause
Different iPad generations use different connectors and internal designs. We check the exact model before recommending work. The problem may involve the cable, connector, battery or another power component, so a charging-port replacement is not assumed from the symptom alone.
Repair options and checks
Once the fault has been assessed, we explain the proposed work and price. Charging behaviour and connection stability are relevant checks after the repair. If the device also has liquid exposure, impact damage or data-connection problems, mention these because they can change the diagnosis.
Charging and data connections are separate clues
Tell us whether the iPad charges from a power adapter and whether a computer recognises it, if you have already checked. Note whether the fault happens with one cable or several and whether the plug seats normally. Include the model rather than choosing a service only by the shape of the connector: the internal repair can differ between generations. A repair quote follows the checks needed to distinguish connector damage from a wider power problem.
Your repair questions
Does moving the cable mean the port is broken?
It suggests a connection problem, but the cable and connector both need checking. Avoid forcing the plug into place.
Can a completely flat iPad be assessed?
Yes, request an assessment and tell us when it last worked and which charger you use. The cause must be established before a repair is recommended.
Should I bring the charger and cable?
Bring the accessories involved when practical, particularly if the fault is intermittent or occurs with only one combination. Tell us what you have already tried so those observations can be considered during assessment.
Does this cover Lightning and USB-C iPads?
You can enquire about either connector type. Include the exact iPad generation so we can confirm the appropriate assessment, parts and repair options.
