Whether your phone is cracked, slow or simply old, iMobile UK helps you decide the best route: repair it for less or sell / trade in for cash. Smart, fast and eco-friendly.
Why “Sell or Repair” Makes Sense
In the UK tech market, replacing a device isn't always the best option. Choosing to repair or sell can save you money, keep your personal setup, and cut down on e-waste. Here are the main reasons to consider both paths.
Key benefits
- Maximise value: Even damaged phones have trade-in worth — don’t let them gather dust.
- Save money: Screen replacements or battery swaps often cost a fraction of a new device.
- Reduce e-waste: Repairing and re-selling helps the environment.
- Flexibility: Compare repair costs vs trade-in offers and pick what suits you.
When to Choose Repair
If your device powers on and only one component is faulty — a cracked screen, weak battery or broken speaker — repair is usually the fastest, most cost-effective choice. Repairs preserve your data and keep your device personalised.
Common repair scenarios
- Cracked screen / glass replacement
- Battery replacement for poor battery life
- Software optimisation, performance tuning, malware removal
- Camera, speaker, or charging port repairs
- Salvageable water damage
What iMobile UK offers for repairs
- High-quality replacement parts and certified technicians
- Warranty on repairs and parts
- Fast turnaround and clear pricing
When to Sell or Trade In
If your device is old, has multiple failing components, or you’re planning an upgrade anyway, selling or trading in is often smarter. iMobile UK accepts devices in many conditions — even cracked or faulty phones retain value.
What to expect when selling
- Instant online quote based on model, condition and storage
- Free postage or local collection across the UK
- Secure inspection and safe data wipe
- Fast payment — usually same or next working day
How to Decide: Repair or Sell?
Use this quick guide to choose the best option:
| Situation | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Light damage (single component) | Repair | Cheaper than replacing and preserves your settings |
| Multiple failures or device > 5 years | Sell / Trade-In | Repair costs may exceed device value |
| Upgrading soon | Sell | Get value toward your next device purchase |
| Need quick turnaround | Repair | Often faster than buying and migrating data |
If you’re unsure, iMobile UK provides a free diagnosis and honest advice on whether repair or trade-in delivers the best outcome.
