Every laptop job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your laptop. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most battery replacement jobs in Tollcross are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH3 — Lothian Road, Earl Grey Street, Home Street — and keep you updated by message until the laptop is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH3 postcode area. That includes Lothian Road, Earl Grey Street, Home Street, Lauriston, the King's Theatre side, Earl Grey, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major laptop brand in Tollcross: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more. Business-grade machines like Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude/XPS, and HP EliteBook/ProBook are also fully covered. If you're not sure whether your model is supported, just send us a message — almost all are.
Yes — when sourced and fitted properly. The horror stories you've heard usually come from cheap, unbranded cells with no safety circuitry. For Tollcross jobs we use genuine OEM batteries where available and OEM-grade equivalents (with proper BMS, safety certifications, and matched chemistry) where not. We never fit no-name eBay specials. Each replacement comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty and is fitted with care to avoid puncturing or short-circuiting the cells.
Yes — and we'd encourage you to bring it in soon rather than later. Swelling is a sign the lithium cells inside have started decomposing, and a bulging pack pressing on the laptop chassis can crack the screen, the trackpad, or worse. For Tollcross customers we replace with OEM or OEM-grade packs and dispose of the swollen one under WEEE rules. Don't store a swollen battery in a hot car or near anything flammable.
Yes. CMOS battery swaps are quick (low cost) and fix a surprising number of "won't keep time" or "BIOS reset" issues for Tollcross customers. UPS batteries are different — we work with APC, Eaton, CyberPower, Riello, and similar units, and can replace the internal pack on-site rather than you sending the unit away. For business UPS work in EH3 we book around your downtime window.
