What Our Customers Say
I dropped my Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) off at iRepair Guys Marsh in Marsh and had the battery replaced in about 40 minutes for £30. The service was friendly and the quality is as good as new. Much cheaper than the Apple Store, and I could walk from Marsh to Westbourne Road without a fuss.
We needed a mobile battery fix for our team phones after a meeting in Town Centre. They turned it around quickly, with a reliable battery fix and a discount for businesses. Rapid, professional, and much more cost-effective than visiting an Apple Store.
As a student in Lindley, I appreciated the affordable price of £30 for a Galaxy A8 battery. The team explained the options, offered student pricing, and the performance is comparable to new. Beats the Apple Store on price every time.
I used the mail-in service and it was a smooth process. I sent my Galaxy A8 and received the finished battery replacement quickly, with updates throughout. Great for anyone in Brighouse who can’t make it to the store.
Same-day service meant I didn’t have to pause work. The iRepair Guys van came to our office near Moldgreen and replaced the battery on my phone quickly. Excellent for businesses that need reliable on-site repairs.
We had multiple Galaxy devices in the family and applied for a loyalty discount. From Almondbury to Dalton, the team fixed each battery issue quickly with friendly service. Our go-to for battery replacements now.

Warranty
Q:

We provide a 12-month warranty on battery replacements for the Galaxy A8 (2018). The warranty covers faults related to the replaced battery under normal use. If you notice a fault during this period, contact us and we’ll assess and repair or replace as needed to keep your device functioning optimally.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If an issue arises after a battery replacement, bring your device back to our Huddersfield store or arrange a mobile visit. We’ll diagnose the problem and rectify it under warranty conditions. Our goal is to make it right quickly and with minimal disruption to you, especially if you relied on the device for work or study.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Replacing the battery under our service does not void the manufacturer warranty for standard usage. We provide proper, safe installation and use components that comply with device specifications. If you have concerns about warranty implications, our team can review your device’s status and advise on the best approach to protect both the device and any existing manufacturer warranty.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
For Galaxy A8 (2018), the battery is a high-drain component. We ensure safe removal of the old cell, careful insulation of connectors, and secure reassembly with proper adhesive. Our technicians run battery health diagnostics, check charging speed, and verify accurate software reporting of remaining capacity to confirm the health of the device post-repair.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Battery health declines with age and usage. Over time, cells lose capacity and the device reports faster drain. High screen-on time, background apps, and temperature fluctuations can accelerate the effect. Regular maintenance, proper charging practices, and timely replacements help maintain performance and prevent unexpected shutdowns.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
If the Galaxy A8 (2018) battery is no longer reliable after replacement, we’ll reassess. In most cases, a battery swap restores full usability at a fraction of the cost of a new device. If there are multiple unrelated issues, we’ll discuss whether targeted fixes or a device upgrade makes more sense for long-term reliability.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
Yes. We offer multi-repair discounts for customers needing several fixes at once (e.g., battery plus screen or charging port). Our team can assess all issues during the diagnostic phase and propose a bundled solution with clear pricing. This approach saves you time and money while ensuring all components function harmoniously together.
