Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
For the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini VE Short Battery service, the price is £20. This includes a new battery, a diagnostic check, calibration, and a test to ensure the device powers correctly and holds a charge. There are no hidden costs—what you see is what you pay. Compared with Apple Store, you’ll typically pay a fraction of the cost for a battery replacement, with the same or better service quality thanks to our local, streamlined supply chain.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Store tends to price parts and labour with premium margins and overheads. iRepair Guys operates with focused, high-quality parts and efficient processes from two local Huddersfield workshops (Marsh and Town Centre). That means far lower running costs and rapid diagnostics, allowing us to offer the Short Battery service at £20. We also offer nearby convenience (walk-in or mobile options) and a 12-month warranty, which Apple’s standard 90-day warranty generally does not match.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No. We publish the price clearly at £20 for the Short Battery service, which includes materials, diagnostic checks, calibration, and testing. If a device needs additional work or components beyond the battery, our team will quote upfront before proceeding, with no surprise fees after the repair. This transparency is part of why customers choose us over higher-priced stores.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer straightforward pricing with occasional promotions for students and businesses. The standard Short Battery service is £20. For multiple devices or business accounts, we can apply a small discount where applicable. Payments can be made in-store or through our normal channels, and quotes are provided in advance. We aim to keep costs predictable, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We source battery components to robust standards and test every unit before installation. Where possible, we use OEM-grade parts or high‑quality equivalents that meet or exceed original specifications for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini VE. Our technicians calibrate each battery to ensure accurate percentage readings, proper charging curves, and safe operation. After replacement, we run functional tests and a quick battery-health check to confirm performance.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most Short Battery replacements are completed within 30-60 minutes for in-store visits. Our mobile technicians can perform the service on-site, typically arriving as a same-day visit within Huddersfield areas. Mail-in repairs take a few days, depending on postal transit. We prioritise speed without compromising quality, so you’re back to full use quickly.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
Battery replacement does not affect device features like Face ID or system settings. We handle the procedure carefully to preserve all data and functionality. After installation, we re-check device responsiveness, screen brightness, speaker and microphone tests, and charging performance to ensure every feature remains intact and reliable.
Q:
Success rate?
We have a proven success rate of 98% for battery-related repairs across our two Huddersfield locations. Our dedicated QA process includes pre- and post-repair checks, final charging tests, and structured sign-off by a senior technician. With 8+ years’ experience and 5,000+ repairs completed, you can trust our battery work to last and perform as expected.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
We offer three convenient options: walk-in at our Marsh store (142 Westbourne Rd, Marsh, Huddersfield), where you can have a Short Battery replacement completed in about 30-60 minutes; mobile repair where our technician visits your home or office within Huddersfield (Almondbury, Lindley, Moldgreen, etc.); and a mail-in service for those who prefer courier collection. All options include the £20 battery replacement plus diagnostic checks and a warranty added to your device.
Q:
How does mobile repair work?
For mobile repairs, we schedule a visit window and bring everything needed to replace the battery on-site. Our technician will confirm device model compatibility, carry out checks, perform the battery swap, run a calibration, and test the device before leaving. This option is ideal for busy schedules in areas like Brighouse, Dalton, and surrounding parts of Huddersfield.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at Marsh and Town Centre stores, but we recommend booking to ensure minimal wait times, especially during peak periods in the Marsh and Almondbury areas. Appointments can be arranged online or by phone. For mobile services, a timeslot is confirmed after you request service; for mail-in, you’ll receive a prepaid label and rollout window once diagnostic approval is given.
Q:
Come to business/home?
Our mobile service is ideal for Huddersfield businesses and home offices across the Marsh, Town Centre, Lindley, Moldgreen, and surrounding districts. We bring battery replacements and calibration directly to your location, minimising downtime. This option is perfect for teams in Brighouse or Dalton who need devices ready during work hours without leaving the office.

If you experience unexpected issues within the warranty period, bring the device back to us or request a mobile visit; we’ll diagnose and remedy the problem at no extra charge, subject to terms. Our warranty stays active regardless of whether the original device was repaired at Marsh or via mobile service.
Q:
If something goes wrong?

We’ll re-test the device, confirm performance, and provide a new warranty for the corrected repair. We pride ourselves on rapid response and clear communication to restore device reliability.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Battery replacement by an authorised local repair shop does not automatically void your manufacturer warranty, provided you don’t damage the device further and the repair is performed by qualified technicians using appropriate parts. Always retain your proof of repair and original parts. If you’re concerned, you can check with the device manufacturer’s guidelines or contact us for precise guidance on your Galaxy S3 Mini VE.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
For the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini VE, battery replacement is a straightforward procedure. We disconnect power safely, remove the old pack, install a fresh battery, and re-seal the device as required. After installation, we perform calibration and a capacity test to ensure the battery reports correct charge levels and retains power after charging. This preserves device performance while keeping the integrity of the device.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Battery performance typically declines due to prolonged charging cycles, heat exposure, and age. Over time, capacity reduces and the device may shut down early or show inconsistent battery readings. Environmental factors such as high temperatures, frequent full discharges, or charging habits can accelerate degradation, making a timely replacement the best option for reliable use.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
For an aging device like the S3 Mini VE, a battery replacement is usually the most cost-effective option to restore usability. If other components are failing or the device shows persistent performance issues beyond battery life, we’ll assess and advise whether repair or replacement is more appropriate, always with a clear quote and honesty about long-term expectations.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If multiple issues are present, we can combine services to save time and cost. For example, a common combination is battery replacement with screen or charging port checks. We offer multi-repair discounts where applicable, and we’ll provide a clear, itemised quote upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for and how it maximises device longevity.
