Pricing & Warranty

Pricing & Billing

Repair costs depend on the device, model and specific issue. We always provide a free diagnosis and a clear, written quote before starting any work — so you know the exact cost upfront with no surprises.

Yes, every repair comes with a proper invoice showing the work done, parts used, and cost — including our GSTIN (07ANAPS3719F1Z2) for businesses that need it for accounting purposes.

We accept cash, UPI, and major debit/credit cards at our Safdarjung Enclave shop. For doorstep pickup and drop orders, payment can be made at the time of delivery.

No. The quote we give you after diagnosis is the final price — there are no hidden service, pickup, or delivery charges added on top.

Warranty & Parts

Yes, every repair we perform — whether it's a phone screen, a laptop motherboard, or a console part — is backed by a 90-day service warranty covering both the part and our workmanship.

If the exact issue we repaired recurs within the 90-day warranty period, bring the device back and we'll fix it again at no additional charge, provided the fault isn't due to new physical or liquid damage.

As an independent repair shop, we use high-quality compatible parts — available in premium and standard grades — rather than brand-original parts. We'll explain the options and pricing difference for your specific model before you decide.

If your device is still under an active manufacturer warranty, having it repaired by a third-party shop like ours may affect that original warranty. We'll always flag this to you before starting any repair so you can make an informed decision.

Service Logistics

Turnaround Time

Most mobile screen, battery, and charging port repairs are completed within 45–90 minutes while you wait at our shop.

Simple part replacements (screen, keyboard, battery) are usually completed the same day. Motherboard-level or logic board repairs can take 1–3 days depending on the complexity and part availability.

PS4/PS5 and controller repairs typically take same-day to 2 days. DSLR camera repairs, which often require precision parts, usually take 1–3 days.

Doorstep Pickup & Drop

Yes, we offer free doorstep pickup and drop-off for customers within approximately 5–7 km of our Safdarjung Enclave shop. See our Areas We Serve page for the full list of covered neighbourhoods.

No, doorstep pickup and drop-off is completely free within our standard service area — it's included as part of our commitment to convenient local service.

Call us at +91 99715 85123 or message us on WhatsApp with your address and device issue, and we'll confirm a pickup time.

Trust & Decisions

Data Safety & Trust

Yes. Most repairs — screens, batteries, charging ports, cameras — never require access to your personal data. Our technicians do not browse through your photos, messages, or apps during a repair.

In rare cases (such as certain motherboard or logic board repairs), a data backup or reset may be necessary. We'll always inform you beforehand and recommend backing up your device if this applies.

Toughees Telecom is a GST-registered business (GSTIN: 07ANAPS3719F1Z2) with a physical shop you can visit, a founder (Sachin Seth) who is directly involved in operations, a written 90-day warranty on every repair, and a growing base of repeat customers across South Delhi.

Repair vs. Replace

One question we get asked in almost every category — mobile, laptop, MacBook, tablet or console — is whether it makes more financial sense to repair the device or replace it entirely. There is no single right answer, since it depends heavily on the age of the device, the cost of the specific repair versus a new equivalent, and how attached you are to the device itself (a laptop with your saved work and settings, for instance, is worth more to you than its resale value alone). As a rule of thumb, if a repair costs less than 40–50% of the price of a comparable replacement, and the rest of the device is in good working condition, repair is almost always the better choice. Our free diagnosis exists specifically to help you make this call with real numbers instead of guesswork.

We look at three things during diagnosis: the cost of the repair, the overall condition of the rest of the device, and how a replacement would compare in price. If the repair is a fraction of the replacement cost and the device is otherwise healthy, repairing is almost always the smarter option.

No — this is core to how we operate. If a repair is the more sensible option, that is what we will recommend, even though a full replacement or a more expensive part would earn us more. Our reputation in Safdarjung Enclave and South Delhi depends on giving honest advice, not upselling.

Device-Specific

Mobile Phone Repair Questions

Yes, we recommend replacing a cracked screen even if touch response is unaffected. Cracked glass lets in dust and moisture, can worsen with everyday pressure, and risks cutting your fingers. Getting it replaced early is cheaper and safer than waiting until the display stops working entirely.

Not always. Fast battery drain can be caused by a failing battery, but also by background apps, an outdated operating system, or a charging port that is not delivering a full charge. Our free diagnosis identifies the actual cause before we recommend a battery replacement.

In most cases, yes. A phone that won't power on is usually caused by a battery, charging port, display cable, or motherboard component issue — all of which we can diagnose and, in most cases, repair without needing a full device replacement.

Yes, we replace cracked or shattered back glass panels on iPhone and Samsung models, along with most other major brands, without needing to touch the internal motherboard.

Turn it off immediately, do not attempt to charge it, and bring it to us as soon as possible. Do not use rice or a hairdryer — professional liquid-damage cleaning gives you the best chance of a full recovery.

Laptop & MacBook Repair Questions

In most cases, a slow laptop can be significantly improved with an SSD upgrade, additional RAM, or a clean operating system reinstall — all of which we offer. A full replacement is rarely necessary for performance issues alone.

Yes, in many cases. Liquid damage often causes localised corrosion on the logic board rather than complete destruction. Our technicians clean the affected components and carry out chip-level repair wherever possible, rather than defaulting to a full logic board replacement.

It depends on the fault and the laptop's overall condition. During our free diagnosis, we'll give you an honest opinion — including telling you if a new laptop would be a better investment than the repair cost.

Yes, we can replace individual keys in some cases, or the full keyboard assembly if the damage is more extensive, depending on the laptop model and keyboard design.

Tablet, Smart Watch, Console & Camera Questions

While not always urgent, a cracked iPad screen should be repaired soon to prevent glass fragments or dust from reaching the digitiser and battery, which can turn a simple screen repair into a more expensive issue over time.

Yes, stick drift is one of the most common controller issues we repair. In most cases, we can fix it same-day by replacing the analog stick module.

Yes, we replace Apple Watch screens across Series 3 through Ultra 2 without needing to replace the entire watch, provided the internal components have not also been damaged.

Yes, sensor cleaning is a routine service we offer for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm cameras, typically completed within a day.

Booking & Enquiry Process

To give you the most accurate estimate over the phone or WhatsApp, please share your device brand and model, a description of the issue, and how long you've been experiencing it. Photos of visible damage also help us prepare the right parts before you arrive.

Yes — our iPhone Repair and Repair Services pages include a quick enquiry form where you can share your name, phone number, device, and issue description. Our team will call you back to confirm details and, if needed, arrange pickup.

Always before. We diagnose the device first, explain exactly what is wrong, and give you a clear price. Work only begins once you approve the quote.

That is exactly what our free diagnosis is for. Bring the device in (or request a pickup) and we will give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes financial sense compared to replacement.
