Our Service

We’re an independent repair workshop with over 45 years’ experience restoring vintage and retro audio equipment. We specialise in units from 1960 to 2000, from entry-level to audiophile, and work across an extensive range of makes, models and faults.

As audiophiles and repair enthusiasts ourselves, we understand that vintage audio is about more than sound. It’s the warmth of analogue, the love of physical music, the feel of tactile controls, and the memories that make a treasured piece of equipment worth keeping.

There’s something uniquely satisfying about bringing a much-loved piece of equipment back to life rather than replacing or discarding it. With decades of specialist knowledge and a genuine passion for what we do, we take pride in preserving the equipment you love.

So whether your turntable has stopped spinning, your amplifier has lost a channel, your speakers need reconing, or your reel-to-reel has fallen silent, get in touch today to see how we can bring back the sound you remember.

Our Process

How It Works

When you enquire, we’ll provide an estimated repair cost based on your unit’s make and model, to help you decide whether a repair is the right option for you. This estimate is reconfirmed when you book your appointment.

When you drop off your unit, you’ll pay a diagnostic fee. We’ll then carry out a diagnostic check to identify the issue and determine the best repair approach.

If the repair can be completed within the estimated repair cost, we’ll go ahead and complete it.

If the diagnostic check shows that additional labour or special-order parts are required, we’ll send you a quote, and we won’t carry out the repair until you’ve approved it.

Repairs typically take 3–4 weeks to complete. This is an estimate only, and may vary depending on parts availability and current workload.

Diagnostic Fee

A £60 diagnostic fee is payable when you drop off your unit. This fee is non-refundable and forms part of the total repair cost.

Typical Repair Cost

Our pricing reflects the value a repair brings back, not just the labour involved. That’s why we base our estimated repair cost on your equipment’s market value when fully working. We group equipment into five value tiers, each with its own starting price covering the diagnostic fee and estimated labour.

Labour is charged at £95 per hour for Entry-Level through High-End equipment, and £135 per hour for Studio-Grade and Audiophile equipment.

Typical repair costs by tier:

1. Entry-Level

(turntables & speakers valued up to £300)

Repair cost starting from £250

2. Mid-Range

(equipment valued up to £600)

Repair cost starting from £345

3. High-End

(equipment valued up to £1,200)

Repair cost starting from £440

4. Studio-Grade

(equipment valued up to £3,000)

Repair cost starting from £735

5. Audiophile

(equipment valued over £3,000)

Repair cost starting from £870

All prices are VAT-inclusive

Stock parts are included in the estimate. Where special-order parts are needed, these are charged at the price we pay (including delivery and any taxes), plus a handling fee of 12.5% of that price (minimum £20), with VAT added to both. These charges will be outlined in your quote for approval before anything is ordered.

Warranty

All repairs are backed by a 6-month warranty covering both parts replaced and labour, excluding misuse or third-party interference.
