Whether your iPhone screen is cracked, your Samsung battery is draining fast, or you’re simply ready to upgrade to a better device — finding a trusted mobile phone repair and sales shop in Barnstaple can feel like a minefield.
At the iLab, we’ve proudly supported the North Devon community for over a decade with fast, honest, and high-quality tech services — from iPhone and iPad repairs to affordable refurbished phone sales.
Here’s why thousands of local customers choose us first — and why we’re proud to be North Devon’s #1 choice for mobile phone repairs and refurbished devices.
1. 📲 We’re North Devon’s Only Apple Independent Repair Provider (IRP) – With Options to Suit Every Budget
The iLab is proud to be the only Apple Independent Repair Provider (IRP) in North Devon. This means our technicians are trained by Apple, and we have access to genuine Apple parts and tools — giving you a truly manufacturer-approved repair experience.
But we also understand that not every customer wants or needs official Apple parts. That’s why we offer a flexible repair solution:
-
✅ Genuine Apple repairs for warranty-safe, certified work
-
✅ High-quality aftermarket repairs for cost-effective alternatives
-
✅ All backed by our expert team and up to 2 years’ warranty
Whether it’s a cracked screen, a battery issue, or a charging fault — you’ll get the best of both worlds, all under one roof.
2. 🛠️ Over 100,000 Devices Repaired Since 2011
We’ve repaired more than 100,000 phones, tablets and laptops since we opened in 2011 — and we’re just getting started.
From Apple and Samsung to Google, Huawei and more, we’ve helped thousands of customers in Barnstaple, Bideford, Ilfracombe, and beyond with:
-
iPhone screen replacements
-
iPad battery replacements
