No soldering job too small

Wire come off? Button broken? Fixed from £30.

One loose wire or a single broken button is a proper job here, priced as a small job rather than an hour of bench time. £30 when we reuse your parts, £40 when we supply a standard part. Posted in from anywhere in the UK, tracked return included.

Questions before booking

Small soldering jobs FAQ

Do you take very small soldering jobs?

Yes. Hark Tech takes small soldering jobs by post from anywhere in the UK, including a single wire that has come off a board or one broken button. Small jobs are fixed price: £30 when your existing parts are reused, £40 when a standard part is supplied. Tracked UK return postage is included.

What counts as a small soldering job?

A known, visible fault on low-voltage electronics with accessible, undamaged solder points: a wire or lead that has come off, a dry or cracked joint on a switch, jack or connector, or a standard button, tactile switch, microswitch, slide or toggle switch, through-hole DC or 3.5 mm jack, LED or USB lead that needs replacing. It does not include fault finding, damaged PCB pads or traces, USB-C or HDMI socket replacement, mains wiring or proprietary cable assemblies.

How do I know which price to choose?

Choose £30 if the job reuses what is already there, such as reattaching a wire or resoldering a joint. Choose £40 if a standard part needs to be supplied and fitted, such as a new button, switch, jack, LED or USB lead. If you are unsure, send photos first and we will tell you which one fits.

What if my item needs more than one fix?

Tell us in the booking notes or send photos first. Additional items on the same board are quoted from the photos before any work starts, so you always know the total.

What does the £15 booking payment cover?

The £15 books the workshop slot and is part of the £30 or £40 total, so you pay the remaining £15 or £25 after the work is done. You arrange and pay tracked postage to us; tracked UK return postage is included in the total.

What if the job is more involved than expected?

We stop and contact you with photos before doing anything outside the booked work. More involved board faults use the separate £40 board repair assessment rather than being added silently to this fixed-price booking. If the fixed-price job cannot be completed, the £15 covers the booked slot and tracked return.

Is the work guaranteed?

The soldering workmanship is covered for 90 days. Damage caused by pulling, impact, liquid, misuse or a separate fault is not covered.

Know what has come loose or broken?

Choose the matching fixed price and reserve the bench slot with £15. No job is too small.
