Serving Watford & the WD postcode area
Your Local Repair Workshop — Right on Watford's Doorstep
Mr Gadget is a specialist device repair workshop at 84 High Street, Rickmansworth, WD3 1AQ — just 5 miles south of Watford, a 12-minute drive via the A412. We are in the same WD postcode area, which means we share the same local knowledge, the same roads, and the same community. We carry out repairs on phones, tablets, laptops, MacBooks, and games consoles for customers from Watford and across the wider WD postcode area every day of the week.
Watford has no shortage of phone repair kiosks — you will find them in Atria Watford and on the High Street — but kiosks are set up for quick screen swaps, not proper diagnosis. Mr Gadget starts every job with a free, no-obligation diagnostic. We check what is actually wrong, give you a clear fixed price, and only proceed if you approve. You will not be charged for a repair you didn't agree to.
Most phone and tablet repairs are done the same day, often within the hour. Walk in Monday to Saturday, 9am–5pm, or call 01923 934966 ahead of your visit. If the drive is not convenient, our doorstep collection service covers all WD postcodes.

Customer Reviews
What Our Watford Customers Say
"Tried the kiosk in Atria first — they just wanted to swap the screen without looking at why it cracked. Came to Mr Gadget instead, they diagnosed it properly, fixed the underlying issue too. Much happier."
"Quick drive down the A412 from Bushey. Left my MacBook in with water damage, they gave a free diagnostic* and a clear quote before touching it. Fixed and back with me the next day."
"Used the mail-in service from Garston. They collected Monday, fixed the PS5 disc drive, and it was back by Wednesday. Brilliant — saves the trip entirely."

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Mr Gadget from Watford, and how do I get there?
We are at 84 High Street, Rickmansworth, WD3 1AQ — 5 miles from Watford, roughly 12 minutes via the A412 south. By public transport, take the Metropolitan line from Watford tube station (not Watford Junction) directly to Rickmansworth — it is just two stops with no changes. From Rickmansworth station, the shop is a 5-minute walk along the High Street. Free parking is available if you are driving.
Is Mr Gadget better than the repair kiosks in Atria Watford?
The kiosks in Atria Watford are set up primarily for fast phone screen swaps. Mr Gadget is a full workshop — we diagnose the device first, repair the actual fault (not just the symptom), and cover a far wider range of devices including MacBooks, Windows laptops, gaming consoles and gaming PCs. We also offer a free diagnostic* before any work starts, which kiosks typically do not. Many Watford customers tell us the short drive was absolutely worth it.
Can I get my screen or battery replaced the same day?
Yes — screen replacements and battery replacements on the most common models are typically completed the same day, often within one to two hours. We keep stock of popular parts for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, iPad and Google Pixel. Call 01923 934966 ahead of your visit to confirm your exact model is in stock.
Do you repair MacBooks and laptops, not just phones?
Yes — MacBook repair is one of our most popular services for Watford customers. We repair MacBook Air and MacBook Pro across all generations including the M1, M2 and M3 chip models. Common jobs include screen replacement, battery replacement, keyboard repair and liquid damage recovery. We also repair Windows laptops from all brands — Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and more.
Can you collect my device from Watford?
Yes. Our mail-in service includes doorstep collection from any WD postcode in the Watford area. We arrange a courier pickup at a time that suits you, repair the device at our Rickmansworth workshop, and return it via tracked delivery. Get in touch via phone or WhatsApp to arrange this.
Is the diagnostic really free — even if I don't go ahead with the repair?
Yes, completely free with no obligation. We assess the device, identify the fault, and give you a clear fixed price. If you decide not to proceed for any reason, there is no charge whatsoever. We believe this is the only fair way to operate.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty. If the same fault returns within the warranty period, bring it back and we will fix it at no extra charge — no small print, no conditions.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. No appointment is needed — walk-ins are welcome throughout the day. You can also call 01923 934966 or WhatsApp 07711 272860 to reserve a time or ask about your device before travelling.
