Building, Repairing, Upgrading and Maintaining Computers Since 1999.
Computers, Laptops, Phones and Tablets - WE ARE YOUR LOCAL TECH EXPERTS!
At The Media Shop we are proud to have been in the computer industry since 1999. In that time we have been offering a 5 star service to our customers.
We have fixed literally tens of thousands of devices of all shapes and sizes. From office computers and iPhones to the highest spec gaming computers, Macbooks, Galaxy Tabs and beyond.
In addition to our computer, tablet and mobile device repair service we also sell a wide range of computers, computer hardware and accessories, inkjet cartridges and paper, printers and more.
With 20+ Years in business and combined experience of over 60 years in the computer industry.
Ran by enthusiasts in everything to do with tech. Some even say that we are Natural Born Geeks.
WE ARE OPEN OPEN FROM 9 UNTIL 5 MONDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY (CLOSED WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY)
We have over 20 years experience in repairing, upgrading and maintaining all manner of desktop computers. From simple home computers to full-fat gaming rigs to All-in-1’s our experience is vast.
Virtually any problem that you might have we have already encountered many times before and have a solution for.
Does our competitor have 20 years experience repairing desktops?
I very much doubt it!
At The Media Shop we are true computer enthusiasts. Since the first days of our business we have been repairing all manner of problems to every make and model of laptop computer.
Our knowledge and experience, along with our focus on impeccable quality, allows us to perform our work to the highest possible standard.
Why would you settle for less?
We won’t and neither should you!
For 2 decades we have been repairing Macbooks and iMacs. As they have become more popular, demand for their repair has continued to increase – as has our skill in working with them.
Now we can say that we offer a complete and comprehensive repair solution for Apple devices from simple software to Logic Board level repairs.
How much does this cost you ask?
Well, it’s probably cheaper than you think!
It seems that everybody thinks that they can fix iPads and iPhones these days! That’s why we spend a good chunk of our time repairing the problems that have been caused by poor quality work.
All too often people get work done with substandard parts fitted incorrectly with a general lack of skill, attention to detail or focus on the quality of the completed repair.
But isn’t it better to go with the cheapest quote?
Absolutely not! Buy cheap, buy twice!
Android devices now make up around 50% of the mobile devices in the UK today. And with more devices comes more problems for us to fix. From Samsung tablets to Google phones – we’ve got you covered.
Many repairers just can not handle the huge variety and variation of android phones and tablets and just cannot offer a skilled repair solution – but we most certainly can.
Does your alternative option have experience needed?
We have fixed hundreds of models of Android devices!
Computer not as quick as it used to be? Not booting or maybe you have pop-ups? We know how frustrating it can be because we have all been there. But there’s no need to worry – we’ve got your back.
From installing new programmes to fixing simple software glitches and virus removal to full computer backups and software re-installations we can do it all – no worries.
Will I lose my data if i bring my computer in?
Never. We treat customers data with care and respect.
As Ellesmere Port’s number 1 tech repair centre for 2 decades we have lots of experience in dealing with soldering and board level repairs. From replacement power sockets to graphics chip repairs – we are at the top of our game.
At our shop we have a fully equipped workshop and the skills to utilise it. From soldering irons, hot air guns and heat plates to reflow machines, microscopes and sonic cleaners – we have it all.
My friend can fix computers, shouldn’t I take it to them?
No armchair expert can fix the range of problems that we can!
You know that sinking feeling when you realise that you haven’t backed your computer up and now it wont boot? Or you have backed it up but your external hard drive or pen drive isn’t being recognised?
We have a number of techniques to get back your data from simple extraction to full forensic data skims. Our data recovery service has a high success rate of over 90%. So you don’t need to panic.
I accidentally formatted my external hard drive. I’ve lost my data, right?
Not necessarily. We can usually recover your files for you!
At The Media Shop we are proud to be ran by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Our staff are through and through gamer’s to the core. They bring that spark to every aspect of our gaming and high end range of custom computers.
From planning and budgeting to build and aftercare there really is no substitute for face-to-face interaction with friendly faces who really know their stuff.
Can your online supplier listen to your needs?
I don’t think so! But we will.
Even in today’s world where small and portable is king, the humble desktop has not had its day. There is just no substitute for a ‘proper’ computer. IMO they still represent the best combination of durability, usability and value for money.
We custom build each one of our bespoke machines to order based on the requirements and budgets of our customer.
Does your alternative option have experience needed?
We have fixed hundreds of models of Android devices!
When repairing your faulty laptop is not economically viable, or if you just fancy a new machine, we offer a wide range of new and reconditioned laptops for you to choose from. And we can even trade in your broken laptop.
From cheap everyday computers to high spec super fast ones and Macbooks at The Media Shop we always have a wide selection on the shelf and ready to go.
I don’t want to fix my computer because its a few years old – is it just scrap?
No, we will make you a trade in value against a replacement!
At The Media Shop we are proud to offer a totally free diagnostic service. Unlike our competitors who charge for looking at a computer we have no upfront costs. We are also always happy to have a chat about your issues. It’s good to talk.
You bring it in, we figure out what’s wrong, we quote you on that work, you decide whether to go ahead. If so, then great. If not then you don’t pay a thing.
If I bring my computer to you what will you charge for looking?
Absolutely nothing! We do totally free diagnostics on all devices.
The cost of printing can often be far too high. But it needn’t be! We stock a wide range of high quality compatible and re-manufactured ink cartridges for Epson, Canon, HP and Kodak printers. As well a a range of photographic paper.
Our printer cartridges and paper offer the perfect combination of extremely high quality print quality and very good value for money.
I’d like to print my photo’s, but its just too expensive.
Our ink and paper combined reduces your costs down to a fraction!
We are tekkies through and through and we know our gear! We stock so much that its hard to list (and what we don’t stock we can get). Graphics cards and power supplies, to WiFi dongles and pen drives, to mice and keyboards.
As well as supply, we are also able to advise you on what exactly is the best solution to your current need, and your budget.
I don’t see what i’m after in your shop, does that mean you don’t sell it?
We can get you pretty much whatever you need. Just ask!
When you drop your phone in the sink, it’s not just the phone that gets the sinking feeling is it? It’s never a good day when this happens but we might be able to make it a little better. So don’t despair – turn it off and bring it in ASAP.
Water damage is a tricky one to fix, and it’s not always possible. It requires skill, specialist equipment and above all – a great deal of knowledge.
I dropped my phone in the bath, if I put it in rice it will be fine though!
No…Just no. Follow these steps Firstly, Turn it off. And then bring it in. Simple!

The Media Shop is located within Ellesmere Ports Market. We are located ‘at the back’ of the market near the entrance/exit closest to Farmfoods (York Road). If you come in from the entrance facing Asda you will need to walk through the food-court area and then turn right at the far side. It is very important that you do not confuse us with other so-called ‘repair’ shops in the market because they have terrible reputations for bad work, parts and service!

(WE ARE THE BIG COMPUTER SHOP)
The Market itself was re-homed into it’s current position around 10 years ago and is now housed in a modern, warm, well lit building and both the main market and flee market are fully indoor . Our market also has a large food-court serving a range of hot and cold food and drinks. So why not get a nice cuppa when you come and see us?
No, absolutely not. At The Media Shop we are happy to help. We believe, and always have done over our 20 years in business, that fundamental to offering a fantastic and welcoming service is to offer FREE AND FRIENDLY ADVICE. Further to this we also offer a completely FREE DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE.

That means that if you think that you need a repair you can bring it in with absolutely no fear of upfront or hidden costs. We will chat to you about the problem and your needs, then we will thoroughly test and assess your item. Once this is done we will give you a recommendation as to best way to fix the problem along with an estimate of the cost. Once all this has been done you can decide whether to go ahead with our recommended action or not. If you do, then GREAT – lets go. But if you decide not to then that’s fine and there will be no charge! For all your tech needs since 1999!
Yes! Absolutely! First and foremost we are just a good bunch of lads. We are happy to have a chat with you about pretty much anything that you might want to. It is true that we are most comfortable talking about anything and everything to do with TECH, but if you want to talk about the weather, or the football then we aren’t going to stop you :-). Come in and see why we have a reputation for being super helpful and friendly.
