If your computer has stopped working, the first question is usually the same: how much is this going to cost? The honest answer is that PC repair cost in Dublin depends on what’s wrong, whether parts are needed and how long the job takes. This guide explains what drives the price so you know what to expect before you book.
What affects the price of a PC repair?
Most repairs come down to three things:
- Diagnosis. Finding the cause is often the hardest part. A PC that won’t boot could have a failed power supply, a loose cable, bad RAM or a corrupted Windows install.
- Labour. Simple fixes such as reseating components or cleaning out dust take minutes. Reinstalling Windows, recovering data or rebuilding a system takes much longer.
- Parts. If a component has failed, such as a hard drive, power supply or graphics card, the cost of the replacement part is added on top.
Typical repair jobs
Common jobs we see in our Dublin workshop include:
- Slow PCs and laptops that need a clean-up, an SSD upgrade or more RAM
- Virus and malware removal
- Computers that won’t turn on or keep restarting
- Overheating and loud fans
- Failed hard drives and data recovery
- Windows problems, blue screens and failed updates
- GPU, power supply and other hardware upgrades

Don’t forget the hidden costs
Dropping a PC to a shop and collecting it again takes time, and for a desktop you may need a car. That’s why we offer free pickup and delivery anywhere in Dublin. We collect your computer, repair it and bring it back to your door.
Is it worth repairing an old PC?
Often, yes. A failing hard drive, a tired power supply or a cheap SSD upgrade can give an older machine years of extra life for far less than a new computer. If a repair wouldn’t be good value, we’ll tell you, and if you’d rather start fresh we can help with a custom PC build.
