GET YOUR RIGHT TO REPAIR.

Repair denied or priced unfairly?

Check your repair rights, report what happened, and give the responsible company a chance to resolve it.

Tell us what happened in a few minutes. We check it against EU repair rules, help you document the problem, and put a clear, evidence-backed request in front of the company responsible — free, and in plain language.

Free initial assessment. No legal commitment. Your information is not published without your consent.

What a repair is worth per year

A repair you're entitled to lowers what the product costs you per year of use

Comparing the full price of a new product with a repair bill isn't fair — a repaired product doesn't always last as long as a new one. So we compare the honest way: what one year of use costs you.

Repair doesn't always win. If it costs over half the price of a new product for just a year or two, replacing can be the better deal — your case check estimates this for your situation.

Indicative market ranges and average lifetimes, for orientation only. Not a legal ruling or a guarantee of any amount.

When replacing makes more sense, we help you find and manage a refurbished or more repairable replacement — and you can trade your broken device for up to €50 via Zircls (zircls.com).

Why anonymised data matters

Every report adds to a shared evidence base. Anonymised reports help identify systemic repair barriers by company, product, category and issue type, and support better repair rights across Europe. Personal information is never part of published figures.
