Generally good place to be recommended, just in my case it was messed up a bit
Repair was good and pricing was fair. However communication in my particular case was bad and ended up disappointed.
Wrongly saved e-mail address led to me having to follow-up to get the confirmation e-mail and then again to get the estimate e-mail (after a month). Then asked them if it were possible to fix by a certain date (2 weeks time) at which I would be in London, which they aimed to do which was greatly appreciated. However, they didn't mention the shop was actually closed that day, which led to another 4 weeks delay as I was out of the country, and so on. In the end it took 2 months until I could pick it up, usually it takes 3-4 weeks in such a case.
In general I think this place is very good and can be highly recommended, with friendly staff and fair prices. It was just my particular case that was a bit of a mess. Could have been avoided if I'd been able to check the spelling of the e-mail at intake or they would've updated it after I sent them a mail asking for confirmation. However I am also aware that when they sent me the confirmation I could have double-checked their spelling of my e-mail address, it just didn't come to mind as I had gotten the e-mail.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting what went wrong. We are sorry for the confusion caused by the incorrect email address, that was our mistake, and we appreciate your patience while we got it sorted.
The repair was completed on May 1st, ahead of your requested collection date. Unfortunately, as you noted, May 5th was a UK Bank Holiday, and like many repair centres and offices, we were closed. We responded first thing on May 6th to your request to collect that day, confirming your item was ready to collect from 9am, but understand the timing didn’t work for your travel plans.
We are glad you were happy with the repair itself and appreciate your understanding. Your feedback has been shared with the team to help us improve communication around scheduling and contact details in future.

Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear the courier collection and return went smoothly and that your lens was back with you within the expected turnaround.
Regarding your note about speaking to the engineer: our technicians do not communicate directly with customers, not out of unwillingness, but to maintain the focused environment required for high-precision repairs. This ensures we can uphold the standards of quality and consistency expected of us.
If you have any technical questions, our customer service team is always happy to relay queries to the workshop and get detailed answers for you.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear the repair met your expectations, but we are sorry the timeline didn’t match what was initially advised. Delays can sometimes occur due to parts availability or workload, but we understand how important clear and timely communication is and will take this on board to improve going forward.
Totally satisfied with the whole process
Excellent job done on the repairs I requested. Turnaround time was good. A fair quote was provided quickly. The process of sending and returning the camera was easy and safe. Overall I am totally satisfied with the service and would not hesitate to use the company again in the future.

Reply from Wex Photo Video Repair Centre | Fixation
Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry to hear you are disappointed.
To clarify the history: the original repair was completed in September and the light was returned to us in December after your photographer reported it was firing intermittently. Our technician conducted extensive testing over several days but was unable to replicate the fault. As such, the order was marked “No fault found affecting the Flash. No repair action taken.”
After we communicated this, you kindly shared further details from your photographer, and our technician still unable to find a definitive fault recommended replacing the panel and main board as a **precaution**. This was not related to the original repair as no fault was identified that would be covered under warranty. However, as a gesture of goodwill, the new estimate included only the cost of the parts, with all labour charges waived.
This estimate was declined, and the equipment was returned to you on 14th April. That was our last recorded contact from you on this matter.
We understand your frustration and are sorry this experience has fallen short of expectations.
Thoroughly recommend Fixation
Terrific, quick, efficient service at a reasonable price. Sadly, following falls, I have had to use them a couple of time for repairs to my Tamron 16-300 telephoto zoom lens. Not been disappointed yet.

Brilliant and honest repair service
Brilliant and honest repair service and outstanding care for customers.
Despite being a professional photographer, I had never broken my camera before in my life. I asked for a quotation in more than one place before leaving it with Fixation.
It was the only repair service that gave me a clear and plausible quote with a detailed list of reasons for it. Then, since they had to afford less expenses than estimated, I was asked to pay £80.00 less.
Moreover, the person who served me in the shop was extremely approachable and welcoming.

Clean sensor
Sent off my Sony A7ii for sensor cleaning. There were a lot of spots. Came back dramatically improved - couldn't see any spots on my first photos.
Took less time than the window noted on their site - just 6 days, including the weekend, from me sending it, to receiving it back.

A Straightforward Efficient Repair Process
I used Fixation to repair my Nikon D500 which had developed a fault. I submitted the repair on 27th April 2025 and the camera was back with me in perfect order by 14th May 2025. I found the whole process straightforward. Printing pre-paid postage labels from DPD was also very convenient. The overall price I was happy with also.

Canon 400mm f2.8 mk2 repair
Lens is working as well as before. It took longer than expected to be repaired and there were problems with paying (I rec'd a bill for the shipping but nothing for the repair). Not having the return shipping in the repair bill meant that it wasn't paid by the insurer.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear your lens is now working well. Regarding the billing, it sounds like there may have been some confusion between the service report or estimate and the final invoice. The service report, which you received, does explain that despatch costs are not included and should be added if return shipping is required — this is noted in the email it was attached to. We're sorry for any inconvenience this caused with your insurer.
