Clear scope, practical options and agreed pricing before chargeable work starts.
Common problems
Start with what you can see.

Printers, accessories and everyday device problems
Local help when your PC stops being useful
A computer problem rarely arrives at a convenient time. Whether the machine is used for work, family admin, photos or everyday browsing, the first job is to work out what has actually failed rather than replacing parts at random.
We start with the symptoms you can see, check the likely software and hardware causes, and then explain what is worth doing. You do not need to know the technical name for the fault before getting in touch.
Repair, upgrade or replace?
Not every older computer needs replacing. A sensible SSD or memory upgrade can transform the right machine, while some faults are better treated as a sign that replacement will give better value. We will explain the trade-off rather than automatically pushing the most expensive option.
Where a repair makes sense, the cost is agreed before chargeable work begins. If it does not make financial sense, we will say so.
Computer support for homes and small businesses
FixPoint supports home users and small businesses in Basildon and the surrounding Essex area. Depending on the fault, help may be suitable for a visit or may be better handled as a workshop repair where the computer can be tested properly.
Small businesses
Practical support for computers, users, Microsoft 365 and local networks.
No surprise work
We explain the recommended next step and agree the cost before chargeable work begins.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about computer repair.
How much does computer repair in Basildon cost?
Computer repair starts from £45. The exact cost depends on the fault and any parts required. We explain the recommended fix and agree the cost before chargeable work begins.
Can you help if my computer will not turn on?
Yes. A PC that will not power on can have several possible causes, including power, hardware or storage faults. We diagnose the likely cause before recommending the next step.
Can an old PC be made faster?
Often, yes. The right machine can benefit significantly from an SSD, extra memory, software cleanup or a combination of those. We will also tell you when an upgrade is unlikely to be good value.
Do you support business computers as well as home PCs?
Yes. FixPoint supports both home users and small businesses, including one-off faults and broader small-business IT support.
