Local mobile phone repair shop

Essentially, Mobile opened in 2005 to provide Hobart with the best mobile phone repairs. We are still locally owned and operated and are Tasmania’s only Samsung Authorised Service Centre. We offer quality repairs to most makes and models of mobile phones and other handheld devices. So before buying a new phone, why not speak to the Essentially Mobile team?

The types of repairs we can complete include: 

  • Screen repair/screen replacement
  • Battery repair/battery replacement
  • Charging port repair
  • Headphone jack repair
  • Back glass repair/back glass replacement
  • Speaker issue repair
  • Camera repair

If you have an issue that’s not listed, please just get in touch with us, and we’ll do our best to help.


Trained technicians and quality parts

Since opening, we’ve built a reputation for the best technical capabilities. Our team of technicians are thoroughly trained and skilled in various repairs to many products, including: 

  • iPhones
  • iPads
  • Samsung phones 
  • Samsung tablets
  • Other makes of mobile phones and tablets

Quality parts

We set ourselves apart from the competition by using the best quality components and keeping parts on hand so that we can repair your device in as little as a few hours. You could drop off your phone for repair, get your shopping done and then come back for collection! We’ll also give you an accurate quote, and if something out of our control means the cost is slightly higher or will take longer than expected, we will make sure we tell you. 


Warranty

Additionally, we provide a warranty for our work so you can have peace of mind that if there are any issues, we’ll fix your device under our warranty terms. 


Component-level repairs

Essentially Mobile offers micro-soldering, or component-level repairs, to various mobile phones and tablets. This type of repair service requires specialised training and equipment to complete repair components down to the size of the tip of a pen. We are one of only a few service providers in Australia that can meet this type of repair, which can save you and the environment from otherwise having to dispose of your device. So instead, bring it to us. 


Come and see the team

Our shopfront and workshop are centrally located at 152 Macquarie Street, Hobart, and you can either contact the team in advance or just drop by to discuss how we can help.
