Most Requested Jobs

What Kata customers usually come in for

These are the repair types where the trip from Kata most often makes clear sense.

📱

Screen repair

Cracked or black display after a drop around the hotel, beach, or transfer day. Often the cleanest same-day repair.

From ฿1,200 See screen pricing
🔋

Battery replacement

For older iPhones that are draining too fast or shutting down while people are moving around the island all day.

From ฿800 See battery pricing
🌊

Water damage triage

Pool drops, rain, and sea exposure need the fastest path. This is where waiting is usually the mistake.

From ฿1,500 See water damage service

Planning from Kata

The trip is usually worth it when the repair is clear and timeboxed

A lot of location pages fail because they pretend the workshop is next door. The better answer is to be honest: the workshop is in Patong, but the trip from Kata is usually short enough that screen and battery jobs still make sense in a normal day.

The best workflow is simple. Send the model and fault first, get the likely bench time confirmed, then travel once you know whether the repair is a routine stop, a diagnostic case, or an urgent water-damage run.

Typical scenarios where travelling from Kata makes sense

  • Cracked screen that is still otherwise a routine same-day repair
  • Battery that is ruining a holiday or work day but the phone is otherwise healthy
  • Water exposure where delay is clearly the bigger risk than travel
