The multibuy deals are valid on preowned games only. Each preowned price bracket is in a different multibuy deal (see table below). You can mix and match different formats as long as they are in the same price band.

Once you have completed your repair(s) order please use the checkout as normal and despatch your repairs to our repairs processing department along with a copy of the repairs order or a written note of the order number and your email address.

We guarantee we will remove virtually all scratches that do not reach the silver foil and will make the underside of discs look like new. However we cannot guarantee the games/­music/­data/­film will then work as especially in the case of PC games the fault may be related to something else. But you will still be charged.

The £2.99 fee is for a disc to go through the professional repair system and be posted back to the customer. It does not guarantee success if the disc is irreparable due to damage to the foil side, cracks or dents in the disc etc.

Your game will then be despatched back to you free of charge.
