Printer & Photocopier Repair Services

Straightforward repair support from an experienced, independent family company.

When a printer or photocopier develops a fault, you will want to know whether it can be repaired, how quickly someone can attend and what it's likely to cost.

Connect provides straightforward printer and photocopier repairs without requiring you to enter into an ongoing maintenance agreement.

Tell us what equipment you have and the problem you're experiencing and we'll advise on the most appropriate next step.

Connect has been in the printer/copier business for over forty years and we have a wealth of experience. We are an independent family company, meaning that we are not tied to a manufacturer but have experience of many.

Our engineers support business printing equipment used in offices, schools and other organisations, from individual printers through to multifunction devices that combine printing, copying and scanning.

Where possible, we'll aim to diagnose and resolve the problem during the initial visit. Our current service performance shows that 89% of faults are fixed on the first visit.

Photocopier Repair

Connect provides responsive photocopier repair services to help get faulty equipment operational again as quickly as possible.

A broken photocopier can quickly disrupt an entire office, school or department, particularly when the device is relied upon for all the organisation’s printing, copying and scanning.

Our engineers can investigate any mechanical, print quality, paper handling and operational problems across a range of business printers, photocopiers and multifunction devices.

Whether your photocopier has stopped working altogether or has developed an intermittent fault, our engineers will diagnose the problem and explain what is required to resolve it.

You don't necessarily need to have purchased or leased the photocopier from Connect. If you have existing equipment supplied by another company, contact us with the make, model and details of the fault and we'll advise whether we can help.

If the machine can be repaired economically, we'll explain the available options. If the equipment is reaching the end of its useful working life and further repairs are unlikely to represent good value, we'll tell you that too.

What if you’re not sure what's causing the problem? We don’t expect customers to know what’s wrong. Give us as much information as possible and our team can advise on the next step.

Printer Repair

A faulty office printer can have an immediate impact on productivity, particularly when multiple members of staff rely on the same machine.

Connect provides printer repair services for businesses, schools and organisations experiencing problems with business printers, copiers and multifunction devices.

From printers that refuse to print to persistent paper jams, error messages and print quality problems, our engineers can diagnose a wide range of faults.

We'll establish what's causing the problem, identify whether the printer can be repaired and explain any work or replacement parts that may be required.

Where a printer is older or has suffered repeated failures, we'll also give you practical advice about whether further repair represents good value.

Our aim isn't to keep repairing a machine where it would be more economical to replace. If replacement makes more sense, we'll explain your options.

If a repair isn’t possible or economical, we can advise on a suitable replacement to either lease or purchase.

Need an Urgent Printer or Photocopier Repair?

When an important printer or photocopier fails, waiting several days for someone to look at it isn't always practical.

Connect focuses on providing responsive support to businesses, schools and organisations across Dorset, Hampshire and surrounding areas.

While some faults require specialist parts or further work, our engineers aim to diagnose problems efficiently and get equipment operational again wherever possible.

Our telephone calls are typically answered within four rings, helping you to get through to someone quickly when you need support.

If your printer or photocopier has stopped working, call Connect and tell us what's happened.

Printer & Photocopier Repair for Schools

Connect provides printer and photocopier repairs for schools looking for responsive, straightforward technical support.

Schools depend heavily on printers, photocopiers and multifunction devices throughout the working day.

Teaching staff may need to produce worksheets, lesson resources and classroom materials, while administration teams rely on the same equipment for letters, reports, scanning and other important documents.

When a heavily used school photocopier or printer stops working, the disruption can impact badly on class work and on the school’s administration.

Whether the fault affects a printer in an office, a shared staff photocopier or a multifunction device used across several departments, Connect’s engineers can investigate the problem and advise on the most appropriate solution.

We understand that schools need equipment to be dependable and that repeatedly dealing with the same fault isn't a good use of staff time.

If a machine is worth repairing, we'll aim to get it operational again. If you're experiencing repeated breakdowns, we can also discuss whether an ongoing maintenance agreement or replacement equipment would provide better long-term value.

Connect is an independent company, not tied to one manufacturer, so our staff are experienced with a wide variety of machines. You can trust us to assess your machine and if we can’t fix it economically, we’ll let you know. We can also offer assistance in finding the best replacement for your situation.

Business & Office Printer Repairs

Modern offices rely on printers and multifunction devices for far more than simply putting documents onto paper.

A single machine may handle printing, copying and scanning for an entire team, meaning one fault can affect several everyday processes.

Connect provides business printer and photocopier repairs for organisations requiring reliable technical support without the need to search for a new repair company every time something goes wrong.

We can assist businesses with individual devices as well as organisations operating multiple printers and photocopiers.

If you have several machines and faults are becoming increasingly common, we can also look at whether an ongoing service agreement would be more appropriate than continuing with individual repairs.

Experienced Printer & Photocopier Engineers

Connect engineers work with business printing equipment and understand the mechanical and technical issues that can affect printers, photocopiers and multifunction devices from a variety of manufacturers.

Finding the cause of a printer or photocopier fault isn't always straightforward.

An error message may point towards one problem while the underlying cause is something entirely different. Persistent paper jams, for example, can be caused by more than simply incorrectly loaded paper.

That's why having an experienced engineer diagnose the problem matters.

Connect’s experienced engineers focus on identifying and resolving problems efficiently and have an excellent 89% first-visit fix rate.

Where a fault can't be completed during the first visit, we'll explain why and what needs to happen next.

2. We'll Arrange Support

Our team will establish the most appropriate next step and put you in touch with one of our experienced engineers where required.

3. We'll Diagnose the Fault

Our engineer will examine the equipment to identify what's causing the problem.

4. We'll Repair It Where Possible

5. We'll Explain the Options

Can You Repair a Printer or Photocopier You Didn't Supply?

In many cases, yes.

You don't necessarily need to have purchased or leased your equipment from Connect to use our printer and photocopier repair service.

If your current supplier isn't providing the support you need, you've inherited existing equipment or you've simply got a machine that needs repairing, get in touch.

Connect’s staff will then advise whether it's equipment we're able to help you with.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Printer or Photocopier?

Not every broken printer or photocopier needs to be automatically replaced.

If the equipment is otherwise reliable and the fault can be repaired economically, repairing it can make good financial sense.

However, there comes a point where repeatedly spending money on an ageing or unreliable machine isn't worthwhile.

Connect can advise you on the condition of your existing equipment and whether ongoing maintenance is an option, rather than simply assuming a replacement is necessary.

If we think that a replacement would provide better value, we can also discuss suitable business printers and photocopiers. These could be either for leasing or outright purchase. We can also explain options for our comprehensive Managed Print Services.

As an independent family firm, we are not tied to just one manufacturer, so we're able to advise and supply the best machine or machines for your circumstances.

Replacement May Be Worth Considering If:

  • The same problems keep returning
  • Breakdowns are becoming more frequent
  • Replacement parts are becoming difficult to obtain
  • Repair costs are increasing
  • The equipment no longer meets your organisation's requirements
  • Downtime is regularly disrupting staff
  • You are spending significant amounts maintaining several ageing devices

Repeated Printer or Photocopier Breakdowns?

If your organisation is regularly arranging repairs, experiencing repeated downtime or operating several important devices, a printer and photocopier maintenance agreement may make more sense.

Having a Service Level Agreement (SLA) sets out clearly how ongoing maintenance and technical support is provided. Without an SLA you will rely solely on callouts for both repairs and maintenance.

Connect provides flexible Printer & Photocopier Maintenance Contracts & Service Agreements for businesses, schools and organisations.

We can assess your existing equipment and help you to decide whether ongoing cover would be worthwhile.

Printer & Photocopier Repair FAQs

How much does a printer or photocopier repair cost?

Our standard repair charge is £75 + VAT for the first hour, with additional labour charged in 15-minute increments. Replacement parts, where required, may incur an additional cost.

Do you repair photocopiers?

Yes. Connect provides photocopier repair services for businesses, schools and organisations. Contact us with the make, model and details of the problem and we'll advise whether we can help.

Do you repair business printers?

Yes. We repair business printers and multifunction devices across our service area. If you're unsure whether your printer is supported, contact us telling us the make and model. Not sure? Our staff will help you to locate this information.

Can you repair a printer or photocopier you didn't supply?

Potentially, yes. You don't necessarily need to have purchased or leased the equipment from Connect. We'll need the make, model and details of the fault to establish whether we're able to support it.

How quickly can you attend a photocopier repair?

Our current service performance shows that 91% of calls are attended within four hours. Actual attendance will depend on factors including your location, engineer availability and the nature of the fault.

Can you fix a photocopier on the first visit?

Our current performance shows that 89% of faults are fixed on the first visit. Some repairs may require replacement or specialist parts, so a first-visit repair cannot always be guaranteed.

Do you offer printer and photocopier repairs for schools?

Yes. Connect supports schools experiencing problems with printers, photocopiers and multifunction devices.

What information do you need when I report a fault?

It helps if you can provide the make and model of the machine, a description of the problem and details of any error message or code being displayed. If you're not sure where to find this information, we'll try to help.

My photocopier keeps jamming. Can you help?

Yes. Repeated paper jams can have several causes. An engineer can inspect the machine and identify the underlying problem rather than simply clearing the immediate jam.

Is it worth repairing an old photocopier?

It depends on the condition of the machine, the fault, availability of parts and the likely repair cost. We'll give you impartial, practical advice about whether repairing or replacing the equipment is likely to offer better value.

Do I need a maintenance contract to book a repair?

No. Our repair service is suitable for organisations requiring an individual printer or photocopier repair. If you're experiencing repeated faults, we can separately discuss whether a maintenance agreement would be beneficial.
