Refurbish. Restore. Reuse.
Give your laptops, PCs and IT equipment a new lease of life.
What Is Device Refurbishment?
Device refurbishment is the process of assessing, repairing, upgrading, cleaning and testing an existing device to extend its useful life and prepare it for continued use.
Unlike simply selling refurbished technology, RefurbPoint provides refurbishment services for devices you already own. We assess each laptop, computer or PC individually to determine what work may be worthwhile and which upgrades or repairs are suitable.
Our laptop refurbishment service can include hardware diagnostics, repairs, SSD and RAM upgrades, cleaning and performance improvements. For desktop computers, computer refurbishing and PC refurbishment can help address faults, improve performance and prepare suitable equipment for continued use.
Laptop refurbishing can be particularly useful when an existing device is still suitable for its intended purpose but needs some attention to restore its performance or extend its working life. Rather than replacing a device automatically, refurbishment allows you to explore whether repairing or upgrading what you already have is a practical option.
The refurbishment process varies depending on the device, its age, condition and specification. We assess the equipment first, identify any issues and recommend the appropriate refurbishment work before proceeding.
Whether you have a single laptop, an old PC or multiple business devices, RefurbPoint can help you understand whether device refurbishment is the right option.
Why Refurbish Your Devices?
Extend Device Life
Refurbishment can help keep suitable laptops and PCs in use for longer, reducing the need for unnecessary replacement.
Improve Performance
Upgrades such as SSD storage and additional RAM can help restore or improve the performance of compatible devices.
Reduce Replacement Costs
Repairing and upgrading existing equipment can be a practical alternative to purchasing completely new devices.
Make Better Use of Existing Technology
Instead of leaving unused equipment sitting in storage, refurbishment can prepare suitable devices for continued use.
What We Refurbish
We can assess a wide range of technology to determine whether it is suitable for refurbishment.
Laptops
Our laptop refurbishment service can include assessment, repair, cleaning, upgrades and performance improvements for suitable laptops. Whether your laptop needs an SSD upgrade, additional RAM, hardware repair or simply needs to be cleaned and prepared for continued use, we can assess what is practical for the device.
Desktop PCs
Our PC refurbishment service covers hardware assessment, upgrades, cleaning, repair and preparation for continued use. We assess the condition and specification of each computer before recommending the most suitable refurbishment options.
Our Refurbishment Process
01 — Assessment
We inspect the device and assess its physical condition, hardware and overall suitability for refurbishment.
02 — Diagnostics
We test the relevant hardware and identify faults, performance issues or components that may require attention.
03 — Repair & Upgrade
Where appropriate, we repair faults and replace or upgrade compatible components such as storage and memory.
04 — Cleaning & Preparation
The device is professionally cleaned and prepared for its next stage of use.
05 — Testing
We carry out relevant checks to ensure the refurbished device is functioning as expected.
06 — Ready for Reuse
The refurbished device is returned ready for continued use, redeployment or its next owner.
Business Device Refurbishment
Businesses can accumulate large numbers of laptops, desktops and other IT equipment as employees change roles, hardware is upgraded or devices are replaced.
Instead of allowing suitable equipment to sit unused, refurbishment can prepare devices for redeployment, continued use or another stage in their lifecycle.
RefurbPoint can help businesses assess, repair, upgrade and prepare suitable IT hardware, whether you're dealing with individual devices or a larger collection of equipment.
Employee Device Redeployment
Prepare existing laptops and PCs for new or returning employees.
End-of-Life Assessment
Determine whether older equipment is worth repairing, refurbishing, redeploying or moving on.
Hardware Upgrades
Improve suitable devices with upgrades such as SSD storage and RAM.
Bulk Device Refurbishment
A practical option for organisations managing multiple laptops and PCs.
Don't Let Good Technology Sit Unused
A device that's no longer needed by one person doesn't necessarily mean it's reached the end of its useful life. With the right assessment, repair and upgrades, suitable laptops and PCs can often be prepared for another user, another employee or another purpose. Refurbishment helps you make better use of the technology you already have before deciding that replacement is the only option.
What Should You Do With Your Old Technology?
Not sure whether your old laptop or PC should be repaired, refurbished, sold or replaced? We can help you understand your options. Depending on the condition, age and specification of your equipment, it may be suitable for refurbishment, trade-in or another route.

A More Sustainable Approach to Technology
Extending the useful life of technology can be a simple way to make better use of existing resources. By repairing, upgrading and refurbishing suitable devices rather than automatically replacing them, we help keep technology in use for longer. Refurbishment is part of a more circular approach to IT—giving suitable equipment another opportunity to provide value rather than unnecessarily sending it towards disposal.
