The Detail:

This repair service is ONLY for the GHD Chronos irons pictured above.

For all other models please use the repair services HERE

The model number, S8M261, can be found on the label on the inside of the arm opposite the on/off switch and GHD Chronos is printed on the non switch arm.

This model is brand new and under warranty for 3 years starting in January 2024. Contact the seller or GHD for warranty repairs.

For accidental damage or if you don't have proof of purchase we can repair the following parts.

Damaged mains cable, broken arms, flashing white and bleeping caused by broken elements or element wires.

This model has eight wires that can break, we can repair broken wires but others can break at a later date. We will always do our best to save these irons and save the customer from the cost of a new pair but please just bear this in mind, we didn't design or make these irons.

The only things that are not included is if a replacement arm or ceramic plate is required, for example if the hinge is broken or damage has been done by the customer during a failed attempt at repair. Replacement arms will be charged at  £40. Before purchasing a replacement arm please email us with details of which arm is broken and what colour the arm is so we can check stock.

Ceramic plates are charged at £40 each and are changed only if the customer has requested them to be changed and they are badly scratched or worn. Please email us before purchasing the ceramic plate fee with details of the colour of the ceramic plate so we can check we have stock.

Other than that there are no extra costs to do a repair.

The Mk6.0 Eclipse and Platinum S8T261 models cannot be repaired (see photos above). If your irons have the word Platinum written on the arm they can not be repaired.

If they have Platinum + written on the arm they can be repaired with our GHD Platinum Plus Repair Service

The Mk6 Eclipse and Platinum models are not repairable by anyone and have been designed to be a throw away item unfortunately.

All repair work comes with a 3 month Return To Us  warranty against the same components failing again and includes a comprehensive PAT test. To see our PAT paperwork have a look at a the additional images - you will see Trevor's Certificate of training and calibration certificate.

The process for sending your straighteners for repair involves three simple steps:

Step1

Purchase this item from our shop. You will then receive an order reference number via email. If the email does not appear within a few minutes of ordering, please check your spam folder or drop us an email.

Step 2

Pack your GHDs in a jiffy bag with some bubble wrap so that they don't get damaged in the post. Try to keep the plug away from the plates as the metal pins can easily damage the coating. Include a copy of your order number (a print out of your order confirmation email would be ideal) or print and complete this PDF form.

Please see the bottom of this page for our packing guide video.

Please do not send irons in their original (heavy) boxes/soft cases or with any accessories as these increase the cost of the postage and we are unable to return them without charging a little extra for the increased postage.

Step 3

Pop the package in the post to the following address:

The Workshop
284 Newton Road
Rushden
Northamptonshire
NN10 0SY

We recommend you use a delivery service with proof of delivery or a signature on delivery, like Royal Mail Signed For or similar courier companies.

During the cold winter months your irons may be very cold when they are returned by the Royal Mail.
Please allow them to warm up to room temperature before use.

Please Note:

• We are unable to repair the GHD Mk6.0 Eclipse, Platinum S8T261 irons.
  
• We have kept the cost of this repair service to the minimum possible which means unfortunately we are unable to accept discount codes on this item.
