Failed data storage devices located in Bath do not need to be sent to London or to another large national laboratory for repair. As Bristol Data Recovery we are just down the A4, approximately 13 miles west of Bath. We have been providing in-house data recovery services from hard disk drives, solid state disks, camera cards, NAS systems and servers for over two decades. Please drop your data storage device off in Bristol while you pass through or post it to us. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data. If you require data recovery Bath, we provide this service covering hard disk drives, solid state disks, RAID systems, memory cards and mobile phones. The same ‘no charge for diagnostics’ policy applies to our data recovery service.
Approximately 25 minutes and 13 miles from the centre of Bath to our Bristol drop-off point; post it, or drop it off in person.
Whether you live within the city limits or reside in a nearby village or down towards Keynsham, the procedure remains the same: either bring it by to our Bristol facility or post it in fully insured.
Bath is often considered one of the UK’s most photographed cities and has received a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation because of its unique collection of Georgian crescent homes and buildings, Roman Baths and honey-coloured limestone architecture. Every year many millions of tourists visit the city to take photos and enjoy the beauty and history that surrounds them. Around 95,000 people live in Bath, the city is home to both the University of Bath and Bath Spa University and there are numerous professional offices, creative agencies and small, independent companies based here.
Due to these numbers, it seems reasonable to assume that a great deal of important personal and business data exists in Bath. Photographers who specialise in weddings and tourism shoot photographs throughout the city; university students complete their academic projects including dissertations and portfolios; architects create files for clients; accountants maintain their own client records; families keep years of family memories on single external hard disk drives. Losing access to stored information can be frustrating, and when it occurs due to failure of your computer storage media, it feels catastrophic.
Mostly no. Most “dead” hard disk drives still hold all their data, the issue lies within either the electrical circuitry, the head assembly, or the file system. All that’s needed to be done is to safely lift the data off once; something which is done daily, if not hourly by professionals such as ourselves.
We’re located in Bristol (approx. 13 miles along the A4) and we’ve been recovering data like this for our clients based in Bath for over two decades. This allows us to offer you choices: If you’re headed towards Bristol then please feel free to drop your device off here or alternatively you can post it to us fully insured. Each project begins with a complimentary diagnostic followed by a fixed price quotation. And in most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
The four most frequent types of projects we encounter from across the city:
Bath is close enough that many customers choose to simply drop their drive into us; however, sending via the postal service is also easy if you would prefer not to make the journey.
Simply contact us with the model name of the affected device(s), along with a description of how it became unusable, and we will inform you of approximately what we expect the cost to be prior to commencing any work.
Bring your equipment (device), or just the hard drive(s) if you are using a laptop, NAS or server, to our office at Bristol Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. Or send the device fully insured via the postal service.
We will review your device, typically within 48 hours, and provide a fixed written quote prior to commencing any repair/recovery services.
Once repaired/recovered, we will verify your data by comparing what has been recovered with a file listing; you may then pick up the recovered files in person, or have them posted back to you on new storage media.
Drop offs eliminate the need for posting. Many urgent recovery requests can be expedited; just ask when you call about the possibility of expediting your recovery request.

True client testimonials from our two-decade archive.
I would highly recommend Bristol Data Recovery to anyone needing a Professional Data Recovery Service. My Toshiba Laptop failed while on the train one afternoon. There was no warning and it did not get dropped. Bristol Data Recovery recovered everything from Toshiba Laptop within 48 hours. I was relieved as I am a self employed graphic designer and I had an Illustrator project on the hard drive.
We had a portable Western Digital Passport hard drive that was dead and would not connect to PC. I would like to say that the Recovery service was perfect from start to end, they managed to recover most of the data that we needed which was great.
