Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Front Faceplate Replacement (Peeling Grips Fix)
The rubberised grips on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller are well known for peeling and going sticky. For £54.99 we fit a new front faceplate, so the front grips are like new, and test every input once it is rebuilt. Back grips peeling too? Tick the back shell as well and both are done together for £69.99. 12-month warranty. Typical turnaround is 2-3 hours.
Typical repair time: 2-3 hours

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do the front and back together?
Yes. Tick the front faceplate and the back shell and they are done as one job for £69.99, less than the two separately.
Can you just glue the peeling grips?
Glue does not last: the rubber keeps breaking down and goes sticky. A new faceplate is the lasting fix.
Does it change how the controller works?
No. Your Elite Series 2's own board, sticks and buttons go back in. Only the front shell is new.
How do I get my Elite Series 2 to you?
Mail it in from anywhere: UK orders can include a prepaid tracked label, and international customers get our workshop address and packing instructions by email. We send it back tracked at no extra charge. In the UK you can also drop it off at our London workshop by appointment.
Is the front faceplate replacement covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every repair and upgrade we carry out on a controller comes with a 12-month warranty from our London workshop, and we send photos or video of the finished work before it ships back to you.
