A cracked screen is the most common phone problem we see. The honest answer to "how much will it cost?" is: it depends on your phone. Here's exactly what changes the price, so you know what to expect before you call in.
What decides the price of a screen repair
Two phones with cracked screens can be very different jobs. The main things that affect the cost are:
- Your phone model. A screen for a current flagship costs a lot more than one for an older or budget handset — the part itself is the biggest factor.
- The screen technology. Modern OLED and AMOLED displays (common on higher-end iPhones and Samsungs) are more expensive than the LCD screens used on many other phones.
- How much is damaged. Sometimes only the outer glass is cracked; other times the display underneath or the touch layer is affected too, which changes the repair.
- Extra damage. A drop that cracked the screen can also affect the battery or frame, which we'd always point out before doing any work.
Should you repair it or replace the phone?
For most phones that are only a year or two old, a screen repair is far cheaper than a new handset — and keeps all your data, apps and photos exactly where they are. For very old phones, it's worth a quick chat about whether a repair or an upgrade makes more sense. We'll give you a straight answer either way.
How long does a screen repair take?
Many screen replacements can be done quickly while you wait or the same day, depending on the model and whether we have the part in stock. If we need to order a specific screen, we'll let you know the timeframe up front.

For many models there's a choice between original-quality and compatible ("copy") screens. Original-quality parts match the display exactly on brightness, colour and touch, and usually cost more. Good compatible screens are cheaper and perfectly fine for most people. We'll explain the options for your specific phone so you can pick the balance of price and quality that suits you — there's no hard sell.
Is a repair worth it, or should you upgrade?
If your phone is only a year or two old, a screen repair almost always makes sense — it's far cheaper than a new handset and keeps everything exactly as it was. For older phones with other issues (weak battery, slow performance), it's worth weighing a repair against a replacement, and we'll give you an honest opinion rather than just quoting the repair.
Don't leave a cracked screen too long
A small crack rarely stays small. It spreads, the glass can cut your finger, and dust or moisture can get in and damage the display or touch layer underneath — turning a cheap glass fix into a bigger job. If your screen is cracked, it's best to sort it sooner rather than later.
