Screen repairs are the most common phone fix — and the pricing varies more than most people expect. A cracked iPhone 15 Pro screen costs considerably more to repair than an iPhone 11, even though they look similar. The same is true across Samsung's lineup. Understanding what drives the cost helps you know whether a quote is fair.

What Affects the Price?
The type of screen technology
OLED screens cost significantly more than LCD screens. All iPhone X and later use OLED. Samsung Galaxy S-series are AMOLED. These panels are more expensive to source and more delicate to install. An iPhone SE with an LCD screen is cheaper to repair than an iPhone 13 OLED, despite being a similar form factor.
OEM vs third-party parts
Genuine Apple or Samsung screens cost more but deliver better colour accuracy, touch responsiveness, and longevity. High-quality OEM-equivalent (aftermarket) screens are a good middle ground. Very cheap "generic" screens often have inferior displays and fail faster. The part cost is the biggest single driver of price differences between shops.
Model complexity
Newer flagship phones have more components to transfer (Face ID modules, cameras, earpiece assemblies) and require more precise handling. This takes longer and requires more expertise, which is reflected in the labour cost.
Whether just the glass or the full assembly is replaced
On some phones, only the outer glass has cracked but the display underneath still works. Replacing just the glass is cheaper than the full assembly. However, glass-only repairs are more technically demanding and carry a higher risk of display damage during the process — many shops only offer full assembly replacements for this reason.
🔍 The cheapest quote is rarely the best value. A £40 screen on an iPhone 13 is almost certainly using a low-grade panel. You'll notice it in the colour, brightness, and touch sensitivity — and it's likely to develop faults within months. Quality parts with a 1-year warranty are worth the extra £20–30.
How to Know If a Quote Is Fair
- Ask what type of part they're fitting — OEM, OEM-equivalent, or generic
- Ask about warranty length — a confident shop offers at least 90 days, ideally 1 year
- Check Google reviews for mentions of screen quality and longevity
- Be cautious of prices significantly below the typical market range — the savings are usually in the parts quality
