“How much does it cost to fix a phone screen?” is the question we hear most at ART & FIX. The honest answer is that it depends on your phone and on what is actually broken. Here is what changes the price, so you know what to expect before you call.

What makes a screen repair cost more or less?

Your phone model. Newer flagship phones, such as iPhone Pro models, Galaxy S Ultra and Pixel Pro, have large, high-end displays and sit at the top of the range. Older and budget phones, such as Galaxy A and Moto G models, usually cost much less.
OLED or LCD. OLED (AMOLED) screens cost more to replace than LCD screens. Most newer iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones use OLED.
Glass only, or the display too. If the picture is clear and touch still works, the crack may be only in the top glass. Lines, black spots, flickering, ghost touch or no picture mean the display panel under the glass is damaged too.
Curved edges. Phones with curved screen edges are harder to work on and their screens cost more.
Other damage. A bent frame or a hard drop can also hurt the camera, Face ID or the charging port. We check these before giving you a price.

How long does a screen repair take?

Most phone screen replacements take 30-60 minutes, and most are done the same day. Call or text before you come so we can have the right screen for your model ready.

Will a screen repair erase my data?

No. Replacing the screen does not touch your photos, messages or apps. We still recommend a quick backup before any repair. See our checklist on how to prepare your phone before a repair.

How to keep the cost down

Fix it early. Cracks spread, and a crack in the glass can turn into a damaged display after one more drop. Water and dust also get in through cracked glass.
Get a free estimate first. You pay nothing to find out the price, and nothing is repaired until you say yes.
Be careful with DIY kits. A kit looks cheap, but it is easy to tear a cable or damage Face ID or the display while opening the phone, and then the repair costs more.
Protect the new screen. A case and a screen protector are much cheaper than a second repair.
