Things to know before you book
- A new battery cannot fix a fault on the device’s main board. If symptoms continue after replacement, further diagnosis is the honest next step — we will tell you, not guess.
- Charging problems are not always battery problems — the port, the cable or software can be the cause. If it is not clearly the battery, we check before fitting anything.
- If the device has met liquid, the battery result can be affected by what the liquid reached — an assessment comes first.
The full story on our parts and testing: the parts we use, and why · the 12-month warranty.
Symptoms: is this the right repair?
This repair may be right if you are seeing:
- Cracked or shattered glass
- Lines, flicker or dead areas on the display
- Touch not responding as it should
If you are not sure which repair is right, our technicians will confirm the fault before any work begins.
Should I stop using it?
If glass is sharp or lifting, stop using the screen and keep the device in a case or bag until the repair.
What a successful repair restores
A successful screen repair restores the display, touch and the surrounding functions we test before return.
Repair knowledge
Why did this happen?
Usually a drop or a knock — even a small impact at the wrong angle can start a crack that then travels.
Sometimes pressure rather than impact: a back pocket, a bag pressed tight, or something resting on the device.
Repair knowledge
Could a cheaper fix be enough?
If the glass is intact but the display is black while the phone still rings or vibrates, don’t book a screen replacement yet — that pattern can be a connector or board issue, and an assessment first is the cheaper way to be sure.

What happens if I wait?
Cracks tend to spread with everyday pressure and temperature changes, and broken glass leaves the display underneath open to moisture and dust. A screen that still responds today can deteriorate as the damage travels. There is no advantage to waiting — the repair does not get smaller.
