iPhone screen replacement cost UK (2026): every model, real prices
Ask three repair shops what an iPhone screen costs and you'll get three answers — often for three different screens they didn't tell you about. The honest answer for the UK in 2026: anywhere from £70 for an iPhone 12 to £180 for a 15 Pro Max, if the shop is fitting a quality panel and telling you the price up front.
This guide breaks down what you should actually pay, model by model, and why the £45 quote on a card in a shop window usually isn't the bargain it looks like.
Real fixed prices, by model
We publish every screen price rather than quoting at the counter — the full table for every iPhone and Samsung we repair is on our screen replacement page. As a guide: iPhone 12 family screens run £70–£90, iPhone 13 £85 with the 13 Pro Max at £140, iPhone 14 £85 rising to £170 for the 14 Pro Max, and the iPhone 15 line £90–£180 depending on model.
The pattern: standard models are affordable to re-screen because the panel market is mature; Pro models cost more because their ProMotion OLED panels cost more, full stop. Anyone quoting Pro-model prices at standard-model money is fitting something they'd rather not discuss.
Why quotes vary £50+ for the 'same' repair
Replacement iPhone screens come in tiers: genuine service panels, high-grade OEM-equivalent, and budget aftermarket. The bottom tier can be £30–£40 cheaper on the part — dimmer, worse colours, weaker glass, and on newer models sometimes broken True Tone or auto-brightness. Most shops fit it silently when you pick the cheapest quote.
One question protects you: 'which screen is this, and what's the warranty on it?' A shop fitting decent panels answers instantly. We fit OEM or equivalent-quality panels and back every screen with a 24-month warranty — the longest we know of on the UK high street.
Is it worth doing? The quick maths
Take the phone's value with a good screen (check what it sells for refurbished), subtract the repair price, and compare that against the trade-in value with a cracked screen. An iPhone 13 worth £220 fixed, costing £85 to re-screen, against maybe £100 cracked at trade-in — the repair wins by £35 plus you keep your phone. On recent models the repair almost always wins; on an iPhone 8 it's closer, and we'll tell you honestly when it isn't worth it.
If the phone has other problems too — battery on its way out, charging port temperamental — fixing multiple faults together helps: the dearest repair is full price and every extra one is 20% off with us.

How much is an iPhone screen replacement in the UK?+
Between £70 and £180 at Optimise Marketplace depending on the model, fixed and published before you book. High-street prices for equivalent quality typically run £80–£250; Apple's own service can be £220–£400.
Why is my quote cheaper elsewhere?+
Almost always the panel. Budget aftermarket screens cost £30–£40 less and are dimmer, weaker and colour-poor — and most shops don't volunteer which tier you're getting. Ask 'which screen is this?' and watch the answer.
Does a screen replacement affect Face ID?+
Not when done properly — the Face ID hardware is transferred and re-seated, and we test it before return. A damaged sensor from the original impact is a different fault, and we'd tell you before doing any work.
