How Much Does It Cost to Fix an iPhone in the UK? Every Part Explained

Short answer: iPhone repair part costs vary enormously by component and model — from around £3.47 for a cracked camera lens cover to £150+ for a flagship OLED screen. The single biggest cost driver isn't the model's age, it's which part is broken: screens are consistently the most expensive component, batteries and charging ports are mid-range, and small components like speakers and camera lens glass are genuinely cheap.

iPhone Repair Costs by Part Category (UK, DIY Parts Only)

All prices above are for the part only, bought for a DIY repair. Professional fitting adds labour cost on top, which varies by shop.

Why Screens Cost So Much More Than Everything Else

The screen is consistently the most expensive iPhone repair part, and it's not just brand markup — a modern iPhone display genuinely is one of the most complex single components in the phone, combining the touch digitizer, the display panel, True Tone sensors, and (on Face ID models) proximity and ambient light sensors into a single bonded assembly. OLED panels cost more to manufacture than LCD because they require per-pixel emissive materials rather than a backlight, which is why you'll see a real price gap between LCD/incell options and OLED options for the same model. Our Screen Grades Explained guide covers this in full.

The Cheapest Repairs Most People Don't Know Exist

A few genuinely surprising low-cost fixes worth knowing about before you assume a repair will be expensive:

• Cracked camera lens glass — from £3.47, and easily confused with a much more expensive full camera module fault. See our Camera Replacement Guide.
• Loudspeaker or earpiece failure — from £3.38, often mistaken for a more serious audio chip fault. See our Speaker & Earpiece guide.
• A worn charging port — from £4.43 on older models, far cheaper than most people assume before checking. See our Charging Port guide.

DIY vs Shop-Fitted: What Changes the Price

The part-only prices in this guide are for a self-repair. A shop-fitted repair adds labour and diagnostic time, which typically makes up a significant share of an in-store quote — DIY using the part alone is consistently the cheapest route if you're comfortable following a repair guide, while shop fitting suits anyone who'd rather not open the phone themselves.

Getting an Accurate Quote for Your Specific Repair

Prices above are typical ranges — the exact cost depends on your specific model, the screen or part grade you choose, and whether other components were also affected by the same damage. If you're not sure exactly what's wrong, our diagnostic guides can help narrow it down before you buy: signs you need a new screen, what else a cracked screen can damage, and charging problems: port vs battery vs cable.
