Reviewed, sourced guidance
Compare a screen repair price for the exact model
Direct answer
Ask for a written total for the exact model and screen repair, including the part description, diagnosis, any call-out or delivery, VAT treatment and what happens if extra damage is found. Published examples are provider-specific, not a UK average.
A starting price is not a quote for every phone or screen. Match the model and job before comparing totals.
Key takeaways
- Match the exact model and repair scope first.
- Separate a published starting price from a written quote.
- Ask what part, labour and route the total covers.
- Do not treat one provider’s figure as a national benchmark.
Treat published prices as provider examples
On 28 September 2026, Fonehouse displayed screen repairs from £65 on its repair page. This is that provider’s published starting figure, not a typical UK screen-repair price.
EE showed model-specific screen-repair prices and described its prices as guides. The amount for another model or repair route may differ.

Ask for the amount payable for your repair
Ask whether the total includes the screen part, fitting, VAT, diagnosis, collection or delivery, and any return visit.
Ask how the provider will get approval if the screen is not the only damaged component. Keep the revised amount and scope in writing.
Next steps
- Compare matched written totals rather than unrelated starting prices.
- Check the part description and warranty terms before accepting.
