Galaxy S Ultra Screen Replacement Cost UK (2026): S25, S24, S23, S22, S21 Ultra
The Galaxy S Ultra is Samsung's flagship in every sense – and its display is the single most expensive screen to replace on any mainstream Samsung phone. If you've cracked the glass on an S25 Ultra, S24 Ultra, S23 Ultra, S22 Ultra or S21 Ultra, this guide gives you the real numbers, explains exactly why the Ultra panel costs more than a standard Galaxy S, and shows you which Ultra is cheapest and dearest to fix – with the reasons from the repair bench, not marketing.
Every price below is celltech's current published price. We don't hide behind a quote-wall the way many UK repairers do – the figure you see is the figure you pay, with free diagnostics on standard repairs and no "assessment fee" surprises.
Direct answer: A Galaxy S Ultra screen replacement at celltech costs between £229.95 (S24 Ultra) and £269.95 (S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra), with the S25 Ultra at £249.95 and S23 Ultra at £239.95. The Ultra is the dearest Samsung screen to replace because it uses a large, high-brightness curved-edge Dynamic AMOLED panel, carries an integrated S Pen digitiser layer behind the glass, and is supplied as a genuine bonded display-and-frame assembly – far more component than a flat budget screen.
Galaxy S Ultra Screen Replacement Prices (2026)
Here are celltech's screen replacement prices for the current and recent Ultra line. These are genuine, fitted-and-tested prices – not parts-only or "from" teasers.
| Model | celltech screen replacement |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S25 Ultra | £249.95 |
| Galaxy S24 Ultra | £229.95 |
| Galaxy S23 Ultra | £239.95 |
| Galaxy S22 Ultra | £269.95 |
| Galaxy S21 Ultra | £269.95 |
If you're on an older flagship from the Note era, the screens are in the same bracket: the Note 20 Ultra screen is £269.95 and the Note 10+ is £249.95. The pre-S21 Ultra flagship, the S20 Ultra, is £249.95. For every other Samsung model – the standard S, the Plus, the FE and the A-series – see our full Samsung screen replacement cost guide, which covers the whole range.
For context, a standard Galaxy S25 screen is £179.95 and an S25+ is £199.95. So the Ultra commands roughly a £50–£70 premium over its non-Ultra siblings in the same generation. That gap is not a markup – it's the difference in the panel itself, which we explain next.
Why the Ultra Screen Costs the Most
The Ultra display is the most complex screen Samsung puts in a phone. Four things make it dearer to replace than a standard Galaxy S, an A-series, or an iPhone:
- A large, premium Dynamic AMOLED panel. The Ultra uses a ~6.8"–6.9" QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with LTPO adaptive 120Hz refresh and very high peak brightness. It is physically larger and far higher-specified than the panels in cheaper phones, and the genuine part costs more accordingly.
- An integrated S Pen digitiser layer. Every Ultra (inheriting the Note line) has a Wacom-style digitiser laminated behind the display so the S Pen works with pressure sensitivity. That's an extra functional layer bonded into the screen assembly – one a standard phone simply doesn't have – and it has to be replaced with the panel.
- Curved-edge and bonded glass. The older Ultras in particular use curved-edge glass that is harder to source and more delicate to handle. Genuine Samsung flagship screens are also supplied as a full display-and-frame assembly – the panel comes pre-bonded to the chassis – rather than a loose pane of glass, which is a big part of why Samsung flagship screens cost more to replace than an equivalent iPhone screen.
- Genuine-grade parts, honestly tiered. We fit panels that match Samsung's specification for colour accuracy, brightness, touch response and S Pen tracking. A poor aftermarket Ultra panel can lose true blacks, dim noticeably, or mistrack the S Pen – so this is one model line where part quality genuinely shows.
Put simply: when you replace an Ultra screen, you are replacing a large premium AMOLED panel, a pen digitiser, curved cover glass and often the bonded frame – a much bigger assembly than the flat single-layer screen on a budget handset.
Which Ultra Is Cheapest – and Dearest – to Fix?
Here's the part most price guides get wrong, because they assume newer always means dearer. With the Ultra line, it doesn't.
The cheapest modern Ultra screen to replace is the S24 Ultra at £229.95 – and the dearest are the S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra, both £269.95, despite being the older phones. That looks back-to-front until you understand what changed at the panel level.
The S21 Ultra and S22 Ultra use pronounced curved-edge displays. Curved cover glass is more fragile, trickier to handle without cracking during the fit, and – crucially – the genuine assemblies are now older, lower-volume parts. As a flagship ages, its display stops being mass-produced and supply tightens, which pushes the genuine-part cost up, not down.
The S24 Ultra, by contrast, moved to a near-flat display with a titanium frame. Flat panels are easier to source and handle, and the S24 Ultra is recent enough that its genuine assemblies are still in high-volume production – so the part is comparatively cheap. The S25 Ultra (£249.95) sits just above it as the newest flagship, and the S23 Ultra (£239.95) lands neatly in between. The pattern that actually drives Ultra screen pricing is therefore panel design and parts availability, not age.
celltech vs Samsung & Typical Repairers
Samsung's own out-of-warranty screen service for an Ultra is priced as a published range and is subject to change – but it sits at the top of the market, and a manufacturer repair often routes your phone away for service with a short warranty on the work. Many high-street and independent repairers, meanwhile, won't publish an Ultra price at all: you have to message for a quote, which makes comparison shopping deliberately hard.
celltech wins on three honest fronts rather than a single "cheapest" claim:
- Transparent, published pricing. Every Ultra price is on this page. No quote-wall, no "it depends", no assessment fee bolted on at the end.
- A long guarantee. Standard repairs – including screens – carry our 27-month guarantee. That's more than double the 12 months most independent UK repairers offer, and far longer than the short cover typical of a manufacturer out-of-warranty repair. (We don't claim "longest in the UK" – a few rivals advertise lifetime cover – but on a like-for-like flagship repair, two-and-a-quarter years is a serious commitment.)
- Genuine-grade panels, clearly described. We tell you what we're fitting and why it matters on an Ultra, rather than quietly fitting the cheapest panel and hoping you don't notice the dimmer screen.
We're honest that on flagship screens we're not always the lowest number you'll find – a back-bedroom repairer using budget aftermarket glass will undercut us. The question is whether you want a genuine-grade panel, a working S Pen, and a 27-month guarantee, or the cheapest possible result on a £1,000+ phone.
Is It Worth Repairing an Ultra Screen?
For the Ultra line, repair is almost always the sensible choice. Here's the quick decision steer:
- S25, S24 or S23 Ultra: Easily worth it. These phones hold strong resale and trade-in value, so spending £229.95–£249.95 to restore a device worth several hundred pounds (often four figures) is straightforward maths.
- S22 or S21 Ultra: Usually still worth it, especially if the rest of the phone is in good order and the battery is healthy. At £269.95 you're investing in a capable phone that would cost far more to replace like-for-like. If the battery is also tired, ask us to quote a screen-plus-battery combination so you're not posting it twice.
- Multiple faults or heavy water damage: This is where it's worth a proper diagnosis before committing. If a cracked screen sits alongside a swollen battery or board fault, the economics change. Our wider take on this lives in is it worth repairing a cracked screen?
One more point unique to the Ultra: even a screen with working touch should be repaired promptly. A crack lets in dust and moisture, and on a curved-edge panel a small fracture can spread into the digitiser, killing S Pen tracking and edge touch. The longer you leave it, the more likely a simple glass crack becomes a full-panel failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Galaxy S24 Ultra screen replacement in the UK?
A Galaxy S24 Ultra screen replacement at celltech is £229.95, fitted and tested with a genuine-grade panel and covered by our 27-month guarantee. That makes the S24 Ultra the cheapest of the modern Ultras to repair, because its flat panel is easy to source and still in high-volume production.
How much does an S23 Ultra screen replacement cost?
The Galaxy S23 Ultra screen replacement price at celltech is £239.95. It sits between the S24 Ultra (£229.95) and the S25 Ultra (£249.95) – the small premium over the S24 Ultra reflects its slightly more curved edge display.
Why is the S22 Ultra dearer to fix than the newer S24 Ultra?
Because Ultra screen pricing follows panel design and parts availability, not age. The S22 Ultra (£269.95) uses a more pronounced curved-edge display that is harder to source and handle, and as an older flagship its genuine assemblies are now lower-volume, more expensive parts. The S24 Ultra's flatter, current-production panel is cheaper to obtain, so it costs less to replace despite being newer.
Do you replace the S Pen digitiser as well?
Yes – on the Ultra, the S Pen digitiser is laminated behind the display and is part of the screen assembly we fit. So a genuine-grade screen replacement restores S Pen pressure sensitivity and tracking as well as the visible display, with no separate charge for the pen layer.
Are your replacement panels genuine Samsung quality?
We fit panels that match Samsung's specification for brightness, colour accuracy, touch response and S Pen tracking. On the Ultra this matters more than on any other phone – a cheap aftermarket panel can dim, lose true blacks, or mistrack the pen – so we're upfront about part grade rather than quietly fitting the cheapest option.
Will my data be safe during the repair?
Yes. A screen replacement does not touch your storage – your apps, photos, messages and settings stay exactly as they were. We still recommend a backup before sending any phone in as good practice, but a standard screen repair preserves your data.
What about foldable Ultras – Z Fold and Z Flip?
Foldables are a different repair entirely – the inner flexible display is the most expensive screen Samsung makes, well above any S Ultra. If you have a Z Fold or Z Flip, see our dedicated Samsung foldable screen replacement cost guide for those numbers.
How long is the warranty on a Galaxy S Ultra screen repair?
Screen replacements are standard repairs and carry our 27-month guarantee – more than double the 12 months most independent UK repairers offer, and far longer than a typical manufacturer out-of-warranty repair. If a covered fault develops with the panel within that window, we put it right.
