Samsung screen repair cost by series

Here is the at-a-glance range for each Galaxy family, using genuine Samsung service-pack screens. The full per-model price list follows underneath.

Signs your Samsung screen needs replacing

A Samsung display can fail in ways that go well beyond an obvious smash. If you notice any of these after a drop or knock, the screen is the part to look at:

• Spreading cracks – even a hairline crack tends to grow, and lets dust and moisture reach the panel underneath.
• Dead or unresponsive touch areas – sections that no longer register taps, or a keyboard row that stops working.
• Ghost touch – the phone tapping, scrolling or typing on its own.
• Vertical lines or coloured bars – a sign the panel or its connector has been damaged.
• Black ink-like blots or spreading dark patches – physical damage to the AMOLED layer that only grows over time.
• Fingerprint sensor no longer reading – Samsung's under-display sensor sits behind the screen, so a cracked panel often breaks biometric unlock.

Importantly, a Samsung screen can still show a picture while the touch layer or fingerprint sensor is already failing. If the glass is cracked, it is worth replacing before the damage works deeper into the phone.

Galaxy S series screen repair prices

The flagship S line uses Samsung's premium Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels. Ultra models cost more because of their larger, higher-resolution displays – and, on older generations, curved glass that is more involved to fit.

Galaxy A series screen repair prices

The A series gives you genuine Samsung AMOLED quality at mid-range prices, so a screen repair is far more affordable than on a flagship. A £149.95 repair on a phone that still does everything you need is usually money well spent.

Galaxy Z Fold & Z Flip screen repair prices

Foldable inner screens are the most complex – and therefore the most expensive – display to replace, because of the flexible panel and hinge assembly. These prices are for the main interior foldable screen using genuine Samsung parts.

Why a genuine Samsung screen is worth it

Every price above uses a genuine Samsung service-pack AMOLED screen. That matters more on Samsung than almost any other brand, because the display is the part most people interact with all day – and aftermarket panels visibly fall short.

The under-display fingerprint sensor is the single biggest reason we fit genuine screens on Samsung. Aftermarket AMOLED panels frequently break biometric unlock – and customers come back frustrated that their fingerprint no longer works. The small saving is not worth a phone you can no longer unlock the way you bought it to.

Genuine repairs are also covered by our workshop warranty – more than double the 12 months most independents offer – so the fix is backed long after you have your phone back.

What is included in your Samsung screen repair price

The price next to your model is the all-in figure – there are no surprise add-ons for a standard screen replacement. Each repair includes:

• A genuine Samsung service-pack AMOLED screen, not an aftermarket copy.
• Fitting by a trained technician, with the frame cleaned and resealed.
• Full function testing – touch, brightness, true-tone colour, the under-display fingerprint sensor, front camera and proximity sensor all checked before it goes back to you.
• Our workshop warranty on the repair, more than double the 12 months most independents offer.

If we open your phone and find extra damage behind the screen – for example a bent frame or water damage – we stop and contact you with the exact price before doing any further work. You are never charged more than the published screen price without agreeing it first.

Samsung screen repair vs buying a new phone

On most Galaxy phones, repairing the screen costs a small fraction of replacing the handset. A £149.95 repair on a Galaxy A or a £229.95 screen on an S24 Ultra is far cheaper than the £400–£1,200 a like-for-like new phone would cost – and you keep all your apps, photos and settings exactly as they are.

A repair makes the most sense when the rest of the phone is healthy: the battery still lasts, the cameras work, and there is no other major damage. If a phone is very old, has several failing parts, or the repair approaches the cost of a good refurbished replacement, we will tell you honestly rather than sell you a fix that does not stack up.

Before you send your Samsung in

A few minutes of prep makes the repair smoother and protects your data. Before you post your phone to us:

• Back up your phone to Samsung Cloud or Google, so your photos and messages are safe whatever happens.
• Turn off Find My Mobile and remove your Samsung/Google account lock, or note your screen-lock PIN for us – a locked device cannot be fully tested after the screen is fitted.
• Remove your SIM and any microSD card, and take off any case or screen protector.
• Make a note of the fault – for example “cracked, touch dead on the right side” – so we can confirm everything is fixed before it ships back.

Your data stays on the phone during a screen repair – we do not wipe devices to replace a display – but a backup is always the safe move with any repair.

What affects the price of a Samsung screen repair

• Screen size and resolution – larger, higher-resolution Ultra panels cost more to source than a standard or A-series display.
• Flat vs curved glass – curved edges on older S and Note models add fitting complexity; Samsung has moved most current models back to flatter panels.
• Foldable design – flexible inner screens and hinge assemblies make Z Fold and Z Flip the dearest repairs by some distance.
• Special features – S Pen digitiser support and adaptive high-refresh panels carry a higher parts cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace a Samsung screen in the UK?

A genuine Samsung screen replacement costs between £99.95 and £599.95 at celltech, depending on the model. Galaxy A phones are the most affordable (from £99.95), mainstream Galaxy S flagships run £149.95 to £269.95, and foldable Z Fold inner screens are the most expensive at up to £599.95. Every model has a fixed published price.

Do you use genuine Samsung screens?

Yes. All prices listed use genuine Samsung service-pack AMOLED screens, which keep full peak brightness, accurate colour and a reliable under-display fingerprint sensor – the things aftermarket panels most often get wrong. The repair is covered by our workshop warranty, more than double the 12 months most independents offer.

Is it worth repairing a cracked Samsung screen?

Usually, yes – especially on the A and S series, where a screen repair costs a fraction of a new phone. A £149.95 repair on a handset that otherwise works perfectly is far cheaper than replacing it. It is also worth acting early: a small crack can spread, let in moisture, or stop the touch layer and fingerprint sensor working.

Why is a Samsung screen more expensive to repair than an iPhone screen?

Samsung builds the display into more of the phone than most brands, and its Dynamic AMOLED panels – particularly the curved Ultra and flexible foldable screens – are more expensive parts to source. The under-display fingerprint sensor and S Pen digitiser on some models add cost too.

Do you repair foldable Z Fold and Z Flip inner screens?

Yes. We replace the main interior foldable screen on Z Flip models from £299.95 and Z Fold models from £529.95, using genuine Samsung parts. Because of the flexible panel and hinge, these are our most specialised screen repairs.

How long does a Samsung screen repair take?

Samsung screen repairs are handled by post: you send your phone in with the prepaid pack and we return it once the genuine screen is fitted and fully tested. Exact timing is confirmed after we assess the device, so you always know where you stand before any work begins.

Is my data safe during a Samsung screen repair?

Yes. Replacing a screen does not require wiping your phone, so your apps, photos and settings stay exactly as they are. We still recommend backing up to Samsung Cloud or Google first, as a sensible precaution with any repair.

Can you fix ghost touch or a black screen that still works?

Often, yes – both are classic signs of a damaged display. Ghost touch (the phone tapping on its own) and a black or flickering screen that still shows signs of life usually point to the panel or its connector, which a genuine screen replacement resolves. We test the new screen fully before returning your phone to confirm the fault is gone.
