How Much Does a Samsung Screen Repair Cost in the UK?

A cracked Samsung screen is one of those problems where the first question is always the same, and the honest answer is annoyingly conditional. A screen repair in the UK might cost you less than a decent pair of headphones or more than a mid-range phone, and the difference comes down to which Galaxy you own, what technology is in the panel, what actually broke, and which replacement part goes back in.

This guide sets out realistic price ranges seen across the UK repair market, explains what drives them, and gives you a way of deciding whether repairing is the right call at all. It is written for phone owners rather than technicians, and it deliberately avoids the two things that make most price articles useless: pretending there is one number, and quoting figures without saying where they came from or when.

Price information in this article was checked on 4 September 2026. Repair pricing moves with parts supply and exchange rates, so treat everything here as an indication of the market rather than a quotation.

The Short Answer

For most Samsung Galaxy phones in the UK, an independent screen replacement falls somewhere between about £45 and £280. That covers the great majority of handsets people bring in.

Foldables sit in their own bracket. Replacing the inner folding display on a Galaxy Z Fold can run from roughly £295 to £600 or more, because you are replacing a folding OLED panel rather than a flat one.

Broadly, and as indicative UK market ranges rather than quotations:

Those bands come from comparing published price lists at several UK repair businesses in 2026, and they are wide on purpose. Two shops quoting the same model can differ by £80 because they are fitting different parts and offering different cover afterwards.

Samsung UK also publishes its own recommended out-of-warranty screen repair prices in a searchable table by model. Samsung’s page notes that the figures are recommended repair prices, that the price may change if additional work is required, and that “you may be able to find a cheaper price by shopping around”. Samsung also lists a separate out-of-warranty inspection fee of £30.

Because prices vary by model and change over time, we do not publish a fixed price list in articles like this. For current model-specific options you can check our Samsung repair page or ask us for a quotation for your exact handset.

Why There Is No Single Price

Five variables set the cost of any Samsung screen repair. Understanding them tells you why two quotes for “a Samsung screen” can look nothing alike.

1. The Exact Model

Not “a Galaxy S”, but which one. An S21 and an S25 Ultra are different repairs with different parts at different prices, and even within a generation the standard, Plus and Ultra versions differ. Part cost is driven by panel size, panel technology, how many are in circulation and how old the model is. Very new flagships are expensive because supply is tight; very old models can become expensive again once parts stop being made.

2. The Screen Technology

Samsung uses OLED and AMOLED panels across most of its range and LCD on some older or entry-level devices. OLED assemblies cost more to buy, and Samsung’s flagship panels add features that raise the price further: high refresh rates, curved edges, in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensors and, on Ultra and Note models, S Pen digitisers.

3. What Actually Broke

A hairline crack in the outer glass with a perfect display underneath is a different job from a panel with dead touch response, black patches or a green line. It matters because most modern Samsung screens are sold as complete assemblies, with the glass, the OLED panel and the touch layer laminated together. More on the glass-only question below.

4. Which Replacement Part Is Used

This is the single biggest source of price variation, and the least well explained in most quotes. A Samsung service pack assembly, an aftermarket panel and a refurbished original are three different products at three different prices with three different outcomes. The section on parts terminology below covers what each term means.

5. What Else Is Damaged

Screens rarely break on their own. A drop hard enough to crack the display often bends the frame, cracks the back glass, damages the earpiece or breaks the front camera. A bent frame in particular has to be dealt with before a new screen will sit flat and stay sealed, and that adds work.

Two further practical factors sit behind all of this: labour rates, which differ across the country, and what the repairer includes afterwards in terms of testing and cover. A quote that is £60 cheaper with no cover attached is not the same product as one that includes a warranty on the work.

Types of Samsung Screen Damage and What They Mean

The symptom points at both the repair and the likely cost.

Two notes worth adding.

A black screen is not always a screen problem. A phone that rings, vibrates and connects to a computer while showing nothing may have a display fault, a connection problem or a board issue. A repairer who tests before quoting is worth more than one who assumes.

A lifting screen with no crack often means the battery. Swelling batteries push displays out of their frames. That is a safety issue as well as a repair one, and it should not be pressed back down and ignored.

OLED, AMOLED and LCD Explained

You do not need the physics, but you do need enough to read a quote properly.

LCD panels use a backlight shining through a liquid crystal layer. They are cheaper to make and cheaper to replace. Samsung used LCD on older devices and some entry-level A series models. Blacks look dark grey rather than truly black, and the panel is slightly thicker.

OLED panels have no backlight. Each pixel produces its own light, so switching a pixel off gives you a true black. That means better contrast, thinner panels and lower power use on dark content. It also means the panel is a more complex and more expensive component.

AMOLED is the version Samsung uses in phones, with an active matrix layer controlling each pixel. Samsung’s marketing names, such as Super AMOLED and Dynamic AMOLED, describe refinements including brighter output, higher refresh rates and the touch layer being integrated into the panel rather than sitting on top of it. For repair purposes, treat AMOLED as OLED with Samsung’s own improvements.

Why this matters to your bill:

• OLED and AMOLED assemblies cost significantly more to buy than LCD equivalents
• Samsung integrates the touch layer into the panel, so touch faults and display faults are usually solved by the same part
• Curved-edge panels on flagship models are harder to remove and refit without cracking
• In-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are calibrated to the panel, so a poor-quality replacement can leave fingerprint unlocking unreliable
• Flagship features such as 120Hz refresh, high peak brightness and accurate colour depend on the panel you fit, which is exactly why part choice changes both price and result

If you want a fuller explanation of the differences and how they affect a repair, our page on OLED versus LCD screens covers it in more depth.

Can Just the Glass Be Replaced?

Sometimes, but it is not the simple saving people hope for.

On most modern Samsung phones the outer glass, the OLED panel and the touch layer are laminated into one assembly. Separating the cracked glass from an undamaged panel is delicate specialist work involving heat, cutting wire or laser equipment, and a re-lamination process. Some UK businesses offer it as a refurbishing service and can do it well. Many do not offer it at all, which is why the price lists you find online mostly quote complete assemblies.

Glass-only work is realistic when the display underneath is genuinely perfect, with no black patches, no lines and full touch response. It is not an option when the panel itself is damaged. It also carries a risk that the panel does not survive the process, which is why anyone offering it should explain what happens in that event before starting.

Genuine, Service Pack, Refurbished and Compatible Parts

This terminology is where quotes become hard to compare, and where some of the industry is vague. Here is what the words actually mean.

A few observations from the counter.

Cheaper aftermarket panels are not automatically bad, but they are different. On some A series models an aftermarket assembly performs perfectly well for a phone that will be sold or handed down within a year. On a flagship with a 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED panel, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and HDR content, the differences in brightness, colour and touch feel are much more noticeable.

“Genuine” is a word worth questioning politely. Nobody should claim a part is genuine Samsung unless that can be substantiated. If a quote is dramatically below every other price you have been given while describing the part as genuine, ask what makes it so. A straight answer is a good sign.

The right choice depends on the phone and the plan. A three-year-old A series handset that needs to survive another twelve months is a different decision from a nearly new S Ultra you intend to keep or trade in. We set out the trade-offs in more detail on our page comparing genuine and aftermarket parts, and we will tell you which option we are quoting for rather than leaving it implied.

Cost Considerations Across the Galaxy Range

Different families behave differently, and it helps to know what is typical for yours.

Galaxy A Series

The A series covers everything from very affordable handsets to capable mid-range phones, and repair economics vary just as widely. Entry models are the least expensive Samsung screens to replace, and parts are plentiful. The complication is the value question: on a phone that cost £150 new and is now two years old, a £120 screen repair needs thinking about, and that calculation is covered further down.

Newer A series models with larger AMOLED panels sit closer to entry-level flagship pricing, which surprises people who assume “A series means cheap repair”.

Galaxy S Series

The mainstream repair. Costs rise across standard, Plus and Ultra versions, and with each generation. Older S models are often reasonable because parts are widely available, while the newest flagship is usually the most expensive non-folding Samsung screen to replace.

Ultra models carry extras that add cost and complexity: the S Pen digitiser layer, curved glass on some generations, and larger panels that are harder to remove without damage.

Galaxy Note Series

Note handsets are no longer current, which cuts both ways. Parts for popular models such as the Note 10 and Note 20 are still available and pricing has settled, but S Pen functionality depends on the digitiser, so part quality matters more than on a standard phone. For an older Note, the repair-versus-replace maths is usually the deciding factor rather than the repair itself.

Galaxy Z Flip

A Flip has two screens: the small cover display on the outside and the folding main display inside. They are separate repairs at very different prices. Cover screens are relatively affordable. Inner folding displays cost considerably more, for the reasons covered in the next section.

Galaxy Z Fold

The most expensive common Samsung screen repair. The outer cover display is broadly comparable to a flagship phone screen. The inner folding display is a large, flexible panel that is expensive as a part before any labour is added, and on several generations it is supplied together with parts of the frame, which raises the cost again.

Why Foldable Repairs Are Different

It is worth understanding what you are paying for, because the price often looks disproportionate until you know.

The panel bends. A folding display is not glass in the conventional sense. It uses ultra-thin glass or plastic layers designed to flex hundreds of thousands of times, which is a fundamentally more complex and more expensive component than a rigid flat panel.

There are two screens. Diagnosis has to establish which display is affected, and sometimes both are.

The hinge is part of the assembly. On many Z models the inner display is bonded in a way that involves the hinge and the surrounding frame, so replacement is a longer job with more parts.

The protective layer is not a screen protector. Samsung fits a factory-applied protective layer over the inner display. It can lift or bubble at the crease with use, and it is not intended to be peeled off and replaced by the owner, because removing it can damage the panel underneath. If yours is lifting, ask before pulling it.

Dust is a real enemy. Foldables have moving parts and, depending on the model, limited protection against fine particles. Grit that gets behind the panel or into the hinge can cause damage that looks like a screen fault.

The crease is normal. A visible line down the middle of the inner display is a characteristic of the design, not a fault, and not something a repair removes.

The practical consequence is that a Fold or Flip inner screen repair deserves a proper conversation about cost before work begins, because it is one of the few phone repairs where the price can approach the value of a replacement handset.

Manufacturer, Independent, Self-Repair or Replace?

Four routes, each with a real case for it.

Samsung UK offers repair through in-store service points, courier collection and a doorstep option, and publishes recommended out-of-warranty screen prices along with a £30 inspection fee for out-of-warranty devices. Samsung also runs a Self-Repair programme in the UK supplying genuine parts and guides for selected devices.

Independent repair is where most people land, largely on cost and convenience. The important thing is that “independent” describes a very wide range of businesses. The questions further down are the ones that separate them.

One point that applies whichever route you choose: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, a service must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. That protection exists regardless of who does the work, and it is worth knowing about.

Warranty, Insurance and Accidental Damage Cover

Before paying for anything, check whether someone else is already covering it.

The Manufacturer’s Warranty

Samsung’s standard warranty covers manufacturing defects, not accidents. Samsung UK states plainly that the warranty will not cover physical damage. A cracked screen from a drop is a chargeable repair, not a warranty claim.

There is one nuance. A display fault with no physical damage, such as a green line or a dead area appearing on an undamaged handset within the warranty period, may be a different conversation. If your phone is still in warranty and nothing has happened to it, ask Samsung before paying anyone.

Samsung Care+

Samsung Care+ is Samsung’s own protection plan, covering accidental damage including screen and liquid damage, with repairs carried out at authorised service centres using Samsung parts. An excess fee applies per claim, and the amount varies by device, so check the figure for your model rather than assuming. It can normally be added when buying the device or within 60 days of purchase from an eligible retailer, so it is not something you can bolt on after the screen breaks.

Mobile and Home Insurance

Three places worth checking before you pay for a repair:

• Standalone mobile phone insurance, often sold with the handset or contract
• Packaged bank accounts, many of which include mobile phone cover you may have forgotten about
• Home contents insurance, which sometimes covers personal possessions away from home as an add-on

The deciding factor is usually the excess. If the policy excess is £75 and the repair is £110, a claim saves you £35 and may affect your premium or no-claims position. If the excess is £75 and the repair is £480, claiming is clearly worthwhile. Check whether the policy requires the repair to be done by a particular provider, because using someone else can invalidate the claim.

Work Phones and Contract Devices

If the phone belongs to your employer, speak to them first. If it is on a contract with an insurance product attached, check the terms before booking a repair, since third-party repairs can affect cover.

Repair Warranties

Ask what cover comes with the repair itself, and what it includes. Cover on a replacement part usually excludes new physical damage, so a second drop is a second repair. Our own warranty information sets out what applies to work we carry out.

Repair or Replace: A Framework

Rather than a rule, use a sequence of questions and some arithmetic.

Step 1: What is the phone worth working? Look at what a like-for-like used model in good condition sells for, or what a trade-in service offers for one in working order.

Step 2: What is it worth broken? Broken-screen trade-in values are much lower, and that gap is the real value the repair unlocks.

Step 3: What else is wrong with it? Battery health, charging port condition, camera faults and previous water exposure all belong in the calculation.

Step 4: How long do you want to keep it? A repair that carries a phone through eighteen more months is a different proposition from one buying three.

Step 5: What would replacing it actually cost? Not just the handset, but any early upgrade fee or contract change.

Worked Example 1: Mid-Range A Series

This is a hypothetical example for illustration only. Your figures will differ.

Suppose a two-year-old Galaxy A series phone with a cracked screen. Repair quoted at £120. A comparable used model in working condition sells for around £160, and the phone otherwise works well with a battery that still lasts the day.

Repairing costs £120 to keep a phone worth roughly £160 that you know the history of. Replacing costs at least as much for an unfamiliar used device, or considerably more for something new. The repair looks reasonable, provided nothing else is wrong.

Change one number and the answer flips. If the same repair were quoted at £150 on a phone worth £160, with a battery already struggling, replacement starts to make more sense.

Worked Example 2: Flagship S Ultra

Again, hypothetical figures for illustration.

Suppose a recent S Ultra with a smashed screen, quoted at £250. The equivalent used handset in good condition sells for around £600, and with a broken screen it might fetch £200.

Repairing costs £250 to restore roughly £400 of value, on a phone that will keep receiving software updates for years. That is a straightforward case for repair, and the same logic applies to most late-model flagships: the more the phone is worth, the more sense the repair makes.

Worked Example 3: Older Entry-Level Handset

Hypothetical figures again.

Suppose a four-year-old entry-level A series phone, screen repair quoted at £95, current value working around £60, battery tired, charging port temperamental.

Here the repair costs more than the phone is worth and does not address the other problems. Unless the device holds irreplaceable data or has sentimental value, replacement is the more sensible route. A repairer telling you this rather than taking the work is doing you a favour.

Where Foldables Land

Foldables need their own version of this calculation because the inner screen cost is so much higher. A £550 inner display repair on a Fold worth £700 working and £250 broken still adds value, but the margin is much thinner and other factors, such as hinge condition and how many times the phone has been repaired already, carry more weight.

Data and Backup Considerations

Screen repairs do not normally involve data loss, but do not treat that as a guarantee.

Back up before you hand the phone over. Samsung Cloud, Google One, Smart Switch to a computer or another phone, or a straightforward copy of photos to a laptop all work. If the screen is broken but the phone is otherwise fine, a backup is usually still possible.

If the screen is completely dead, a repairer can sometimes connect the device to a monitor or fit a test screen to allow a backup before the repair proper. Ask rather than assuming, and mention it early if there are photos on the phone you have never backed up.

Know your screen lock and Samsung or Google account details. Testing a repaired phone properly means unlocking it. A device that cannot be unlocked cannot be fully tested, and a factory reset performed to get around that will destroy your data.

Consider what is on the phone. Banking apps, work email and password managers all sit behind your screen lock. Use a repairer you are comfortable with, and if the phone holds sensitive work data, check whether your employer has a policy about third-party repair.

Remove the memory card and, if you prefer, the SIM. Neither is needed for a screen repair, and it removes a variable.

What a Screen Replacement Actually Involves

Knowing roughly what the work entails makes the price easier to judge, and explains why “it is just a screen” understates the job on a modern Galaxy.

The display on a current Samsung phone is bonded to the frame with strong adhesive and, on most models, is reached by removing the back glass and working from the inside. That means controlled heat to soften adhesive, careful separation to avoid cracking anything further, disconnecting the battery before touching the display connectors, and a sequence of small components that have to come out and go back in the right order.

Several parts are transferred from the old assembly rather than supplied with the new one, depending on the model. That can include the earpiece, sensor flexes and, on some devices, elements around the front camera. Damage during that transfer is one reason careful work matters more than speed.

Once the new panel is in, the phone is reassembled with fresh adhesive, and the repair is tested: display uniformity and brightness, touch response across the whole surface, the fingerprint sensor, the proximity sensor, the earpiece, the front camera and, where applicable, S Pen pressure response. On models with an in-display fingerprint sensor, the sensor may need to settle or be re-enrolled after the repair.

Two honest caveats belong here. The factory water resistance seal is disturbed by any screen replacement, and while a careful repair reseals the device, it should not be treated as equivalent to the original. And a phone that has been dropped hard enough to break its screen has sometimes taken damage elsewhere that only becomes visible once it is opened, which is why a good repairer talks to you before proceeding rather than after.

Questions Worth Asking Before You Book

A short list that tells you a lot about a repair business.

1. What exactly are you fitting? Original, service pack, refurbished or compatible, and what does that mean for brightness, colour, refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.
2. Is the quoted price the full price? Ask what happens if the frame is bent or the battery is swollen, and whether that is a separate charge you will be told about first.
3. What cover comes with the repair, and what does it exclude? Cover on the part is standard; cover for a fresh drop is not.
4. Will the fingerprint sensor, proximity sensor and face unlock be tested? These are the functions most often affected by a screen replacement.
5. What happens if I am not happy with the result? A clear answer here is worth more than a small discount.
6. How long will it take, and will the phone stay on site? Relevant if you need to be contactable.
7. Do you test the device before quoting? Particularly important with black screens, where the display may not be the fault.
8. Will the repair affect any remaining manufacturer warranty or insurance? Ask both the repairer and your insurer, since physical damage is already outside the Samsung warranty in most cases.
9. What do you do about water resistance? Any screen replacement disturbs the original factory seal. A repairer who is honest about this is more trustworthy than one who promises the phone will be as waterproof as new.
10. Can you tell me what you found? After the repair, a short explanation of the actual damage is a sign of a business that is not just swapping parts.

Protecting a Repaired Screen

A new screen is a good moment to change the habits that led to the last one.

Fit a case with a raised lip. The single most effective thing you can do. A case where the front edge sits proud of the glass stops face-down drops landing directly on the screen.

Use a tempered glass protector, fitted properly. It absorbs impact and is far cheaper to replace than a display. Have it fitted carefully, since bubbles and dust under a protector cause their own problems, and check it is cut correctly around the sensor and camera areas.

Give the adhesive time to set. After a screen replacement, avoid extremes of temperature and heavy pressure on the screen for the first day or so.

Be realistic about water resistance. A replaced screen means a replaced seal. Even carefully done, the phone should not be treated as though it retains its original IP rating. Keep it away from baths, pools and heavy rain.

Watch where you put it. Back pockets, laps in cars, arms of sofas and the edges of tables account for a remarkable share of broken screens.

For foldables, treat the crease with respect. Do not press hard on it, do not force the phone closed with anything inside, and keep it away from sand and grit.

If a new fault appears, say so early. A screen that develops a flicker or a dead touch area a fortnight after a repair should be reported straight away rather than lived with, particularly while any repair cover is current.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does a Samsung screen repair cost in the UK?

Across the UK market, independent screen replacements for most Galaxy phones fall roughly between £45 and £280, depending on model, panel type and the replacement part used. Foldable inner displays sit higher, with Z Fold inner screens commonly quoted from around £295 to £600 or more. Samsung publishes its own recommended out-of-warranty screen prices by model, along with a £30 inspection fee for out-of-warranty devices. These figures were checked on 4 September 2026 and change over time, so always get a quotation for your specific handset.

2. Why do two shops quote such different prices for the same phone?

Usually because they are quoting for different parts. A Samsung service pack assembly, a refurbished original and an aftermarket panel have very different costs and produce different results in brightness, colour accuracy, refresh rate and fingerprint reliability. Labour rates, what the price includes and what cover is offered afterwards also differ. When comparing quotes, ask each provider what part they are fitting, otherwise you are comparing numbers rather than repairs.

3. Can I just replace the cracked glass instead of the whole screen?

Sometimes, but it is specialist work rather than a simple cheaper option. On modern Samsung phones the glass, OLED panel and touch layer are laminated together, so separating them requires heat, specialist tools and a re-lamination process. It is only realistic when the display underneath is genuinely perfect, and there is a risk the panel does not survive the process. Many repairers do not offer it at all, which is why most published prices are for complete assemblies.

4. Is a Samsung screen repair covered by the warranty?

Not if the damage is physical. Samsung UK states that the warranty does not cover physical damage, so a cracked screen from a drop is a chargeable repair. A display fault that appears on an undamaged phone within the warranty period, such as a green line with no impact history, is worth raising with Samsung before paying for a repair, since that is a different situation.

5. Why are Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip screens so much more expensive?

Because a folding display is a fundamentally more complex component than a flat one. It uses ultra-thin flexible layers engineered to bend repeatedly, it is often bonded in a way that involves the hinge and frame, and there are two displays on the device rather than one. The part itself is expensive before any labour is added, which is why inner screen repairs on foldables are among the most costly common phone repairs in the UK.

6. Is it worth repairing a Samsung screen or should I replace the phone?

Compare the repair cost against what the phone is worth working, what it is worth broken, and how long you plan to keep it. On a recent flagship, a repair usually restores far more value than it costs. On an older entry-level handset with a tired battery, the repair can cost more than the phone is worth. The honest test is whether the repair leaves you with a device you would be happy to keep using for at least another year.

7. Will a replacement screen affect my fingerprint sensor or face unlock?

It can, which is why testing matters. Samsung flagships use in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that are calibrated to work with the panel, so a poor-quality replacement can leave fingerprint unlocking slow or unreliable. Face unlock and the proximity sensor can also be affected if components are not correctly transferred and reseated. Ask whether these functions are tested before the phone is handed back.

8. Does a screen replacement affect water resistance?

Yes. The original water resistance depends on factory adhesive seals that are disturbed the moment the screen is removed. A careful repair reseals the device, but no repairer should claim the phone is as water resistant as it was when new. Samsung also notes that water resistance is not permanent and weakens with time and wear regardless of repairs. Treat a repaired phone as splash-resistant at best.

9. What is the difference between a service pack screen and an aftermarket one?

A service pack display is a Samsung assembly supplied through the repair parts channel. An aftermarket or compatible panel is made by a third party to fit the model. On some devices an aftermarket part performs perfectly acceptably; on flagships with high refresh rates, high brightness and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, the differences are usually noticeable. Nobody should describe a part as genuine unless that can be substantiated, so it is fair to ask what the description is based on.

10. Will I lose my data during a screen repair?

Not normally, but back up first anyway. A screen replacement does not touch storage, and repairs are usually completed without any data being affected. Even so, any repair carries a small risk and a phone with existing damage can behave unpredictably. Make sure you know your screen lock and account details too, since the device has to be unlocked for proper testing after the repair.

11. My Samsung screen is black but the phone still rings. Is that the screen?

Often, but not always. A phone that rings, vibrates and connects to a computer while showing nothing may have a failed display, a dislodged connection or a fault elsewhere. This is a case where paying for a diagnosis first is worthwhile, because fitting a new screen to a phone with a different fault solves nothing. Any decent repairer will test before quoting.

12. Should I claim on insurance for a cracked Samsung screen?

Work out the excess first. If your policy excess is close to the repair cost, paying directly is often simpler and avoids any effect on your premium or claim history. If the repair is well above the excess, particularly on a flagship or a foldable, claiming makes clear sense. Check whether your policy requires an approved repairer, since using someone else can invalidate the claim, and check packaged bank accounts and home contents policies before assuming you are uninsured.

Conclusion

The cost of a Samsung screen repair in the UK is genuinely variable, and anyone quoting a single figure without knowing your model is guessing. What you can rely on is the shape of it: entry-level A series repairs are the least expensive, flagship S models sit in the middle, and foldable inner displays are in a category of their own.

The bigger decision is usually not where to get the cheapest quote but which repair makes sense for the phone you own. A recent flagship almost always justifies the work. An older budget handset with other problems often does not. And in every case, the part being fitted matters as much as the price attached to it, which is why it is worth asking exactly what is going into your phone before you agree to anything.

Check whether insurance or Samsung Care+ already covers you, back up your data, and get a quotation for your specific model rather than a family average. That is how you end up paying a fair price for a repair that lasts.
