Our screen repair service restores crystal-clear visuals, responsive touch, and original brightness levels, making your iPhone feel new again.

iPhone Screen Problems We Fix

Cracked iPhone Screens

Spider web cracks, corner damage, and completely shattered displays affect touch functionality and safety. Our iPhone screen repair service replaces damaged glass and LCD/OLED assemblies, restoring perfect visual display and responsive touch control.

Unresponsive Touch Screens

Touch sensitivity problems, dead zones, and phantom touches indicate digitizer damage. We replace faulty touch sensors and recalibrate screen responsiveness to factory specifications.

iPhone Screen Flickering

Flickering displays, color distortion, and brightness fluctuation often result from display connector issues or LCD/OLED panel problems. Our screen repair process includes connector inspection and complete display replacement when necessary.

Black Screen Issues

iPhones with black screens but working sounds may have display backlight failure or complete LCD/OLED damage. We diagnose the exact cause and provide appropriate screen replacement or iPhone repair services.

Display Color Problems

Color distortion, yellow tints, pink screens, or washed-out displays indicate LCD or OLED panel degradation. Our screen replacement service restores accurate color reproduction and proper brightness levels.

Why iPhone Screens Break

Understanding how and why screens fail helps you prevent future damage and recognise when professional repair is necessary.

Glass Technology and Limitations

Modern iPhone screens use Ceramic Shield (iPhone 12 and newer) or strengthened aluminosilicate glass (older models). While these materials resist scratches well, they’re still vulnerable to impact damage. Glass is inherently brittle – it handles compression well but shatters under tension from impacts.

When your iPhone hits a hard surface, the impact force creates tension waves through the glass. If the force exceeds the glass’s tensile strength, it fractures. Corner and edge impacts are most damaging because force concentrates at single points rather than distributing across the surface.

Drop Height and Surface Matter

Dropping your iPhone from waist height onto concrete almost guarantees screen damage. The same drop onto carpet might cause no damage at all. Surface hardness determines how much impact energy transfers to your screen versus being absorbed by the surface.

Tile, concrete, asphalt, and wood floors are particularly dangerous. Grass, carpet, and soft surfaces cushion falls significantly. This explains why screens sometimes survive dramatic drops but shatter from seemingly minor falls – it’s about the surface, not just the height.

Screen Protector Myths

Tempered glass screen protectors help prevent scratches and can absorb some impact energy, but they won’t save your screen from serious drops. When protectors shatter during drops, they’ve absorbed some force – but often not enough to prevent underlying screen damage.

The best protection combines a quality case with raised edges (protecting the screen from direct surface contact) and a screen protector for scratch prevention.

Pressure Damage

Sitting on your iPhone, having heavy objects press against it in bags, or extreme twisting pressure can crack screens without obvious impacts. These cracks often appear as single lines across the display rather than spider web patterns from drops.

Manufacturing Defects

Occasionally, screens develop cracks or display issues from manufacturing defects or internal stress. These failures are rare but do occur, typically appearing as unexplained cracks without impact history.

Signs Your Screen Needs Professional Repair

Not all screen problems look the same. Recognising specific issues helps you understand what repair you need.

Visible Cracks and Shatter Patterns

Spider web cracks radiating from an impact point indicate shattered glass but potentially intact digitizer. Single cracks across the screen suggest pressure damage. Small corner cracks can spread quickly across the entire display if not repaired promptly.

Even tiny cracks compromise screen integrity. Moisture can enter through cracks, causing internal corrosion and display damage. What starts as cosmetic damage becomes functional failure without timely repair.

Touch Responsiveness Problems

Unresponsive areas, phantom touches (screen registering touches you didn’t make), or delayed touch response indicate digitizer damage. The digitizer is the touch-sensitive layer beneath your screen – it can fail independently of the glass.

Sometimes digitizers fail without visible damage. If your screen looks perfect but touch doesn’t work correctly, you need digitizer replacement, which requires complete screen assembly replacement on most iPhones.

Display Quality Issues

Black spots, colored lines, flickering, or sections of the display not showing images indicate LCD or OLED panel damage. These issues often worsen over time as damaged pixels spread or connections degrade.

Color distortion, washed-out appearance, or reduced brightness also signal display panel problems requiring replacement. Sometimes these issues result from loose connections rather than actual damage – diagnostics determine the cause.

Backlight Failure

If your screen is visible only in bright light or you can barely see faint images on an otherwise black screen, your backlight has failed. LCD screens (iPhone 11 and older) have separate backlight components that can fail independently.

OLED screens (iPhone 12 and newer, plus iPhone X/XS) don’t have traditional backlights – each pixel produces its own light. OLED backlight failures typically mean the display panel itself has failed.

Green Tint or Display Discoloration

Green, pink, or yellow tints across your display indicate OLED panel issues or connection problems. These can result from impact damage, manufacturing defects, or software issues. Professional diagnostics determine whether screen replacement is necessary.

Understanding iPhone Screen Technology

Modern iPhones use two different display technologies, each with unique characteristics affecting repair approaches and costs.

LCD vs OLED Technology

iPhones through iPhone 11 (except iPhone X/XS/XR) use LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens. LCDs have separate backlight layers beneath the liquid crystal panel. These displays are generally less expensive to manufacture and repair.

iPhone 12 and newer (plus iPhone X/XS) use OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays. OLED screens produce their own light at each pixel, eliminating backlight needs. This enables true blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and thinner designs – but increases manufacturing costs and repair prices.

Screen Assembly Components

iPhone screens aren’t just glass – they’re complex assemblies including multiple layers:

• Protective glass: The outer surface you touch
• Digitizer: Touch-sensitive layer detecting finger input
• Display panel: LCD or OLED component showing images
• Backlight (LCD only): Illumination layer
• Frame assembly: Structural support connecting to the phone
• Connectors: Cables linking display to logic board

Quality screen replacements include all these components as complete assemblies, ensuring proper functionality.

True Tone and Display Calibration

True Tone technology adjusts your screen’s color temperature based on ambient lighting. This feature requires specific calibration to your device. Quality screen replacements maintain True Tone functionality through proper calibration procedures.

Some cheap replacement screens lose True Tone permanently because they lack proper components or calibration. We preserve True Tone on all compatible repairs.

Face ID Compatibility

Face ID sensors are paired to your original screen during manufacturing. Screen replacement doesn’t affect Face ID functionality as long as technicians protect the sensors during repair and maintain proper cable connections.

DIY repairs often damage Face ID permanently because improper removal techniques tear delicate sensor cables. Professional repair protects these critical components.

Our Professional Screen Repair Process

We’ve refined our screen replacement process through thousands of successful repairs, ensuring quality results while protecting all device functions.

Comprehensive Display Diagnostics

Before replacement, we test your entire display system. This includes examining damage under magnification, testing touch responsiveness across all screen areas, checking display quality and brightness, verifying Face ID sensor integrity, and running logic board connection tests.

Diagnostics prevent unnecessary repairs. Sometimes screen issues stem from loose connections or software problems rather than actual display damage. We identify the real cause before suggesting repairs.

Careful Device Disassembly

iPhone screen removal requires extreme care. We heat adhesive seals to exact temperatures – too little and screens won’t release safely, too much and you risk damaging internal components. Specialized tools separate screens from frames without stressing delicate parts.

We protect Face ID sensors, cameras, and proximity sensors throughout disassembly. These components are easily damaged during improper screen removal – a mistake that causes permanent functionality loss.

Component Transfer and Installation

Certain components must transfer from your original screen to the replacement: the earpiece speaker, front-facing camera assembly, and proximity/ambient light sensors. We carefully remove and reinstall these using precise positioning to ensure proper function.

The replacement screen undergoes fit testing before installation. We verify proper alignment, secure adhesive application, and correct connector positioning. Only after confirmation do we secure the new screen permanently.

System Calibration

After installation, we calibrate display settings including True Tone color calibration (if applicable), touch sensitivity adjustment, brightness and color accuracy, and proximity sensor functionality. Proper calibration ensures your screen functions exactly as Apple designed.

Comprehensive Functionality Testing

Your iPhone undergoes extensive testing before return: touch response across all areas, Face ID functionality, front camera and selfie quality, earpiece speaker volume and clarity, display quality at various brightness levels, True Tone accuracy (if applicable), and overall device performance.

We test every function potentially affected by screen replacement. Only after passing all quality checks do we consider the repair complete.

Most screen replacements take 45-60 minutes for in-store customers. Mail-in repairs are completed within 24-48 hours of receiving your device.

Screen Replacement Pricing Explained

Our pricing reflects the technology in your iPhone’s display and the quality of replacement parts. All prices include professional installation, comprehensive testing, calibration, and 12-month warranty.

Why Professional Repair Beats DIY

Online web tutorials make screen replacement look achievable, but the reality involves significant risks that often result in more expensive problems than the original crack.

The Real Risks of DIY Screen Replacement

Permanent Face ID Destruction

Face ID sensors connect to your screen via extremely delicate ribbon cables. Improper removal techniques tear these cables, destroying Face ID permanently. Apple cannot repair or replace Face ID sensors – once damaged, the feature is lost forever on that device.

Thousands of iPhones have permanently lost Face ID functionality from DIY repair attempts. This single mistake transforms a £100 screen repair into a £500+ phone replacement.

Display Connector Damage

Three tiny connectors link your screen to the logic board. Forcing them during removal, connecting them incorrectly during reassembly, or damaging connector pins makes your screen non-functional. Repairing damaged connectors requires logic board micro-soldering costing £150-300.

Battery Puncture Hazards

Prying tools used for screen removal can easily puncture your battery if used incorrectly. Punctured lithium-ion batteries can catch fire, release toxic fumes, and cause serious injury. Professional technicians have proper tools and training to avoid battery contact entirely.

Cheap Display Quality

DIY repair kits use low-grade displays lacking proper color accuracy, brightness, or touch sensitivity. Many lose True Tone permanently, have visible pixels, poor viewing angles, or fail completely within months.

You’ll end up paying for professional replacement anyway after cheap displays fail – meaning you’ve wasted money on DIY parts plus paying full professional repair costs afterward.

Time and Frustration

Most people take 2-4 hours attempting their first screen replacement, with high failure rates. Professional service takes under an hour with guaranteed results. Even if DIY succeeds initially, long-term reliability suffers from improper installation techniques.

Why Our Professional Service Delivers Better Value

We use quality display assemblies meeting Apple specifications – not bargain components that fail quickly. Our technicians have replaced thousands of screens and understand every potential complication.

Professional installation protects Face ID, cameras, and all sensors. We have specialised tools, proper heating equipment, and clean environments DIY attempts lack. If anything goes wrong during our repair, we fix it at no cost to you. Our replacement includes 12-month warranty coverage. Any screen issues within a year get resolved free of charge. DIY attempts offer no protection – failures mean buying another screen and potentially paying for additional damage repairs.
