Cheap screen repair in Düsseldorf — what makes the price

With a screen repair, you don't pay for a piece of glass. You pay for a part, for the work on it, for the test afterwards, and for someone standing behind the job if something isn't right.

These items are in every offer, even when they aren't listed separately. The difference between two prices almost always comes from one of them being smaller — or missing entirely.

The purchase prices of the different quality grades of a display are worlds apart. Anyone offering a very low price has almost always saved at this point, not on their own margin.

We work with original parts. On request we also fit tested aftermarket parts, and for an older device that is often the sensible choice.

Which differences you actually notice in everyday use is covered in detail in the article on original versus aftermarket parts. Here it is only about one thing: that this very item is what makes the price.

On almost all current devices, the cover glass, touch layer and screen are firmly bonded together. For the price, this means you pay for the whole unit, even if only the glass is cracked.

That is why an offer to replace only the glass is rarely the bargain it looks like. Whether your model can really be worked on separately is something we see on the device — there is a separate page on glass repair for that.

The first things to go are the ones you can't see when you pick up your phone. That is exactly why they only become noticeable weeks later.

The first point on the list costs the most. If the sensor strip isn't transferred from your old display, Face ID stays off for good.

No spare part can make up for that later, because these components belong to your device, not to the display. How this works technically is explained in the article on Face ID after a screen replacement.

The same goes for the test. A touchscreen that fails at the edges goes unnoticed in the first hour — but not when you type an address two weeks later.

Two prices can only be compared if the same service is behind them. These four questions clear that up in one phone call.

The diagnosis is free, even if you decide against the repair afterwards. We look at the device and tell you what it really is.

Then you hear the price before we start. For older models we give you both grades so you can choose between them.

You can come by without an appointment — we are on Münsterstraße in Düsseldorf-Derendorf. A quick call beforehand still helps, because then the right spare part is already waiting.

The cheapest repair is the one that is done once and then lasts. Opening the device a second time costs working time again, a seal again, and your time again.

For an older device, the cheaper spare part grade is often exactly right. Sometimes it decides whether the repair is still worth it at all.

And if it no longer is, we tell you. How to draw that line for yourself is explained in the article on repairing versus buying new.
