How much does a phone screen repair cost in Courtice?

A cracked screen repair at Phone Studio in Courtice runs about $59–$329 for most iPhones and $99–$379 for Samsung Galaxy phones: a fraction of the price of a new handset, and most of them fitted in under an hour. Apple and Samsung charge more for an out-of-warranty screen, and independent shops vary widely depending on the panel they fit. Here are the real 2026 prices, why the gap between shops is so big, and when a cracked screen is actually worth fixing.

How much does a phone screen repair cost in 2026?

For most phones, a screen repair lands somewhere between about $90 and $450 CAD, and the spread comes down to two things: the phone, and the type of replacement screen. At Phone Studio in Courtice, iPhone screens run about $59–$329 and Samsung Galaxy screens about $99–$379, depending on the model and whether you choose a quality aftermarket panel or a genuine-grade one. Apple’s and Samsung’s own out-of-warranty prices sit at the top of the range. Here’s how the main options compare.

iPhone screen repair cost by model (2026)

Apple’s out-of-warranty iPhone screen replacement ranges from about $229 for an iPhone SE to $499 for a Pro Max in 2026, and the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Pro and Pro Max, falls within that same range. If you have AppleCare+, a screen repair is a flat $39 service fee instead of the full price. At an independent shop like ours, an iPhone screen is usually cheaper out of warranty (about $59–$329 at Phone Studio) because we can fit a quality aftermarket OLED as well as a genuine-grade panel, and tell you the difference up front.

Samsung Galaxy screen repair cost (2026)

Samsung Canada’s official out-of-warranty screen repair runs about $233 for a Galaxy S24 up to roughly $417 for an S25 Ultra; older Ultras and foldables cost more. The newer Galaxy S26 lineup lands in that same $233–$417 band, with the Ultra toward the top. A Galaxy Z Fold inner-screen module can run over $800. At Phone Studio, a Galaxy screen is about $99–$379, and we’ll tell you whether your model takes a genuine “service-pack” OLED or a quality aftermarket panel before we start.

How much does a Google Pixel screen repair cost?

Google doesn’t publish a fixed out-of-warranty price list for Pixel screens the way Apple and Samsung do, so a Pixel repair is quoted on the spot instead of off a public table. The same ranges and logic from the tables above still apply: the panel tier you choose moves the price, not the labour, and every quote is free and in writing before we start.

We fit Google Pixel screens regularly in Courtice, from a Pixel 10 to older models. Bring yours in for a free diagnosis and we’ll confirm a firm price before any work starts.

How much does back glass repair cost?

Back glass is a separate job from the front screen. Replacing the rear glass on modern iPhones and Samsung phones needs a laser separation process on the bench to lift the old panel off the frame without damaging it, not a simple panel swap, and front-plus-back damage from a single drop is common enough that we quote the two jobs separately.

Because the parts and process vary so much by model, back glass repair is quoted on the spot after a free look at the phone, the same way every repair here works. Bring yours in and we’ll tell you exactly what’s involved and the price before any work starts.

Why does one screen cost $90 and another $400?

The single biggest factor in a screen’s price is the panel itself, not the labour. Since the iPhone X, iPhones use OLED screens, and there are real quality tiers. A genuine or “service-pack” OLED from Apple or Samsung matches the original exactly (colour, brightness, True Tone, Face ID) and costs the most. A quality soft-OLED aftermarket panel comes very close for less. A cheaper hard-OLED or LCD copy costs the least, but can look dimmer, show slightly different colour, or crack more easily, sometimes erasing the saving the first time you drop it.

Is a cracked screen worth fixing, or should I replace the phone?

Do the arithmetic: if a screen repair costs less than about half the price of a comparable new phone, fixing it wins. A genuine iPhone Pro Max screen at $499 is still barely a third of a $1,500 replacement, and an aftermarket screen on a mid-range phone tips even further toward repair. The main reason to replace instead is age: if the phone is more than five years old, no longer getting security updates, or already has other failing parts, put the money toward a new one.

There’s an environmental case too. The world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022 and properly recycles barely a fifth of it, so a screen that keeps a working phone out of a drawer is an easy win for more than your wallet.

How long does a screen repair take, and will I lose my data?

Most phone screens are a same-day repair, often done in under an hour while you wait, when we have the part in stock. A screen replacement is a hardware swap: your storage is never opened, so your photos, messages and apps stay exactly as they are. We still recommend a backup before any repair, just on principle. Every screen we fit carries a 90-day warranty on parts and labour, and the diagnosis is always free.
