Cracked phone screen? What to do first

Keep using it safely, protect your data and know what to tell us.

Guide

Updated

A cracked screen is the most common repair we see. Here’s what to do before you bring it in.

1. Check it’s safe to use

  • Sharp glass: if pieces are loose, cover the screen with clear tape or a screen protector so you don’t cut your fingers.
  • A bulging screen can mean a swollen battery underneath. Stop using and charging the phone, and bring it in.

2. Back up now, while it still works

A cracked screen can stop responding without warning. Back up your photos and messages today. See how to back up before a repair.

3. Note what’s wrong

Tell us what you can see: lines, black patches, flickering, or parts of the screen that don’t respond to touch. It helps us quote accurately.

4. Get a quote

Send us the model and fault online, or walk in. Every repair is quoted for your device before any work starts, and you choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts.
