An iPad screen replacement in the UK costs from around £46.98 for the display, depending on the model — far less than an Apple repair or a new tablet. iPad repairs are trickier than phones because the glass is large, heavily glued, and on some models the glass (digitiser) and LCD are separate layers. Here’s the cost by model and what to know before you buy.
iPad screen replacement cost by model (UK)
| Model | Replacement screen from |
|---|---|
| iPad 10.2 | £46.98 |
| iPad Mini 4 | £46.98 |
| iPad 10.5 | £79.98 |
| iPad Air 3 | £79.98 |
Match your exact model (Settings > General > About, or the A-number on the back) before ordering — iPad screens are very model-specific.
Glass, digitiser or LCD — which do you need?
Direct answer: if only the outer glass is cracked but the display and touch work, some older iPads let you replace just the digitiser (glass) cheaply. If the display shows lines, black patches or dead touch, you need the LCD/display assembly. When in doubt, the full display assembly is the reliable fix. On newer iPads the glass and digitiser are fused, so a full assembly is usually the sensible option.
Why iPad repairs need extra care
- The large glass is heavily glued and cracks easily during removal — patient, even heating is essential.
- Some models have the front camera and home button/Touch ID to transfer across.
- Take care around the battery, which sits under much of the panel.
If you’re not confident with a large glued screen, buy the correct part and have a technician fit it. Repairing a phone instead? See our Samsung and Pixel screen guides.
