A genuine Moto G replacement screen part costs between £14.98 and £40.59 in the UK depending on the model, while professional fitting at a repair shop typically adds labour on top — third-party UK repair-price comparison sites put full-service Motorola screen repairs from around £65 upward.1 The gap between those two figures is almost entirely labour and markup, not the part itself. Here's the real breakdown, model by model, so you can decide whether to DIY, pay for labour only, or use a full-service shop.
Moto G screen part prices by model
Prices below reflect live stock at The Repair Plus. Screen technology (LCD/TFT versus AMOLED) and whether the frame is included are the two biggest drivers of price within the range — not brand prestige or marketing, which is why a five-year-old budget model and a current flagship-adjacent model can differ by nearly three times in part cost.
| Model | Screen type | Part price from |
|---|---|---|
| Moto G8 Power Lite | LCD | £14.98 |
| Moto G31 | LCD | £14.98 |
| Moto G13 | LCD, with frame | £15.99 |
| Moto G9 Power | LCD | £16.91 |
| Moto G50 5G | TFT LCD | £17.79 |
| Moto G20 | TFT LCD | £17.99 |
| Moto G64 | OEM LCD | £18.02 |
| Moto G35 | OEM LCD | £19.89 |
| Moto G22 | LCD, with frame | £19.95 |
| Moto G14 | OEM LCD, with frame | £20.59 |
| Moto G54 | OEM LCD, with frame | £20.59 |
| Moto G05 | OEM LCD, with frame | £23.49 |
| Moto G84 5G | AMOLED | £40.59 |

See our model identification guide — prices and screen types vary enough between generations that ordering the wrong one is the costliest mistake you can make here, since the part itself typically can't be returned once fitted.
The three repair routes, and what each actually costs
Direct answer: DIY is cheapest (part price only), technician-fits-your-part is the middle ground (part price plus a labour-only fee), and full-service repair is most expensive (a shop's own part plus their labour, typically from £65 upward for Motorola devices in the UK1). The difference between the cheapest and most expensive route on the same phone can be £40–£50.
- Buy the part and fit it yourself: the part price only — £14.98 to £40.59 depending on model. See our step-by-step fitting guide to judge whether it's within your comfort zone before committing.
- Buy the part yourself, pay a technician to fit it: part price plus a smaller labour-only charge. Ask local repair shops directly what they charge to fit a customer-supplied part — this varies significantly by shop and isn't something we can quote on their behalf.
- Pay a repair shop to supply and fit the part: the most expensive route in almost every case, because you're paying for their parts markup on top of labour. UK repair-price comparison sites put full-service third-party Motorola screen repairs from around £65 upward.1
Why prices vary so much by model
Three factors drive the spread you see in the table above, roughly in order of impact:
- Screen technology. The Moto G84's AMOLED screen (£40.59) costs roughly double the typical LCD models because AMOLED panels are manufactured differently and cost more to source, full stop — this isn't a Motorola-specific premium, it's true of AMOLED versus LCD replacement parts across the phone repair industry generally.
- Frame inclusion. Screens supplied "with frame" bundle the metal chassis, which affects both price and how the fitting process goes — see our DIY fitting guide for how this changes the repair.
- Sourcing (OEM vs aftermarket). Original-specification parts generally command a modest premium over quality aftermarket equivalents. Our OEM vs aftermarket comparison covers how much this actually matters for a given use case.
What doesn't meaningfully affect price on this range: how "new" the phone feels to you personally, or the retail price the phone launched at. A budget Moto G Power Lite screen and a several-generations-newer LCD-equipped model can be within a pound or two of each other, because they use comparable panel technology — it's specifically the jump to AMOLED that changes the pricing tier.
What a £65+ professional quote is actually paying for
When a repair shop quotes £65 or more for a Motorola screen repair,1 that figure typically bundles three things: the part itself (their wholesale cost, likely similar to or slightly below our retail prices above), their labour (usually 20–40 minutes of a technician's time), and their margin on both. Supplying your own part and asking for labour-only fitting removes the parts markup from that equation entirely — you're only paying for the technician's time, which is usually the smaller portion of a full-service quote. Not every shop offers labour-only fitting, so it's worth asking before you buy the part, but many independent repair shops do.
Worked example: the real cost gap on two different models
Numbers are easier to reason about with a concrete comparison. Take a Moto G31 (£14.98 part) against a Moto G84 (£40.59 part) — a £25.61 difference in part price alone. If both are repaired via a full-service shop quoting from £65 upward,1 that part-price difference barely moves the final bill, because labour is a fixed cost regardless of which screen the technician is fitting. But if both are DIY repairs, the entire £25.61 gap is the total cost difference — there's no labour to dilute it. This is the core reason DIY saves proportionally more money on cheaper parts: fixed labour costs matter less the smaller the part price is relative to them. On a £14.98 screen, a £50 labour charge is more than three times the part cost; on a £40.59 screen, it's roughly 1.2 times the part cost. The economics of "is it worth doing myself" shift meaningfully by model, not just by your comfort with a screwdriver.
Hidden costs to budget for beyond the screen itself
The prices in the table above are for the display assembly only. Depending on your model and the condition of your phone, you may also want to budget for:
- Replacement adhesive if your model uses a glued rear cover or screen seal and the original adhesive is damaged during opening — typically a few pounds.
- A basic precision tool kit if you don't already own screwdrivers sized for phone repair (usually T3–T5 Torx and small Phillips) — a one-off cost that pays for itself after a single repair.
- A screen protector and case for the new screen, which is cheap insurance against needing to do this again.
None of these are required to complete a basic repair if your existing tools and adhesive are still usable, but it's worth checking the product listing for your specific model to see what's included with the screen assembly before assuming you need to buy them separately.
When professional fitting is worth paying for, even at the higher price
Cost isn't the only factor. Full-service repair at a shop is worth the premium if: you need the phone back the same day and can't wait for a part to arrive and be fitted yourself; the model uses AMOLED (like the G84), where a mistake during fitting risks damaging a more expensive panel; or you simply don't have anywhere safe and static-free to work. None of these apply to everyone, but they're the legitimate reasons to pay more rather than assuming DIY is always the "correct" choice — it's the cheapest choice, which isn't always the same thing.
Quick decision checklist
| Your situation | Best route |

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest way to fix a Moto G screen?
Buying the part yourself and fitting it is the cheapest route — from £14.98 depending on model, with no labour cost if you do it yourself.
Why is the Moto G84 screen so much more expensive than other Moto G models?
It uses an AMOLED panel rather than the LCD/TFT panels used across most of the range, which costs more as a part industry-wide — £40.59 versus typically £15–£24 for the LCD-equipped models.
Is it cheaper to repair a Moto G or replace the phone?
It depends on the model's age and current value — we cover this trade-off directly in Is It Worth Repairing a Moto G Screen?
Will a repair shop fit a screen I supply myself?
Many independent shops will, for a labour-only fee, though not all — it's worth asking directly before you order the part, since this determines whether the "buy the part yourself" route saves you money on your specific repair.
Does the frame affect how much a Moto G screen costs?
Yes — screens supplied "with frame" bundle the chassis and generally sit at a different price point than screen-only options for the same model family, and are usually easier to fit as a result.
Are these prices for genuine Motorola parts?
Listings marked "OEM" are sourced to Motorola's original specification; unmarked listings are quality aftermarket parts. Both are stated clearly on the individual product page — see our OEM vs aftermarket comparison for how to choose.
Do prices include VAT?
All prices shown are the live checkout price in GBP. If you need a VAT breakdown for business accounting, this is shown at checkout before payment.
How quickly will my part arrive?
Orders placed before 4:00pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same working day — see standard UK delivery timescales at checkout for your exact arrival estimate.
