Most phone screen repairs in Boca Raton take between 30 and 90 minutes from drop-off to pickup. For common models like the iPhone 13, 14, or Samsung Galaxy S series, same-day turnaround’s standard. The exact time depends on your phone model, damage severity, and whether parts are in stock — we’ll tell you upfront before any work starts.
Phone Screen Repair Time by Model
Repair time varies more by model than most people think. An iPhone 11 screen swap runs about 30–45 minutes. An iPhone 15 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra takes closer to 60–90 minutes — the internal layout’s denser and the adhesive needs more care to remove without damaging the frame. Based on hundreds of repairs we’ve completed at our Boca Raton shop, we’ve found that newer flagship models consistently require more precision work.
Here’s a realistic breakdown based on repairs we’ve completed at our Boca Raton shop:
| Device | Typical Turnaround | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 11 | 30–45 min | Starting at $89 |
| iPhone 13 | 45–60 min | Starting at $109 |
| iPhone 14 | 45–60 min | Starting at $119 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 60–75 min | Starting at $149 |
| iPhone 15 | 45–60 min | Starting at $129 |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 60–90 min | Starting at $169 |
| Samsung Galaxy (mid-range) | 45–60 min | Starting at $99 |
| Samsung Galaxy S-series | 60–90 min | Starting at $139 |

What Affects How Long Phone Screen Repair Takes?
Three things drive repair time: model complexity, parts availability, and hidden damage. Understanding each one helps you plan your visit.
Model Complexity
Newer flagship phones — iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra — use stronger adhesive and tighter internal tolerances. Our technicians know that removing the display without damaging the Face ID module or fingerprint sensor takes longer than on older models. That’s not a problem; it just means 60–90 minutes instead of 30–45. For more information on display technology, see Apple’s official support resources.
Parts Availability
Common models (iPhone 11 through 15, Samsung Galaxy S21–S24) are almost always in stock at both our Boca Raton locations. Less common devices — older Motorolas, certain LG models, niche Android brands — might need a parts order, which adds 1–3 business days. Call ahead with your model and we’ll confirm stock before you make the trip.
Hidden Damage
If the digitizer (the touch layer beneath the glass) is damaged, or if there’s internal frame damage from a hard drop, the repair takes longer than a clean glass-only swap. A quick visual check at drop-off usually tells us which situation you’re in. We give you a written quote before any work begins — no surprises.
How Much Does Phone Screen Repair Cost in Boca Raton?
Screen repair at Gadget Medics starts at $89 for most iPhones and $99 for Samsung Galaxy models. The price depends on your specific model and the extent of the damage. We give you a firm quote before touching anything — you approve it first.
A few things that affect the final price:
- Phone model and generation (Pro models cost more due to OLED display complexity)
- Glass-only damage vs. full display assembly replacement
- Digitizer or frame damage discovered during inspection
- Broken Club membership (members get lifetime warranty coverage on every hardware repair)
Every repair includes a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. Broken Club members get lifetime warranty coverage on every hardware repair — worth it if you’re hard on your phone.
What to Expect When You Come In
Walk-ins are welcome at both our Boca Raton locations. Here’s how a typical screen repair goes from the moment you arrive:
Drop-Off & Visual Check
We inspect the phone in front of you — takes about 5 minutes. We check for frame damage, touch response, and Face ID function so there’s no surprises mid-repair.
Written Quote
You get a firm price before we touch anything. No hidden fees. If additional damage turns up during the repair, we call you before proceeding.
Screen Replacement
Most screen replacements take 30–90 minutes depending on model. Our technicians use OEM-quality parts that match the original display brightness, color accuracy, and touch sensitivity.
Quality Check & Pickup
Before we hand the phone back, we test touch response, Face ID or fingerprint unlock, display brightness, and speaker output. You leave with a fully functional phone.
What Happens If You Leave a Cracked Screen Too Long?
A hairline crack looks minor. But cracked glass exposes the OLED or LCD layer underneath to dust, moisture, and pressure. In our experience fixing phones and consoles, we’ve seen plenty of cases where a straightforward screen repair turned into a much larger job because water got under the glass and damaged the display assembly.
The other risk is false economy. Waiting a few weeks to “see if it gets worse” almost always means it does. A clean crack repaired same-day is the cheapest version of this problem.
Waiting / DIY Repair
- Crack spreads with daily use
- Moisture enters through broken seal
- Touch response gets worse over time
- DIY kits risk permanent Face ID damage
- No warranty on parts or labor

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does phone screen repair in Boca Raton take?
Most phone screen repairs at Gadget Medics in Boca Raton take 30 to 90 minutes. iPhone 11 and 13 repairs typically finish in 30–45 minutes. iPhone 15 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S-series repairs run 60–90 minutes due to more complex internal layouts.

How much does phone screen repair cost in Boca Raton?
Screen repair starts at $89 for most iPhone models and $99 for Samsung Galaxy devices. The final price depends on your exact model and the damage type — glass-only cracks cost less than full display assembly replacements. Call Gadget Medics at (561) 279-6888 for an exact quote in under two minutes.
Do I need an appointment for a screen repair?
Walk-ins are welcome at both our Boca Raton locations. That said, calling ahead with your phone model lets us confirm parts are in stock and give you an accurate time estimate before you drive over. It takes two minutes and can save you a wasted trip.
Will my Face ID still work after a screen replacement?
Yes — when the repair’s done correctly. Face ID is tied to the original Face ID module, not the screen itself. We preserve that module during every screen replacement. DIY kits and inexperienced shops sometimes damage or disconnect it, which causes permanent Face ID failure. That’s why the repair process matters as much as the part.
What warranty do I get on a screen repair?
Every screen repair at Gadget Medics includes a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. If the display develops any issues related to the repair within 90 days, we fix it at no charge. Broken Club members get lifetime warranty coverage on every hardware repair — including screen replacements.
What if my phone has more damage than just the screen?
We check for frame damage, digitizer failure, and internal damage during the initial inspection. If we find anything beyond the screen, we tell you before starting work and give you an updated quote. You decide whether to proceed — no pressure, no hidden charges.
Do you repair Samsung screens, not just iPhones?
Yes. We repair Samsung Galaxy S-series, A-series, and Note models. Samsung screens — especially AMOLED displays on the S24 Ultra — take 60–90 minutes due to the curved glass and adhesive. We stock parts for the most common Galaxy models at both Boca Raton locations.
Is it worth repairing a cracked screen or should I just buy a new phone?
For most phones under 3–4 years old, repair’s the better value. A screen replacement at $89–$169 is a fraction of a new phone’s cost. We’ll tell you honestly if the repair doesn’t make financial sense — for example, if the phone has significant water damage or a failing battery on top of the cracked screen.
