Maybe it slipped off the kitchen counter. Maybe your toddler used it as a frisbee. Maybe you looked at it wrong and it cracked out of spite. Either way — here we are.
A shattered iPad screen isn’t just a cosmetic problem. It makes everything harder: tapping, reading, scrolling, and, let’s be honest, pretending your life is together.
But should you fix it? Or is it smarter to ditch it and get something new?
Let’s break it all down — real costs, repair options, and how to decide if it’s worth it.
At Barrie Screen Repair, we fix iPad screens constantly — from basic school iPads to high-end iPad Pros that deserve their own security detail.
Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Standard iPads (6th, 7th, 8th, 9th Gen):
$149+tax
Depends on whether it’s just the glass or the LCD underneath too.
iPad Air (any gen):
$125–$375+tax
Air models can be trickier due to bonded screens.
iPad Pro (11″ and 12.9″):
$250–$550+tax
These are laminated screens and expensive to replace. But also… you paid a lot for it, so keeping it working makes sense.
iPad Mini:
$125–$500+tax
Small but mighty — and yes, the screen still cracks just as easily.
Here’s when it definitely makes sense to repair your screen:

Sometimes it’s not worth it. We’ll tell you that too.

You can. People do. But here’s what usually happens:
If you’re using your iPad for anything more than a paperweight or bedtime YouTube, a cracked screen becomes a serious quality-of-life issue.
Glad you asked. Here’s what we do — and what you should expect from anyone touching your iPad:
It’s not just about getting a new screen on. It’s about getting it done right — so you’re not back here next month with a new set of problems.
We’d love to see you again — but not for the same issue. Here’s how to keep your fresh screen in one piece:
