(And When to Just Let Go)

Someone drops it.
The screen cracks.
Everyone blames everyone else.
Now it’s your problem.

Let’s cut through the chaos and get you the facts:

• What it really costs to fix an iPad screen in Barrie
• When it’s worth doing
• And when you might want to retire it gracefully

What It Costs to Fix an iPad Screen in Barrie

Here’s what we charge at Barrie Screen Repair, on average:

iPad 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 (basic models):
$149+tax depending on the model and whether the frame’s in decent shape

iPad Air:
$125–$350 (some need a full digitizer + lcd)

iPad Pro (11″ and 12.9″):
$350–$550 depending on the model and how badly it’s cracked

iPad Mini:
$115–$450

Pricing depends on whether just the glass is damaged, if the LCD is gone too, and how much trauma the frame has endured. If your toddler launched it down a staircase, we’ll let you know what’s fixable.

Turnaround: 1 to 3 business days, depending on parts.

Can You Just Keep Using It?

You can. Plenty of people do. But here’s what usually happens next:

• Cracks spread and start to look like a DIY spiderweb
• Touch sensitivity gets weird
• Eventually, part of the screen dies completely
• You start slicing your finger every time you scroll

If this is a kid’s school iPad or a backup device, you might hold off.
But if it’s your daily driver, you’ll want it fixed before frustration reaches kitchen-appliance-throwing levels.

When It’s Worth Fixing

• The iPad still powers on and works fine
• It’s a fairly recent model or holds good resale value
• You just need the screen replaced — everything else is working
• Buying a new one isn’t in the cards right now

A screen repair can give you another 1–3 years of solid use. That’s more time to use the device and less money lost to an unnecessary upgrade.

When It Might Not Be Worth It

• The screen is cracked, the frame is bent, and the LCD is shot
• It’s a 10-year-old model you only use for Solitaire
• The repair cost is 75% or more of the value of the device
• You were already planning to upgrade and just needed the excuse

We’ll tell you straight. Sometimes we talk people out of a repair because it makes more sense to cut your losses. You’ll get honest advice either way.

A Few FAQs

Do you replace just the glass?
Sometimes. Depends on your model. Many iPads require full screen assembly replacements (lcd + glass).

Will my Apple Pencil still work after?
Yes, as long as it was working before the screen broke.

Do I need to back it up first?
It’s always a good idea, but we don’t erase anything. Your files, apps, and settings stay intact.
