Two phones can have very different repair prices. These are the main factors that decide what you pay.
- Your exact model. Newer flagships with OLED or curved displays cost more to repair than older or budget phones.
- Genuine or aftermarket parts. Genuine parts match original performance and feel. High quality aftermarket parts cost less and still carry our warranty. We always explain the difference so you can choose.
- How much is damaged. A cracked outer glass is cheaper than a screen that has lost touch, colour or brightness, because more of the display assembly needs replacing.
- The type of repair. A battery or charging port is usually cheaper than a full screen. Water damage and motherboard work are quoted case by case.
Because OZ Tech Deals comes to you, there is no postage wait and no trip to a shop. If we cannot fix the device, you are not charged for the repair. We only ask for a small fee to cover return postage if a device needs to be shipped back.
How long does a phone repair take?
Most common repairs, like a screen or battery replacement, are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, so you get your device back the same day. Our technician carries common parts and tools to your location, which is why so many bookings are done on the spot. More complex jobs such as water damage, software faults or data recovery can take longer, and we will tell you the expected time before we start. With more than 10 years of repair experience and Apple certification since 2018, the focus is always on doing the job properly the first time.
Should you repair or replace your phone?
A simple rule works well: if the repair costs less than about half the price of a good replacement, fixing it is almost always the smart choice, especially for a screen or battery on a phone you otherwise like. Repairs are cheaper, faster and far better for the environment than buying new.
If your phone is several years old, no longer holds security updates, or has multiple faults at once, replacing it can make more sense. In that case a certified refurbished phone gives you most of the savings of a repair with a fresh device and a long warranty. You can browse our refurbished iPhones and refurbished Samsung phones, all tested and backed by a 24 month warranty. If you are not sure which way to go, ask us for a quote and we will give you an honest answer.
How do you protect a phone after a repair?
Once your screen is good as new, a little protection keeps it that way and saves you the next repair bill. A quality tempered glass screen protector takes the impact of most drops, and a proper case absorbs the rest. Our protection bundle covers both in one go.
A 3 in 1 kit to keep your phone safe from day one. Far cheaper than another screen repair down the track.

How long do screen repairs take?
Most phone screen and battery repairs take 30 to 60 minutes and are done the same day, on the spot at your home or workplace. More complex repairs like water damage or data recovery can take longer, and we confirm the timeframe before starting.
Can a cracked phone screen be repaired?
In most cases, yes. A cracked screen is one of the most common and straightforward repairs. Even when the glass is badly shattered or the touch has stopped working, the display assembly can usually be replaced. Book a free quote and we will confirm what your device needs.
Do you come to me, and which areas do you cover?
Yes, we come to you. Our technician travels to homes and workplaces across Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs, including Rowville, Knoxfield, Ferntree Gully, Wantirna South, Glen Waverley, Wheelers Hill, Mulgrave, Scoresby, Lysterfield, Endeavour Hills and Narre Warren North.

What warranty comes with a repair?
Phone screen repairs come with a lifetime warranty on the screen, whether genuine or high quality aftermarket. iPad, MacBook and laptop screen repairs carry a 12 month warranty. Battery replacements carry a 6 month warranty, and other repairs such as charging ports, cameras, microphones and speakers carry a 12 month warranty. Warranties cover the part and workmanship but not new physical or liquid damage.
Will my device stay water resistant after a repair?
Most modern phones are rated IP68 water resistant rather than fully waterproof, and even Apple, Samsung and Google do not cover water damage under warranty. We reseal and reassemble your device to the same standard as the manufacturer to keep its water resistance, but we still recommend keeping it away from water after any repair.
Cracked screen or dying battery? We come to you
Apple certified, genuine or quality aftermarket parts, most repairs done in 30 to 60 minutes across Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs.
