Signs your screen needs replacing
The type of damage usually tells us which layer has failed:
Cracks, picture still fine
The outer glass may be the only casualty so far — but cracks grow, cut fingers and let damp in, so it’s worth fixing early.
Dark display, phone still alive
Notifications buzz and calls ring, yet the screen stays black: the panel has failed, often after an invisible knock.
Ghost touches or dead spots
Apps opening on their own or areas that ignore your finger point to a faulty digitiser, even under perfect glass.
Stripes, stains and stuck pixels
Vertical bars, a green OLED line or an ink-like spread tell us the panel itself has gone.
Flicker or fading
A loose connector or failing panel causes flicker; a laptop that dims over time usually has a backlight problem.
Pencil or S Pen skipping
Broken strokes while finger taps still work suggest the touch layer is wearing out.

MacBook screens
Every MacBook display is model-specific, and True Tone and Retina quality must survive the repair. Air and Pro screens replaced with a year’s cover. More on MacBook repair Colchester.

Galaxy displays are always genuine Samsung parts — see Samsung repair Colchester. Our national screen repair hub covers the wider service.
Screen repair prices in Colchester
Cost follows the device, its exact model and which layer is broken. Fresh glass on a five-year-old handset has little in common with a new flagship OLED or a big laptop panel, so we inspect before we price.
Once diagnosed, the quote is fixed and nothing starts without your say-so. Call in for a free inspection, or see an estimate on our screen repair booking page.
The right panel, carefully fitted — not a pop-up job
You’ll look at the new display every day, so its quality matters. We use OEM and premium displays matched to your device, so a phone built with OLED gets OLED back, keeping its contrast, sharpness and smooth motion.
Picture, touch and brightness are tested before you collect. CrC Repair®, which runs this shop and nine others, has been in business since 2004. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
Our method is described under high-quality repairs.
