How Long Does a Screen Replacement Take in Christchurch?
Quick, Reliable Repairs — Without the Guesswork
When you’ve cracked your screen, time suddenly matters a lot. You don’t want to be without your phone all day — just long enough for it to come back looking brand new.
At Phone Repair NZ, most screen replacements are completed within two hours or less, depending on your model and part availability.
iPhone Screen Repairs — Usually Two Hours or Less
For most iPhone models, from the classics like the iPhone 8 right up to the latest series, a screen replacement typically takes around two hours.
That includes fitting and testing the new display so it looks and feels just right.
We keep parts for most iPhones in stock, so you can usually drop your device off and have it ready to collect later the same day.
Samsung and Oppo Repairs — Fast and Stocked
Samsung A-series phones and many Oppo models are also regularly stocked and generally take under two hours to complete.
We test all new parts before installation and make sure the screen fits perfectly into the frame before returning it to you.
For Samsung S-series or other premium models that use curved AMOLED screens, allow a little extra time — the adhesive process and alignment are more intricate.
Other Brands or Special-Order Parts
If your phone isn’t one we keep in regular stock, parts are usually ordered overnight and installed the following day.
Once they arrive, fitting and testing the new screen typically takes about two hours — so even with an order, you’ll rarely be without your phone for long.
Diagnostics and Complex Repairs
If your device isn’t powering on or needs diagnosis before the repair, we normally complete testing within two to three hours.
More complex cases — especially those involving board-level or liquid-damage repairs — may take longer, but we’ll always provide you with an estimated timeframe upfront.
Back Glass and Housing Repairs
Back glass replacements and housing jobs are generally completed within the day, depending on model and condition.
We use professional tools to separate and refit the glass safely, restoring the look and feel of the phone without risk of frame damage.
Fast Repairs, Honest Timeframes
Every phone is different, but one thing’s consistent: we’ll always tell you exactly how long your repair will take before we start.
Our Christchurch team aims to make every repair as quick and stress-free as possible — so you can get back to scrolling, texting, and living your life.
