How Long Does a Screen Replacement Take in Christchurch?

Cracked your screen and wondering how long you’ll be without your phone? At Phone Repair NZ, we know time is critical. Here’s what to expect.

Typical Times for Most Repairs

For most iPhones and Samsung models we see in Christchurch, screen replacements are completed in two hours or less. 

That includes fitting, testing, and handing the phone back to you ready to go.

What Affects Repair Time

• Model & display type: Curved or premium displays (like Ultra models) take slightly longer due to alignment and adhesive work. 

• Parts availability: If we have the screen in stock, you’re usually done the same day. If not, ordering overnight adds time. 

• Diagnosis required: If the screen crack also indicates hidden damage (touch issues, display issues, water entry), the initial check may add a little extra time.

Why We Give Accurate Estimates

We believe in transparency. When you drop your phone in, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe — not a promise we can’t keep. Our goal is to have you back with your phone as quickly as possible, without compromising quality.
