Cracked Your Phone Screen? What To Do Next — Bournemouth Owner’s Guide (2025)

If your screen just broke, breathe. This short, practical guide shows exactly what to do to protect your data, avoid further damage, and choose the right repair option — without getting upsold or losing a day of your life.

Do this first (and what to avoid)

✅ Do

  • Back up immediately (iCloud/Google) if the screen still responds.
  • Apply a temporary screen protector or tape to stop glass shedding.
  • Power off if the glass is flaking or the frame is bent.
  • Take clear photos of the damage (front, corners, and any bend).

⛔ Avoid

  • Pressing hard on dark/inked areas — that worsens OLED damage.
  • DIY glue — capillary action can kill the earpiece & sensors.
  • Continuing to use a spider-cracked screen in rain (liquid ingress).
  • Putting it in rice — it’s not liquid-damage anyway.

Secure your device: step-by-step

  1. Check touch & display: can you still swipe, type, and see the screen? If yes, back up now.
  2. Cover the glass: place a sacrificial protector or clear tape across large cracks.
  3. Inspect the frame: look for corner dents or a slight bend — note this in your message to us.
  4. Power management: if the screen flickers or shows “ink,” keep battery above 20% and avoid heat.
  5. Contact us with photos: we’ll confirm the part (OLED/LCD), stock, and the best price for your model.

Repair options: OLED vs LCD — which is right for you?

Many modern phones (iPhone & Samsung) ship with OLED displays. At We Fix BCR we stock factory-spec OLED screens and, where appropriate, a budget-friendly LCD alternative. Here’s the honest difference:

OLED (like-for-like)

  • Deep blacks, higher contrast, better viewing angles.
  • Thinner/lighter, typically better touch response.
  • Best if you’re fussy about colour/brightness, or plan to keep the phone.

LCD (budget option)

  • Lower price point, great for trade-ins or second phones.
  • Slightly cooler colours and thicker assembly than OLED.
  • Ideal if you just want it usable again at minimum cost.

Not sure? Send a quick WhatsApp with your make, model, and a photo of the damage — we’ll advise the most sensible option.

Turnaround you can plan around

  • Same-day on common models (subject to stock — message first for confirmation).
  • Diagnostics available when there’s touch/face-ID/ghost-touch behaviour.
  • Data stays yours — we don’t wipe devices unless you ask us to.

Why choose We Fix BCR

  • Local, established, trusted: 15+ years on Google with a 4.9★ rating.
  • Transparent advice: OLED vs LCD explained — you choose the priority (price vs perfection).
  • No-nonsense warranty: clear terms, sensible exclusions, and real aftercare.
  • Data-respectful process: repairs without unnecessary resets.

FAQs

How long does a typical screen repair take?
Often same-day for common models (stock-dependent). Message us first to lock in a slot.
Will I lose my data?
No — a screen swap does not require wiping. We advise backing up as a best practice.
Is a budget LCD OK on phones that shipped with OLED?
Yes if cost is the priority. Colour/contrast differ slightly; we’ll show you before you decide.
Can you repair cracked glass only?
On most models we replace the full display assembly for reliability. Ask if glass-only is viable for your device.
