iPhone 12 repair prices

Prices include the part and fitting. Most repairs take up to 60 minutes and come with a 3-month warranty.

Charging port

If your iPhone 12 only charges when the cable is held in place, says "accessory not supported", or won't charge at all, the charging port is the likely cause. Liquid damage and a lot of plugging in and out wear the contacts over time.

We inspect the port under magnification and clean it. If it is worn or corroded, we replace the charging port or the charging flex it sits on, then test charging, fast charging and data before you leave. On many models this also restores the bottom microphone, which shares the same part.

Pocket fluff is the most common reason a port stops working. If charging becomes fussy again, switch the device off and gently clear the port with a wooden toothpick, never metal, or ask us to clean it.

The iPhone 12 charging port costs from £50, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Microphone

An iPhone 12 with a faulty microphone records muffled voice notes and video, and callers struggle to hear you.

We find which microphone is at fault, clean or replace it and test calls, voice notes and video recording.

Cases that cover the microphone holes can make you sound distant on calls, so check the cut-outs line up.

The iPhone 12 microphone costs from £50, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Earpiece speaker

If people sound faint or muffled on calls but speakerphone is fine, the iPhone 12 earpiece speaker or its mesh is the problem.

The earpiece is checked and replaced if it has failed, and we test it on a call before you leave.

Screen protectors that cover the earpiece slot can muffle calls, so choose one with a cut-out for the speaker.

The iPhone 12 earpiece speaker costs from £50, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Loudspeaker

A crackling, quiet or silent loudspeaker on an iPhone 12 affects music, video, ringtones and speakerphone. Liquid, dust in the speaker mesh or a knock can all cause it.

The loudspeaker is tested, cleaned and replaced where needed, and we play audio through it at full volume to check for rattles.

Keep the speaker grilles clear: a soft dry brush removes most dust and fluff. If the device gets wet, switch it off and let it dry fully before playing audio.

The iPhone 12 loudspeaker costs from £50, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Battery

An iPhone 12 battery wears out with every charge cycle. The usual signs are a phone that dies at 30 or 40 per cent, shuts down in the cold, needs charging twice a day or feels warm and slow. A swollen battery that lifts the screen or back should be replaced straight away and not charged.

Battery swaps are done at the bench while you wait in most cases: open, disconnect, remove the old cell, fit the new one, close up and test charging and health.

A new battery lasts longest when it is kept between roughly 20 and 80 per cent most of the time and away from heat. If the device gets very warm while charging, take the case off.

The iPhone 12 battery costs from £59, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Screen replacement

Most people notice a damaged iPhone 12 display straight away: shattered glass, a black or flickering picture, ghost touches that open apps on their own, or a patch that no longer responds. When the glass and the panel underneath are bonded together, both are replaced as one part.

We remove the damaged display, check the connectors and frame for bends, fit the new screen, refit any sensors and seals that carry across, and test touch, brightness, True Tone or auto-brightness where the phone has it, and the front camera and earpiece around the display before you take it back.

To protect the new display, a tempered glass screen protector and a case with a raised edge are worth the small cost. Most cracks start at a corner, so a bumper that covers the corners does most of the work.

The iPhone 12 screen replacement costs from £69, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Volume button

Volume buttons on an iPhone 12 can stop clicking, stick down or change the volume on their own after wear or liquid.

We replace the volume button flex and test both buttons, screenshots and any shortcuts that use them.

Tight cases often press the volume buttons in pockets; a case with proper cut-outs helps them last.

The iPhone 12 volume button costs from £79.99, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Silent switch

If the iPhone 12 silent switch feels loose, won't flick or the phone stays on silent, the switch or its flex has worn.

We replace the switch and test ring and silent modes before you go.

Avoid prying the switch with a fingernail at an angle; a straight flick is all it needs.

The iPhone 12 silent switch costs from £79.99, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Power button

An iPhone 12 power button that sticks, needs a hard press or does nothing makes it hard to wake, lock or restart the phone.

We replace the power button flex or switch and test it alongside the other buttons.

If a button starts to stick again, it is usually dirt or a tight case pressing on it; try the device without the case first.

The iPhone 12 power button costs from £79.99, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Other repairs

If your iPhone 12 has a fault that isn't listed here, such as liquid damage, no power or a problem after a drop, we can still help.

We look at the phone, tell you what is wrong and what it will cost before we start. For a quick idea of the price, send us a photo and a short description on WhatsApp.

Whatever the fault, switch the device off if it has been wet and don't try to charge it until we have checked it. That gives liquid-damaged boards the best chance.

The price depends on the fault, so we quote it after a quick check. Most of these repairs take up to 60 minutes, and come with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Common problems we fix on the iPhone 12

Cracked screens and worn batteries are the most common repairs, followed by charging ports that stop working reliably. We also see speakers clogged with dust, microphones that callers can't hear and cameras that won't focus after a drop. If a fault isn't listed, ask: most problems on the iPhone 12 can be checked the same day.

Before you bring your iPhone 12 in

• Back up your photos and messages if the iPhone 12 still turns on.
• Bring your passcode so we can test the repair with you; we never browse your data.
• Remove the case and screen protector if they are easy to take off.
• Bring the charger if you think the fault might be the cable.

Signs your phone needs a repair

• Cracks, lines or black patches on the screen, or touch that stops working in places.
• Battery that runs out by the afternoon, drops in jumps or shuts down with charge left.
• Charging that only works at an angle or with one particular cable.
• Callers who can't hear you, or sound that crackles or has gone quiet.
• A camera that won't focus, shakes or shows a black screen.
• Buttons that stick, need a hard press or do nothing.

If you notice any of these, it is usually cheaper to fix them early. A cracked screen lets dust and moisture in, and a tired battery puts strain on the rest of the phone.

What affects the price of a repair

The prices on this page are for the part and fitting. The main things that change a price are the model, the part needed and whether there is more than one fault. A cracked screen on a phone that has also been dropped in water, for example, may need more than one part.

We always check the phone first and tell you the price before we start. If we find something else while it is open, we ask before doing any extra work, so the price you agree is the price you pay.

How long repairs take

Most repairs are done while you wait, usually within an hour, so you can stay in the shop or pop out and come back. Some parts for older or less common models need ordering, which is why we ask you to book online or message us on WhatsApp before you visit, so we can make sure the part is ready.

If a repair is going to take longer, for example a board repair or a part on order, we tell you when you drop it off and let you know as soon as it is ready.

Our warranty

Every repair comes with a warranty on the part we fit and our work. If the repair develops a fault within the warranty period, bring it back with your receipt and we will check it and put it right. Keep your receipt or booking confirmation, as it shows the date of the repair.

The warranty covers the part and the work we did. If the phone is dropped or gets wet again after the repair, that is new damage, and we will quote for it in the same way as before.

Repair or replace?

A repair is almost always cheaper than a new phone, and it keeps your data, settings and apps exactly as they were. As a rough guide, if the phone does everything you need and the repair costs less than a third of a replacement, repairing it is the better value.

It can be worth thinking twice if the phone has several faults at once, no longer gets software updates, or has been badly damaged by liquid. In those cases we will tell you honestly what we find and what the repair would cost, and you decide. If you do decide to replace it, we also buy used phones, so your old device may still be worth something.

Collection and postal repairs

Can't get to Leagrave Road? We collect broken devices from around Luton and bring them back once they are fixed. If you live further away, our postal repair service lets you send the phone to us and have it returned after the repair.

Contact us first on WhatsApp or by phone on 01582 511611, tell us the model and the fault, and we will confirm the price and how to send it. Pack it well, switch it off and include your name, phone number and a short note of the problem.

Your data and privacy

Repairs at Mega Mobiles are done in the shop, and we only use your passcode to test the repair with you. We never reset a phone without asking, and we never look through photos, messages or apps.

It is still sensible to back up before any repair if the phone turns on, just as you would before an update. If it won't turn on, bring it in anyway: most of the time the data is untouched by the fault.

Looking after it after the repair

Use a case with raised edges and a screen protector, keep the phone out of hot cars and direct sun, and charge it with a good-quality cable. If anything about the repair doesn't feel right afterwards, bring it back and we will check it within the warranty.
