You’ve cracked your iPad screen and want to know what it will cost to fix. In Singapore the answer depends mostly on one choice: Apple or an independent repair shop. The two don’t just charge different prices; they do different things.
Quick answer: an independent iPad screen repair at BreakFixNow costs $89–199 depending on the model. Out of warranty, Apple’s service for a damaged iPad is a replacement unit from S$355 to S$1,765. With AppleCare+, Apple charges S$42 for a damaged screen.
Apple vs Independent: What You Actually Get
| Apple authorised service | Independent (BreakFixNow) | |
|---|---|---|
| Out of warranty, damaged screen | Replacement iPad, S$355–1,765 | Screen replaced, $89–199 |
| With AppleCare+ | S$42 screen fee | Use AppleCare+ instead |
| What you get back | A different iPad. Back up first. | Your own iPad |
| Older models (Air 2, iPad 6th gen and earlier) | Often not on the price list | Repaired if parts are available |
Apple figures are from an Apple Authorised Service Provider’s published iPad pricing in Singapore, including GST, as of July 2026. Check Apple’s iPad repair page for a current estimate for your model.
If your iPad has AppleCare+, go to Apple: S$42 is hard to beat. If it doesn’t, an independent screen repair usually costs a fraction of Apple’s replacement fee.

What Drives the Price
- Laminated or not. On a standard iPad, the glass is separate from the display, so cracked glass over a working picture can be replaced alone. On the iPad Air, mini and Pro the layers are bonded into one laminated display, so the whole assembly is replaced.
- Display type. A Liquid Retina LCD costs less than a mini-LED XDR or tandem OLED panel.
- Screen size. Bigger panels cost more.
- Part grade. Higher-grade parts keep brightness, True Tone and touch response closer to the original. Ask which grade you’re being quoted.
Repair or Replace?
For most iPads from the last five or six years, a screen repair is the better value. It becomes harder to justify when the iPad also has a worn battery, no longer gets iPadOS updates, or is worth less second-hand than the repair. Our guide Is an old iPad worth repairing? goes through that decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an iPad screen repair take?
Most iPad screen repairs at BreakFixNow are done in 1–2 hours.
Will I lose my data?
No. A screen repair doesn’t erase your iPad. Apple’s out-of-warranty service gives you a replacement unit, so with Apple you must back up first.
Is it safe to keep using an iPad with a cracked screen?
Cracked glass sheds fine splinters and cracks spread. Cover the crack with clear tape and get it repaired soon, especially if children use the iPad.
