Phone repair costs make more and more people nervous — and that's understandable. Last week, a customer walked in with an iPhone 13 that had cracked after a drop. He wasn't sure whether it was worth repairing. We see this every day in our workshop in Nijverdal. In this article, we give you a clear overview of phone repair costs for the most common issues, such as a cracked screen, a poorly charging battery or camera problems. Plus: why choosing a local repair shop in Twente is the smart move.
Quick summary: Phone repair costs depend on the type of device and repair, but at The Phone Shopper a screen repair starts from €59, a battery from €39 and a camera from €69 — and in most cases your device is ready the same day.
What are the average phone repair costs in the Netherlands?
Phone repair costs vary by brand, model and type of damage. The difference between an iPhone 13 and an iPhone 15 alone can result in a price difference of tens of euros. Over the past month, we've carried out an average of 30 repairs per week in Nijverdal, including screens, batteries and cameras. Below is an overview of the most common repairs and what you can expect to pay:
- Screen repair — iPhone: from €59 (e.g. iPhone SE 3), iPhone 14/15: from €99
- Battery replacement — iPhone: from €39, Samsung: from €29
- Camera repair — iPhone: from €69, Samsung: from €49
- Charging port — iPhone: from €49, Samsung: from €39
- Water damage — depending on damage, from €79
These prices include labour and parts. At The Phone Shopper, you're often back out the door within half an hour, and you get a 2-year warranty on the repair. Want to know more? Check our or visit us in Nijverdal.
What determines phone repair costs?
Phone repair costs are determined by a few key factors. First, the brand and model. iPhones are generally more expensive to repair than Samsung devices, especially when it comes to screens. Second, the complexity of the damage. A simple battery replacement is affordable, but a full screen replacement costs more. Third, parts availability. Some models are harder to source original parts for, which drives up the cost.
For example, an iPhone 13 screen repair costs an average of €99, while an iPhone 14 screen costs €119. This is because Apple consistently uses higher-quality screens. With Samsung, the price differences are smaller. A Galaxy S23 screen costs around €79, while a Galaxy S21 screen costs €69. So if you're wondering whether your phone is worth repairing, keep in mind that it's almost always cheaper than buying a new one.
Fast repairs vs. cheap repairs: which do you choose?
Sometimes you go for the lowest phone repair cost, only to find that quality takes a hit as a result. A fast repair at a reliable shop in Nijverdal is often the smarter choice. Our technicians use original or high-quality parts, and you get a 2-year warranty — a clear advantage over cheap online repair services that don't always deliver the same quality.
Say you have an iPhone 12 with a faulty battery. An online repair service offers it for €25, but if that battery fails after a few months, you'll end up spending more in the long run. At The Phone Shopper, you pay from €39, but you get a 2-year warranty and your device is up and running again within 30 minutes. Want to know what your phone is worth? Check our trade-in option.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of a screen repair?
A screen repair depends on the device, but on average it starts from €59 for an iPhone SE and goes up to €119 for an iPhone 15. Samsung screens are slightly cheaper, starting from €69. At The Phone Shopper, we use high-quality parts and provide a 2-year warranty on every repair.
What does a battery replacement cost?
A battery replacement is the most common repair we carry out. It starts from €29 for Samsung devices and €39 for iPhones. It's worth having your battery replaced if you notice a significant drop in charging capacity. Our technicians always check whether a replacement is actually needed before proceeding.
What is the most expensive repair I can get?
The most expensive repairs are typically a full screen replacement or water damage. A complete screen can cost up to €150, depending on the device. Water damage is harder to estimate, as it can affect multiple components. In these cases, it's definitely worth seeking professional support.
Can I get a repair done online?
Yes, but we recommend visiting a local shop in Nijverdal, like The Phone Shopper. Online repair services can be cheaper, but the quality and warranty are not always comparable. With a local shop, you can get help straight away and your device is usually back in working order within the hour.
What happens if the repair costs more than my phone is worth?
It happens more often than you might think. If phone repair costs exceed €100, it's often smarter to opt for a refurbished device instead. Our trade-in option makes this easy and gets you a direct payout within 24 hours. Find out more on our trade-in overview.
