Can you replace just the glass on an Apple Watch Series 4?
▼
No — and be wary of anyone who says they can. The Series 4 has its display bonded to the front crystal, so a cracked screen is repaired with a full display assembly. We fit the correct part for your exact model and case material.
How much does an Apple Watch Series 4 repair cost?
▼
It depends on the fault, the case size and the crystal your watch uses, so we run a free diagnostic and give you a fixed quote before any work starts. Apple Watch displays are genuinely expensive parts, so we would rather tell you honestly when a repair is not worth it than take the job regardless.
My Series 4 screen is lifting off — is that dangerous?
▼
Stop wearing it and bring it in. On the Series 4 a swelling battery pushes the display up and out of the case; left alone it can crack the screen, break the display cable or let water in. It is a straightforward repair if caught early.
Will my Series 4 still be water resistant after repair?
▼
We replace the seals whenever we open a watch, so water resistance is restored as far as is achievable on a repaired watch. We cannot re-certify Apple’s original rating, so treat it as splash- and shower-safe rather than for swimming or diving. We explain this before you book rather than after.
Do you use genuine Apple parts on the Series 4?
▼
We are an independent repair shop, not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, so we fit high-quality replacement parts rather than Apple service stock. We tell you exactly what is going into your watch before you agree to the work, and the repair carries our 30-day warranty.
How long does an Apple Watch Series 4 repair take?
▼
Battery work is usually quick once the correct cell is in stock. Display assemblies and water-damage cases take longer because the part has to be right and the watch has to be resealed properly. You get a realistic timeframe with your quote after the diagnostic.
Where do I bring my Series 4?
