Most repair shops will not put a number on a page. We will. These are the genuine ranges we invoice, inclusive of parts, labour and VAT — and the reason each one is a range rather than a single figure.
No "from £19" bait, no diagnostic fee that quietly reappears on the invoice. These are the three ways we work, and the price you are quoted after diagnosis is the price you pay.
£29 one-off
For when you do not yet know what is wrong — and you want an honest answer before you spend anything.
from £89 parts & labour
The everyday repairs: cracked screens, dead batteries, snapped hinges, failing drives, loose charging ports.
from £199 per board
Component-level work most high-street shops refuse: liquid damage, dead boards, no-power faults, lost data.
Prices shown are typical starting points including VAT, and vary with the model and the part. A 2019 Dell Inspiron screen is not a 2024 MacBook Pro screen. You always receive one fixed, written quote first — see the full price list by fault and brand, or read how we reach a figure in our laptop repair cost guide.
Ranges, not single figures, because a 2016 Inspiron screen and a 2024 MacBook Pro screen are not the same part. Your written quote lands inside the range for your specific model — never above it.

Screens are the single most misquoted repair, because "a 15.6-inch screen" describes six different parts at six different prices. This is the honest breakdown.
| Panel type | Typical fitted price | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| HD (1366×768) TN | £109 – £139 | Budget 14" and 15.6" Windows laptops |
| Full HD IPS, non-touch | £129 – £179 | The most common replacement we fit |
| Full HD 120–165Hz | £169 – £239 | Gaming machines; refresh rate must match |
| QHD / 2.8K IPS | £189 – £259 | Premium ultrabooks and creator laptops |
| 4K or OLED | £239 – £379 | Colour-critical; panel part number match essential |
| Bonded touch assembly | £219 – £399 | Glass and digitiser fused to the panel |
| MacBook Air / Pro display | £229 – £549 | Model and generation dependent |
If we open a machine and find a second fault, we stop and re-quote — we never carry on and add it to the bill. If the job turns out simpler than we expected, the invoice goes down. In 12 years we have never sent a customer a bill larger than the figure they approved. Read the detail in our terms and conditions, or see how the process works on the homepage.
No queue, no call centre, no "we will have to send it away". Describe the symptoms and a LaptopHaber.com engineer replies with the likely cause and a price bracket — usually within two working hours, always before you commit to anything.
