If you’re a Tesco Mobile customer and your Samsung screen is cracked or broken, you might wonder: how much will Tesco Mobile charge to get it fixed? While Tesco Mobile doesn’t run its own repair centre, they offer repair options via partners — and understanding the typical costs and process can help you decide whether to go through them or look elsewhere.

1. How Tesco Mobile Repair Works
Based on Tesco Mobile’s own support pages:
- You can have your device repaired via **WeFix doorstep service**. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Alternatively, Tesco can arrange to **collect** your phone from you. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- You also have the option to **post your device** in a pre-paid Jiffy bag. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Tesco Mobile states they’ll send you an **estimate before performing the repair**, so you know what you're paying for. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
2. What Affects the Repair Cost
Several factors determine how much Tesco’s repair partner might charge for screen repair:
- The **model** of your Samsung – newer or premium models (like S‑series or Fold) will cost more to repair. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Whether the repair uses **genuine Samsung parts** or third-party equivalents. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- The repair method: whether it's full front panel replacement or just the glass. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Any “convenience” or **call‑out surcharge** from WeFix for doorstep service. Tesco mentions there is an additional convenience charge for out-of-warranty doorstep repairs. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Whether the phone is **in warranty** under Tesco Mobile’s own 24-month warranty. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
3. Estimated Repair Costs via Tesco Mobile
Tesco Mobile doesn’t publish fixed screen-repair prices by model, so we have to rely on typical UK repair costs from third-party repair services + Tesco’s repair options to make reasonable estimates:
| Samsung Model (Typical) | Estimated Repair Cost via Tesco / Partner (£) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A‑series (mid-range) | £80–£150 | Replacement with a good quality (possibly OEM) screen, based on independent repair pricing. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10} |
| Galaxy S‑series (flagship) | £200–£300+ | Flagship AMOLED screen cost + labour, consistent with out-of-warranty Samsung repair ranges. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} |
4. Insurance, Tesco Protect & Screen Repair
If your Tesco Mobile plan includes **Tesco Mobile Protect**, this might affect your repair cost:
- Your policy’s **terms and excess** depend on the device model. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
- For screen damage, you may need to pay the excess, but the repair could be done through Tesco’s damage-claim process. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
- When making a claim, Tesco may offer a “lower cost repair option” depending on the damage and the device. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
5. Pros & Cons of Using Tesco Mobile’s Repair Route
- Pros: Convenient pick-up or doorstep service, one point of contact via Tesco, ability to get a quote before repair.
- Cons: Potentially higher cost than local independent shops, limited parts transparency, extra surcharge for convenience.
6. Tips for Reducing Your Repair Cost with Tesco
- Ask Tesco for a full quote including parts + labour *before* authorising the repair.
- If you have **Tesco Protect**, check your excess and what repair options are offered under a claim.
- Compare the Tesco quote with local independent repair shops to see if the difference is worth the convenience.
- Backup all data before sending your phone — repairs may involve a reset. Tesco also recommends removing passcodes. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
7. Real-World User Experience
“I sent my shattered Galaxy A32 to Tesco Mobile using their pre-paid Jiffy bag. The repair quote came back around £120, which I thought was fair. It took about 9 working days for me to get the phone back.” — Tesco user (paraphrased)
Conclusion
There’s no fixed “Samsung screen repair price at Tesco Mobile” for all models — costs depend heavily on your device, whether you're in or out of warranty, and the parts used. However, based on typical UK third-party repair pricing and Tesco’s own service options (WeFix, courier), you’re likely looking at around **£80–£150 for mid-range Samsung devices**, and **£200–£300+ for flagships**. To keep costs down, always ask for a detailed quote, check your insurance or Tesco Protect, and compare with independent repair shops.
