iPad screen replacement cost at Nova Fix runs from $69.99 to $499.99, and the biggest factor is how your model is built. On standard iPads the glass and LCD are separate, so a cracked surface can cost much less. Air and Pro displays are bonded, so the whole assembly gets replaced.
No repair on our price list has a wider range than this one. The cheapest iPad screen costs a fraction of the most expensive, and the reason has nothing to do with how bad the crack looks. It comes down to how your iPad was built.
Why the same crack costs different amounts
Standard iPads and older models are built in layers. The outer glass carries the touch sensor, and the LCD that makes the picture sits under it. If you crack the surface and the picture still looks right, only the glass needs replacing. That is why we list Screen and LCD separately on those models, and it is where the savings are.
Recent iPad Air and mini models and every iPad Pro bond those layers into one laminated panel. There is no glass-only repair, so a crack means a whole new display assembly. Those models have one listed price, and it is higher.
So check two things before you call. Is the picture normal under the crack? And is your iPad a standard model, or an Air, mini or Pro? Open Settings, tap General, then About to see the model name.
Lines across the picture, black patches or a screen that lights up with no image mean the LCD is damaged too. Dead spots in touch can be the glass or the connection, and we test that before you commit.

How Apple's price compares
Apple's estimator does not list a separate iPad screen line. It gives one "other damage" figure per model, and Apple inspects the iPad to set the final fee. We read those figures on Apple's iPad repair page on November 5, 2026.
| Model | Apple's "other damage" estimate against ours |
|---|---|
| iPad 9 | Above our full Screen and LCD price, and three times our glass-only price |
| iPad 10 | About 40 percent above our LCD price |
| iPad Air 5 | About double ours |
| iPad Pro 11 (3rd gen) | About double ours |
| iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd and 4th gen) | More than double ours |
Out of coverage, then, an independent repair usually costs much less. With AppleCare, the sum changes: accidental damage is a service fee, and on a Pro that fee is worth checking before you do anything else.
Fix it or replace it?
Compare your quote with a working used iPad of the same model, not with a new one. A cheap glass repair on an iPad 9 is an easy yes for a tablet that still does its job.
An old iPad Pro needs more thought. A bonded display near the top of our list can cost as much as a used replacement, and if the battery is also tired you would be paying twice. Check whether your iPad still gets iPadOS updates too, since a repair stops paying off once your apps stop working.
Back up before you hand over any iPad if the screen still responds. Then see how the work goes on our iPad repair page, book a repair, or use mail-in service if you can't get to Chicago Ave.
