Glass-Only Screen Repair for Phones and Apple Watch
Your phone hits concrete. The glass spider-webs across the screen. But here's what most repair shops won't tell you: that cracked glass doesn't always mean you need a full screen replacement. At onoff.gr, we offer specialized glass-only replacement that can cut your repair bill in half. Using advanced separation machines, autoclaves, and OCA laminating equipment, our experienced technicians restore your device to factory condition while preserving the original display underneath. This demanding process requires equipment most repair centers don't own.
📱 Why Choose Glass-Only Replacement Over Full Screen Swap?
Most people don't know glass-only replacement exists. They walk into repair shops expecting to pay for a complete screen assembly when only the top layer needs fixing. This technique cuts repair costs by more than half. Take the iPhone 15 Pro: glass replacement costs €150.82 (ex VAT) or €187.02 (inc VAT), while authentic full screen replacement hits €345.95 (ex VAT) or €428.98 (inc VAT) — that's over 56% savings!
