iPads can develop a few different problems over time. Cracked and broken screens are among the most common, but we also see hardware faults and other issues that can stop the device working properly.
A bit of damage does not necessarily mean you have to toss the device and replace it with something new. Superficial or minimal damage can be quite easily repaired.
We assess every iPad before starting any repair, so you know what’s wrong and what it is likely to cost before deciding whether to go ahead. We repair newer and older iPad models in our own shop rather than sending the work elsewhere. We also keep commonly needed parts in stock, which can help speed things up, and some repairs may be completed the same day depending on the fault, model and parts availability.

Should You Repair or Replace Your iPad?
It depends on four things:
- The repair cost relative to a replacement iPad
- The age and model of your device
- How severe the fault is
- Does it still suits what you need it for.
A screen or battery repair is often worth it even on an older iPad, since it’s a fraction of replacement cost. More serious damage, or multiple issues at once, is worth weighing against replacement, especially on an older model.

Frequently Asked Quastions?
Is it worth repairing an older iPad?
Often, yes, for common faults like a screen or battery, particularly if the iPad still suits your needs. For more serious damage or multiple faults on an older device, it’s worth getting an assessment before deciding, since repair cost can start to approach replacement cost.

Is it Better to Repair or Replace an iPad in South Africa?
A number of important considerations must be considered when deciding whether to repair or replace an iPad. First, you should look at the prices. If fixing it would cost less than getting a new iPad, then it’s typically the better option. It may be more cost-effective to buy a new iPad if the cost to fix it is close to 70% of the retail price. You should also consider the device’s age and its potential future use. For example, repairing an iPad that is less than three years old is more cost-effective because these devices probably still receive updates and work effectively. Older iPads, on the other hand, may not be compatible with new apps or security features, so it would be wise to replace them. This is particularly true if they do not support the most recent iOS updates.
Fixing small problems, like a broken screen or battery, is usually worth it, but replacing it could be necessary if the problem is serious, such severe water damage or a failing motherboard. Before making a final choice, it is wise to acquire a professional opinion.
