iPad screen glass repair in Antwerp

Is only the glass of your iPad cracked, while the display and touch response still work as they should? Then you don't need a full screen replacement. With a glass repair, we replace only the top glass layer of the screen in Antwerp — considerably more affordable than a complete screen replacement, and you keep your original Apple display.

Replacing just the glass is precision work: the cracked glass layer is separated from the display module and replaced with a new glass panel. We carry out this repair for all iPad models — iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad Mini.

When is a glass repair enough?

Not every screen damage qualifies. A glass repair is possible when:

• the display still works — no black spots, colored lines or dead pixels in the image;
• the touch response is fully intact — the screen reacts correctly everywhere and without delay;
• only the glass is cracked — the damage is limited to the outer glass layer.

If your iPad meets these conditions, a glass repair saves you considerably compared to a full screen replacement. If the display or touch response is damaged, we fit a new screen module instead — see iPad screen replacement.

Glass repair or full screen replacement?

With a glass repair, your original Apple display is preserved, including the original image quality. With a full screen replacement, we fit a new screen module; that's the solution when the display or touch response is also faulty. Repairing only the glass is technically more complex, but it's the more affordable option for you. You receive a warranty on the repair carried out. We determine which repair your device needs with a free diagnosis in our store.

How we replace the glass of your iPad

1. Preliminary inspection — we thoroughly test whether the display and touch response are undamaged.
2. Removing the glass — the cracked glass layer is separated from the display module using heat and a special cutting wire.
3. Cleaning the display — glue residue and dust particles are carefully removed.
4. Laminating new glass — a new glass panel is applied to the display with optically clear adhesive (OCA).
5. Curing — the module cures under pressure and UV light for a bubble-free bond.
6. Assembly and final test — the screen goes back into your iPad and is thoroughly tested.

This procedure requires specialized equipment and experience. We advise against attempting it yourself: without the right technique, there is a high risk of damage to the display or digitizer, which would ultimately make the repair more expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Does my iPad qualify for a glass repair?

That depends on the damage. If the display shows no spots or lines and the touch response reacts correctly everywhere, we can repair the glass of your iPad separately. If in doubt, we test your device in our store in Antwerp — the diagnosis is free.

Do I need to make an appointment for a glass repair in Antwerp?

An appointment isn't required: you can stop by for a free diagnosis. Booking an appointment online is of course also possible.

How quickly is the glass of my iPad replaced?

A glass repair is precision work: the new glass is laminated and cures under UV light. The repair can often be carried out smoothly; you'll find the repair time per model in the price table on this page.

Does the Apple Pencil keep working after a glass repair?

Yes. With a correctly performed glass repair, Apple Pencil functionality is fully preserved: the underlying digitizer is not affected by this repair.
