Glass Only Screen Repair — When Can It Be Done?
If your display and touch are working fine, you may not need to replace the whole screen.
EziRepair offers professional Glass Only Repair for Samsung, iPhone, Oppo, Motorola, and Google Pixel using factory-grade OCA lamination.
If your phone’s screen shows a perfect image and responds normally, you can replace just the cracked glass.
No need to replace the entire display.
We use OCA vacuum lamination — the same process used by manufacturers — to restore optical clarity.
This service is ideal when display and touch are both functional.
If your screen has lines, black spots, or dead touch zones, a full replacement is required instead.
Before you bring it in — check these first
- Display: Image is clear and bright. No coloured lines or black patches.
- Touch: Works smoothly across the whole screen, no dead areas.
- Frame: No major bend or lift separating the panel from housing.
- Previous repair: Still original factory screen (not a copy or aftermarket).
Avoid cheap “quick fix” glue-on glass replacements — they trap dust and distort touch.
True glass-only repair uses OCA lamination and curing for optical precision.

We perform true glass refurbishment — not adhesive overlays
- Factory-grade OCA lamination: replaces the broken outer glass, keeps original display and touch digitiser.
- Supported brands: Samsung (LCD & AMOLED), iPhone (Original Display), Oppo, Motorola, and Google Pixel.
- Optical quality control: bubble removal, alignment, and pressure curing for factory clarity.
- Affordable: usually 40–60% cheaper than a full screen replacement.
Note: If the display or touch is damaged internally, we’ll recommend a full screen replacement instead.
