Most Common Motorola Repairs
What comes through the workshop, across the Moto G, Edge and Razr lines.
Screen Replacement
Cracked glass, dead touch, lines down the panel. On a Moto G this is one of the cheapest screen repairs we quote — the phones sell in volume, so the panels are plentiful and inexpensive. Edge screens cost more: the OLED is bonded to the frame on several models, so the assembly goes in whole and there is no glass-only option.
1–2 hours* About Screen RepairsRazr Folding Screen
The expensive one, and worth understanding before you ask. The inner panel is not sold as a screen: it arrives bonded to its own frame, usually with the hinge covers attached. You are buying a chassis with a display on it, which is why a Razr inner-screen repair costs several times a conventional flagship screen.
Quoted after diagnosis*Razr Cover Display & Hinge
The cheap half of a Razr, and about half of what people actually come in with. The outer cover screen is an ordinary rigid panel at an ordinary price. The hinge is a third part again — grit, a loose action or a gap that has opened at the fold are mechanical faults, not screen faults.
Quoted after diagnosis*Battery Replacement
The classic Motorola job. These phones get years of software support and people keep them, so a Moto G or an Edge at year three or four usually needs nothing but a cell. Cheapest way to buy a working phone another two years.
About 1 hour* About Battery ProblemsCharging Port Repair
Charges only at an angle, or has stopped. Cleaned first — on these handsets a port packed with pocket lint is genuinely the whole fault more often than not — then repaired or replaced at the board.
1–2 hours* About Charging FaultsWater Damage Recovery
Ultrasonic cleaning of the board, then component-level work on whatever the liquid reached. Bring it in unpowered; every hour it spends switched on costs you options.
1–3 working days** About Liquid DamageSymptoms pointing in several directions? How Diagnostics Works
Times assume the part is already on the bench. Moto G parts are usually with us next day; Edge and Razr parts are ordered per repair. Tell us the model before you travel and we’ll confirm.
Liquid damage is quoted after the board has been cleaned and read, not before. If corrosion has reached the charging circuit or the power rails, the work runs longer — you hear that at the point we know, not at the counter.
What Decides the Price on a Motorola
Almost always the part, and on this brand the part varies more between lines than on any other.
Motorola Repair Specialist in London
Three lines, three completely different repair prices — and the difference is the part, not the labour.
A Moto G screen, an Edge screen and a Razr inner screen are three completely different numbers, and the gap between them is not labour — it is what the manufacturer sells as the smallest replaceable unit.
The grid above has three tiles and that is a leftover, not a limit — we take more Motorola enquiries than there are models on it.
Four things you’ll hear from us first
- Which line yours is in. Moto G, Edge and Razr are three prices, not one.
- What the part costs. On a Moto G it is the small half of the bill. On a Razr inner screen it is almost all of it.
- Whether it is worth it. On a Moto G it nearly always is. On an older foldable it sometimes is not, and we say so.
- What a repair changes. An opened phone is splash-resistant, not IP-rated, and a reworked hinge is not a factory hinge.
Why a Folding Screen Costs What It Does
The answer is not “because it is a foldable”. It is what you have to buy.
A flexible OLED cannot be laminated to its frame by hand. It is bonded at the factory, under conditions no workshop can reproduce, which means nobody sells the panel on its own. The smallest unit any supplier lists is the display assembly: the flexible screen already bonded to the inner frame, normally with the hinge covers and sometimes the side rails attached. Third-party listings say so in their own titles — “display with frame”, “inner display with housing”.
So when you replace a Razr inner screen you are not buying a screen, you are buying most of the front of the phone. The labour is comparable to any other display job; the part is several times the price of a conventional flagship panel, and that is the whole of the difference. Anyone quoting a folding screen at rigid-screen money has either not priced the part or is not fitting the right one.
Two practical consequences. First, tell us which screen is broken: a cracked outer cover display is an ordinary repair at an ordinary price, and it is what most Razr owners actually have. A dark line along the fold, dead touch down the crease or a bubble under the surface is the inner assembly, and that is the expensive one. Second, do not peel the inner screen. The layer on top of it looks like a screen protector and is not — it is part of the panel, and removing it destroys the display. If the price is what stops you, ask about a tested used part: a screen or a board taken from a working handset and checked before it goes in, where one exists for your model. On foldables that is often the difference between repairing and replacing.
Which Line You Are In Decides the Price
Moto G. Sold in enormous numbers, and parts follow volume: screens and batteries here are among the cheapest we buy from any manufacturer. On a three- or four-year-old handset a screen is a fraction of what replacing the phone costs, which is why this is one of the few brands where the awkward conversation rarely comes up.
Edge. Mid-range money. Several Edge models bond the OLED to the frame, so the assembly goes in whole and there is no cheaper glass-only route — the same situation as a curved Samsung or OnePlus flagship.
Razr. Two screens and a mechanism, priced as three separate repairs: cover display ordinary, hinge quoted on what it needs, inner assembly the expensive one. All three diagnosed before quoting, because guessing which is wrong would mislead you about the bill by a factor of several.
Three Tiles Here, the Whole Range on the Bench
Razr, Edge, Moto G, Moto E, ThinkPhone and a long tail of older Moto X and Moto Z handsets all come through the workshop. Two conditions, the same as on every phone that lands on the bench: the part still has to exist, and the price has to make sense to you. On the older handsets it is board-level work that decides it — microsoldering, hot air rework, ultrasonic cleaning and microscopes, for corroded boards after liquid damage, phones that will not power on and charging circuits that have failed rather than ports that wore out. Most shops replace parts; when the fault is on the board there is nothing to swap.
Not on the grid, or not sure — ask for a quote with the model name and you get a real price back. You can also post it: tracked and insured from anywhere in the UK, and back the same way. See how mail-in works.

Motorola Repair FAQs
Mostly about parts, because that is what decides the bill.
Why is a Razr folding screen repair so expensive?
Because of the part, not the labour. A flexible OLED is bonded to its frame at the factory and nobody sells the panel separately — the smallest unit available is the display assembly: screen, inner frame and usually the hinge covers. Replacing the inner screen means buying most of the front of the phone, which is several times what a conventional flagship panel costs. The outer cover display is an ordinary rigid screen at an ordinary price.
Which of my Razr screens is broken?
It matters, because the two are not close in price. A crack or dead touch on the outer cover display is a normal screen repair. A dark line along the fold, touch that has died down the crease, or a bubble under the surface is the inner assembly. If you are not sure, bring it in or send a photo of both screens and we will tell you which one you are looking at before quoting.
The film on my folding screen is peeling. Should I take it off?
No. That layer looks like a screen protector and is not one — it is part of the panel, applied at the factory, and pulling it off destroys the display. If it has started lifting at an edge, bring the phone in rather than helping it along.
You only list three models. Do you repair the rest?
Yes. The grid is what has a page here, not what we take, and we get considerably more Motorola enquiries than there are models on it. Razr, Edge, Moto G, Moto E, ThinkPhone and a decade of older handsets all come through. Give us the model name and you get a price back.
Is it worth repairing a Moto G?
Almost always, and this is the brand where that answer is easiest. Motorola sells the Moto G line in volume, so screens and batteries for it are among the cheapest parts we buy, and the phones get software support long enough to be worth keeping. On an older handset where the panel would cost more than the phone is worth we say so — but that comes up far less often here than elsewhere. If the price is what stops you, ask about a tested used part: a screen or a board taken from a working handset and checked before it goes in, where one exists for your model. On foldables that is often the difference between repairing and replacing.
How does the diagnostic fee work?
Diagnostics is £39, paid upfront — at the counter, or online if you post the phone in. Go ahead with the repair and the fee is credited in full. If the phone turns out to be beyond economical repair, the fee covers the work of finding that out. Foldables are always diagnosed before they are quoted.
Where are you, and can I post it in?
One workshop: 136 Kingston Road, Wimbledon, London SW19 1LY. Open Monday to Friday 9am–6pm and Saturday 9am–4pm. Posted repairs come from anywhere in the UK, tracked and insured both ways — tell us the model and the fault first so the part is on the bench when the phone lands. See how mail-in works.
