cosmetic damage cost?

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:47:10 GMT

I have the Samsung galaxy s5 & the camera lens has cracked and it isn't covered by insurance ..

how much does it roughly cost to repair? The camera still works and stuff.

Probably not too much. If you send it in to O2 repairers they will quote you before starting any work - You can then choose to accept it or not and have the phone returned to you free.

Okay, thank you!

I'm just dreading in case the quote a high amount.

Have you checked any household insurance and check your bank account as some offer cover you may not be aware of.

T&C and excess fee's will apply.

If I was pushed for a price I'd say around £35 quid but that's only based on parts and an hours labour charge....

Get a quote from an approved repairer first then decide how to pay for it based on the cost....
Just make sure repairer is Samsung approved or else warranty will be voided.....

I suggest you pop into your local hospital and sell a kidney first

Why is it not covered on insurance?

Isn't that what insurance is for accidental damage

Depends on the policy - It might just be third party fire and theft
