How much does a TV repair cost?
A TV repair usually costs £50 to £90 in labour plus the part: £50 to £150 for a power board, £70 to £200 for a backlight. A new screen panel is £100 to £400 for the part alone, so a cracked screen is rarely worth fixing.

What’s usually included
- Finding the fault, often with a fixed diagnosis fee
- A quote before any repair
- The part and fitting
- Testing the TV before it's handed back
What changes the price
- The fault: boards and backlights are worth fixing on a good TV; screens rarely are
- TV size and model
- Whether parts are still available
- Repair at home or in the workshop
Before you book anyone, check
- Your rights first: under the Consumer Rights Act a fault that was there when you bought the TV can be the retailer's to fix for up to six years (five in Scotland)
- The diagnosis fee, and whether it comes off the repair
- A guarantee on the repair
- Whether home insurance covers accidental damage
Apps not working or the picture freezing? Try a software update and a reset first, or a streaming stick: they fix most smart TV problems for far less than a repair.

Questions
- Is it worth repairing my TV?
- Usually yes for a backlight, power board or HDMI fault on a TV that cost more than about £400. Rarely for a cracked screen, or a cheap TV where the repair costs most of a new one.
- My TV is under a year old. Should I pay for a repair?
- No. Go back to the retailer: a fault found within six months is presumed to have been there when you bought it, and most TVs come with at least a year's manufacturer warranty.
