iPad 5 (2017) & iPad Air 1 Glass Screen Repair – £69.99
The iPad 5 and iPad Air 1 are reliable workhorses, but their non-laminated screens make the outer glass particularly vulnerable to cracks. At Atlantis, we utilise a “Stay Calm” approach to repair. We do not need to replace the entire display at a high cost; we specialise in glass-only (digitiser) replacement. This process preserves your original LCD, saving you money while maintaining the vibrant colours and brightness you expect, all for a fixed price of £69.99.
Meet Our Skilled Technicians
Our workshop is led by Atlantis, with over 20 years of specialist experience in Apple hardware. Every iPad repair is conducted with clinical precision in our Canterbury workshop. We don't just "swap parts"—we meticulously clean internal components, reshape dented corners to ensure a flush fit, and ensure every ribbon cable is seated perfectly to prevent future "ghost-touch" issues.

Questions and Answers
Can I replace just the glass on my iPad 5 or Air 1? Yes! Because these models feature a non-laminated display, the outer glass digitiser is a separate part from the LCD. This allows Atlantis to replace just the broken glass, which is significantly cheaper than a full display unit replacement.
Does the repair affect my Home Button or Touch ID? We carefully transfer your original home button to the new glass panel. This ensures that Touch ID (on the iPad 5) and the tactile “click” feel remain exactly as they were before the damage.
How do I know if my LCD is also damaged? If your iPad shows lines, black spots, or discolouration, the LCD is likely damaged. However, if the image is perfect but the glass is cracked, our glass-only repair is the ideal solution.
Is it worth repairing an older iPad in 2026? Absolutely. These models remain excellent for streaming, browsing, and education. For a small investment of £69.99, you can extend the life of your device by years rather than paying hundreds for a new one.
