Where to repair a cracked surface pro 6

[JLJ]

wife dropped her tablet and its cracked now. Its out of warranty and MS wants 430 quid to replace it with a refurbished one.
Considering the 7 is out, not really that keen on this option.
Is it possible to repair this for a more reasonable amount?
Thanks
Jon

Should be, there are many companies that offer repair services (especially screen replacement) on a wide range of devices.

Depends where you are based I suppose as to whether there are any good local ones, but there are business' which offer postal services as well. - BE INCREDIBLY CAUTIOUS with postal repair companies though. Check and read reviews first, from impartial third parties like TrustPilot.

Couple of companies I found on Google say £150~ region for a Pro 6 screen repair.

One example: https://uk.electronic.partners/services/microsoft/
Reviews: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/uk.electronic.partners

(Just the first one I found, I'm not necessarily recommending them!)

Yeah, I saw them as well, bit of a drag having to mail it out.
Do those phone repair shops on the high street do tablets, or would that be a bad idea.

Thanks for feedback. I found a local shop and its going to cost about 200 quid for an original screen. Way too fiddly for me to even attempt it myself. Hopefully they do a good job. Only worry is its nearly 2 years old, so the battery might start to go downhill soon.
