Despite certain people slagging Apple off on here, I have to say they are pretty reasonable on pricing when it comes to out of warranty replacements. 
 
You don't really get that with other phone manufacturers as far as I know. 
 
The insurance company will probably send out a refurb anyway so I'd recommend just paying the £60 and getting it done that way.

True, not only that they make them fairly easy to repair, unlike for example the SGS3, you're looking at £175 for an aftermarket non-gen replacement screen fitted.

We charge £60.00 and is done within the hour. 
 
 
   
 
I charge £50-£60! Done two 4's this week, same two people also broke them a couple of months ago, easy money! 
   
 
Do people pay that? People moan when I tell them £30   
 
I don't see why people would pay me £50-£60 to do it when they can get it done at a professional shop for the same price with peice of mind/gaurantee etc.

Yeah, I've done loads now for about £60 me supplying screens. 
 
Do all the iPhone repairs at work too but obviously don't charge for those! 
 
Can do them in 20mins or so so not a bad earner if can get them.
