A Samsung Galaxy that needs charging several times a day may only need a new battery. The price depends on the model, the replacement part and the work needed to open and reseal the phone. Use the UK estimates below to plan your budget, then request a quote for your exact model.
| Galaxy family | Indicative battery replacement cost | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A series | £35–£69 | Confirm the exact A-series model and battery specification. |
| Galaxy S10 and S20 series | £45–£85 | Ask whether fitting and testing are included. |
| Galaxy S21, S22 and S23 series | £59–£119 | Check the part type and repair warranty. |
| Galaxy Note series | £55–£99 | Confirm parts availability for older models. |
| Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip | Quote required | Provide the precise model; foldable repairs need an individual assessment. |
Price note: These are indicative ranges, not guaranteed September 2026 shop prices. They reflect the guidance previously published on this page. Newer Galaxy S models and foldables need a model-specific quote. Ask whether VAT, labour, adhesive, testing and the warranty are included.
Battery wear often develops gradually. A diagnosis is useful if your phone:
Heavy apps, a weak mobile signal, a faulty charger and charging-port problems can produce similar symptoms. Check battery usage in the phone’s settings and try a known-working compatible charger before assuming the battery is at fault. If the back cover or screen is lifting, stop charging the phone and seek professional advice; do not press or puncture a suspected swollen battery.
The exact Galaxy model matters more than the series name alone. Labour and parts can also differ between an older Galaxy A handset, a recent Galaxy S phone and a Fold or Flip. Ask each repair shop for a written quote stating the battery type, labour charge, expected turnaround, testing and warranty. Opening a sealed phone can affect its water resistance, so ask what sealing work is included without assuming the original rating will be restored.
If the phone is otherwise reliable, a battery replacement may be better value than replacing the handset. If it also needs substantial display or board work, compare the combined repair quote with the cost of a suitable replacement phone.
For a broader explanation of battery faults, read our phone battery replacement guide. The battery replacement service overview covers other devices, while our iPhone battery cost guide is useful if you are comparing repairs for more than one handset.
If a battery is only one of the problems, compare Galaxy screen repair costs, charging-port fault options or camera repair services. Request a combined quote when several faults need attention.
Parts availability and turnaround differ between shops. Use the relevant location page to explore local phone repairs, then give the shop your full Galaxy model number:
For location-specific advice on symptoms and quotes, see the Manchester phone battery replacement guide.
If several faults make repair uneconomical, explore recycling options for an unwanted Samsung phone. For other household or business devices, see electronics recycling and collection options. Back up the phone and remove personal data when it is safe and possible to do so. Tell the receiving service if the battery is damaged or swollen.
Repair businesses holding separated components can read about mobile phone circuit-board recycling or Manchester mobile-board recycling services. Keep loose batteries separate from circuit boards and follow the recycler’s handling instructions.
The indicative ranges on this page start at £35 for some Galaxy A models and reach £119 for some Galaxy S models. Fold and Flip devices need an individual quote. The final price depends on the exact phone, part and provider.
Rapid drain and unexpected shutdowns can suggest battery wear. Charging that cuts in and out when a cable moves may point to the cable or port. A repairer can test the phone before recommending a replacement.
Some shops offer same-day work when the correct battery is in stock. Confirm availability and the testing time for your model before travelling.
A routine battery replacement does not usually require a reset, but back up important photos and files before any repair. Ask the provider if additional diagnosis could involve a reset.
Stop using and charging the device. Do not bend, puncture or try to remove the battery yourself. Contact a qualified repairer or an appropriate recycling service for handling advice.
For Galaxy S21, S22 and S23 phones, use the S-series guide range on this page as a starting point, then confirm the exact model before booking. Battery specification, adhesive, labour, testing and warranty can all change the final Samsung battery replacement cost.
For Galaxy S24 and newer models, request a model-specific quote rather than assuming an older S-series price applies. If the phone also has display damage, compare the Samsung screen repair cost guide. For wider battery faults, see the battery replacement service guide.
