The Top 5 Most Common Phone Repairs

Summer is here! Vacations, festivals, pool days, and outdoor fun are in full swing — and that means smartphones are getting more use (and abuse) than ever. Unfortunately, more time outside often leads to more accidental drops, spills, and damage.

At Stop to Fix, we notice a surge in repairs every summer, so we thought it would be helpful to share the top 5 most common phone repairs. Whether you’re a smartphone owner looking to prevent damage or just curious about which issues we fix the most, here’s what you should know.

📊 How Often Are Phones Repaired?

Research shows that 20%–40% of smartphone users need a repair at some point to keep their devices working properly.

The #1 issue? Broken screens — accounting for a whopping 50%–70% of all phone repairs we see at Stop to Fix.

But screens aren’t the only thing that break. Here’s our list of the five most common phone repairs we perform in our store.

1️⃣ Screen Replacement

No surprise here — a cracked screen is by far the most frequent repair we handle at Stop to Fix. Screens are fragile, and one drop on concrete can shatter them instantly.

Our tip: Use a tempered glass screen protector and a quality phone case to reduce the risk of damage. If your screen is already broken, we use high-quality replacement screens to get your phone looking and working like new.

2️⃣ Battery Replacement

Batteries wear out over time, leading to faster draining and more frequent charging.

How to make your battery last longer:

• Avoid overheating your phone.
• Keep battery level between 20% and 80%.
• Use certified charging cables.

When replacement is needed, Stop to Fix installs OEM-quality batteries to restore your phone’s original battery life.

3️⃣ Water Damage Repair

Even with water-resistant devices, liquid damage is still common — and it can cause everything from unresponsive touchscreens to a completely dead phone.

Prevention tip: If you’re heading to the pool or beach, store your phone in a waterproof phone pouch. If water damage does happen, bring it to Stop to Fix right away for a professional cleaning and repair before corrosion sets in.

4️⃣ Charging Port Repair

If your phone is charging slowly or not charging at all, the charging port may be the culprit. Dirt, dust, and daily wear can cause poor connections.

At Stop to Fix, we clean and repair charging ports — and if needed, we replace them entirely so your phone can charge like it did when it was new.

5️⃣ Home Button Issues

For phones with a physical home button, wear and tear can cause problems with navigation, unlocking, or Touch ID. At Stop to Fix, we can repair or replace the home button to restore full functionality.

Based on our shop data and customer requests, the most commonly repaired phone models at Stop to Fix are:
