    My wife dropped her iPhone 6 and smashed the screen.

    Can anyone recommend a good screen repair place In Dublin / Kildare?

    Not necessarily the cheapest as got a screen repaired before and it was terrible, screen wasn't flush with button. Want a good quality fix.

    Thanks

    If you want it done properly get it done by apple, they do screen repairs (collect&return). Cost €121.30, I don't think there's already a big supply of non-apple screens (the ones the repair shops use) so doubt they'll be much cheaper.

    I went through that site and entered all my info and the price is coming up as nearly €300....

    I've never tried it myself before. Seems like you're getting the out-of-warranty repair price quoted, that's for a full repair/replacement. If you follow the link and select "warranty & service pricing" you can see the price for screen replacement only. I would just call apple to set it up.

    Edit: maybe this is the cause:
    ----When you request screen repair online or by phone, Apple will place an authorization on your credit card to cover the iPhone out-of-warranty service cost shown below in the Out-of-Warranty Service section. This is the cost for replacing the screen and fixing any additional damage. We'll charge this amount if your iPhone is eligible for out-of-warranty service and our diagnostic test shows additional damage. If your iPhone has no damage other than the screen, we'll charge the screen repair service fee.----
    As said just give apple a call.

    Thanks for that. Will give them a call tomorrow.
    The thoughts of getting the phone repaired by apple seems promising. Assuming its €125
