Is your iPhone not holding charge like it used to? If you find yourself constantly reaching for a charger or experiencing sudden shutdowns, it might be time for a battery replacement. iPhone batteries are designed to last, but over time they naturally degrade, affecting your phone’s performance and battery life.
But how much will it cost to replace your iPhone battery in the UK and is it always worth it? In this article, we break down the typical costs for iPhone battery replacements, explain what affects pricing, and help you find the best repair solution for your needs.
What Affects the Cost of iPhone Battery Replacement?
Several factors can influence how much you pay to replace an iPhone battery. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision:
- iPhone model: Newer models, particularly those with more advanced battery management systems, often cost more to repair.
- Parts quality: Genuine Apple batteries are typically more expensive than high-quality third-party equivalents.
- Service provider: Whether you go to the Apple Store, an authorised repair centre, or an independent specialist like Repair It Reuse It affects the price.
- Warranty and service options: Some providers include battery health diagnostics or extended warranties within their service.
Whether you want a cost-effective iPhone battery replacement in Liverpool or simply need to know if your phone is worth repairing, it’s important to compare all your options.

Should You Choose Genuine Apple Batteries or Premium Alternatives?
Apple batteries come with the assurance of official compatibility and warranty support. However, independent repair centres like Repair It Reuse It can offer high-quality OEM-equivalent batteries that match or exceed Apple’s standards—at a more affordable rate.
Our batteries undergo strict quality control to ensure optimal performance, battery health longevity, and safety. Plus, every battery replacement we carry out is backed by a parts and labour warranty, providing the same peace of mind as a more expensive repair option.
Why Use a Local Repair Service Like Repair It Reuse It?
Choosing a trusted local repair provider over Apple or large national chains offers several advantages:
- Faster turnaround – many battery replacements completed within 1 hour
- Lower cost – save compared to Apple’s out-of-warranty fees
- Personalised service – honest advice and face-to-face communication
- Convenient Liverpool location – easy access without the long queues
- Support for older models – including iPhones no longer supported by Apple
At Repair It Reuse It, we prioritise quality, speed, and customer satisfaction in every battery replacement we perform.
Can You Replace an iPhone Battery Yourself?
While DIY iPhone battery replacement kits are available online, attempting this repair at home can be risky. Without the correct tools, adhesives, and experience, you could easily:
- Damage delicate internal components
- Compromise your phone’s waterproofing
- Install a battery incorrectly, creating a fire risk
- Cause further costly damage to the screen or connectors
Additionally, newer iPhones require battery authentication through Apple’s system to avoid warning messages. For these reasons, we highly recommend professional installation.
