Repair advice

Hi all

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has just visible cracks underneath the screen (the screen is fine).

I'm just trying to work out whether I can afford to get it repaired, and the best options.

Does anyone:

a) know how to describe this problem so I can get quotes on the phone and;
b) have a recommendation for where to get it repaired fairly cheaply (when I looked at videos of how to do it myself, it seemed like I might not get it back together right!)

Thanks

    Don't know about (b) but the glass screen is called 'digitiser'.
    The screen underneath is 'LCD screen/display' - this one needs replacing I guess.

    Looking on ebay both digitiser and LCD screen are glued together, are normally sold as an assembly and get replaced as such. I guess replacing LCD alone requires some skills.
