Repair usually makes sense when
The phone is newer, the issue is isolated, data is safe, and the repair cost is far below replacement value.

Rule of thumb
If a repair is minor, the device is newer, and the rest of the phone works well, repair often makes sense. If the phone is older, damaged in multiple ways, or near the cost of replacement, compare carefully before paying.
