What to know about back glass & housing

Rear-glass and housing replacement with careful device protection. Rear damage is assessed with the camera surround, wireless charging, housing and internal exposure in mind.

Keep sharp fragments covered loosely and mention camera or charging changes after the impact. The final route, price and expected timing are agreed after model, condition and part availability are confirmed.

How back glass & housing is assessed

Rear damage is assessed with the camera surround, wireless charging, housing and internal exposure in mind. The technician begins with the reported symptom, then checks related functions so the recommended work addresses evidence rather than the most obvious part.

Useful information before inspection

Keep sharp fragments covered loosely and mention camera or charging changes after the impact. Include when the fault began, whether it changes with movement or temperature, recent software changes, and anything another repairer has already attempted.

Parts, price and approval

Part availability and repairability depend on the exact model and condition. You should receive a clear proposed scope and price before material work starts, with further approval requested if inspection reveals a different fault or additional damage.

Testing and collection

After the agreed work, relevant functions are checked as far as the device condition permits. Keep the invoice and warranty information, inspect the device at collection, and report a related concern promptly so it can be reassessed.

Rear damage can be more than a cosmetic crack

A hard impact can damage camera lens glass, wireless-charging components, NFC hardware, frame edges or the battery beneath the rear panel. Note any change in camera focus, charging, signal or heat after the drop. Those symptoms need to be considered before a rear-only cosmetic repair is approved.

Housing condition affects fit and sealing

A rear panel needs a clean, correctly shaped mating surface. Bent rails, missing glass around the camera and old adhesive can affect fit. Where the device construction uses a full housing rather than a simple rear panel, the labour and transfer of internal parts can be substantially different.

Water resistance should be discussed realistically

Opening or repairing a previously cracked device means the original factory seal can no longer be assumed. Suitable replacement adhesive can be used where available, but customers should not treat a repaired phone as newly factory-certified waterproof.

Contact us
Can this symptom have another cause?

Rear damage is assessed with the camera surround, wireless charging, housing and internal exposure in mind. That is why the exact model and related functions are checked before the repair is treated as a simple part replacement.

What should be tested after back glass & housing?

The repaired function and closely related systems should be checked as far as the condition of the device permits. Any pre-existing fault that limits testing should be recorded.

How is back glass & housing diagnosed?

The exact model, reported symptom, visible condition and related functions are checked before a repair route is confirmed. Testing helps avoid replacing a part that does not address the cause.

What can change the quoted price?

Model variant, part choice, stock, frame or housing condition, previous work and additional faults found during inspection can affect price. Material changes should be authorised before work continues.

How long should I allow?

Common repairs may be available the same day when parts and capacity allow. Complex diagnosis, liquid damage, data work and board repair generally need longer.

What should I do before booking?

Back up important data where possible, identify the exact model and note liquid, impact, previous repair and intermittent symptoms.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk-ins are welcome at Union Street and Gloucester Road. Booking helps the team prepare and gives you a preferred time.

Is the selected time guaranteed?

The website records a preferred slot. The team confirms availability after checking the fault, parts and workshop capacity.



Before you decide

The questions worth answering before a repair

A better repair decision starts with the right information, not just a price.

Get a faster quote

Send the exact model, the visible fault and what happened before it started. A clear photo of physical damage can help with initial triage, although the final quote still depends on inspection.

Tell us what still works

Touch, cameras, Face ID or fingerprint, charging, sound and wireless functions create a useful pre-repair baseline. Mention anything already faulty so the repair can be tested fairly.

Protect your data

Back up important photos, messages and authenticator access where possible. Do not send passcodes in normal WhatsApp or email enquiries.

Repair or replace?

If the device has several faults, compare the proposed repair with battery condition, housing damage, replacement value and how long you plan to keep it.
