iPhone: back glass smashed

Back Glass Replacement starts from €50 depending on the model. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

From the iPhone 14 onwards the back glass can be removed on its own, so it is no longer a full housing transfer. On the iPhone 8 through 13 the glass is laminated to the frame and has to be broken out and cleared, which is why those models cost more to do.

On most recent phones the back panel is bonded to the frame with adhesive that only releases under heat, and on some models the glass has to be removed in pieces with a laser and the residue cleared before the new panel goes on. It is slow work, and the price is mostly labour.

You can, but two things follow. Loose glass keeps shedding splinters, and a broken back stops wireless charging working properly on many models. Water resistance is gone either way until it is sealed again.

Yes, back to the iPhone 7 and often further. Parts for older models are frequently easier to get than for the newest ones, and the repair usually costs less.

Saturday 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, closed Sunday. No appointment needed on any of those days.

Usually. A phone that shows nothing is often a phone whose screen is dead rather than a phone that is dead, and the two look identical from the outside. Finding out which is free.

On some models and some tiers, yes, and it appears in Settings under Parts and Service. It does not change how the phone works. We tell you before the repair whether the part we are fitting will show it.

Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given back.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

360 days on parts and workmanship. If the same fault comes back and it was not caused by new damage, we repair it again at no cost. Accidental damage, liquid damage after the repair and cracked glass are not covered.
