iPhone back glass replacement

The exact price depends strictly on your iPhone generation and its structural blueprint. Because we completely reject risky laser shortcuts and match the repair to Apple’s factory architecture—using precise heating platforms for newer models and full component migration into refurbished Grade-A/B frames for older series—rates vary by model.

Yes, it can be fully restored, but a safe repair requires completely different engineering methods depending on the model. We do not apply a single, aggressive tool to every phone. Newer series undergo a precise panel detachment, while older generations require a total housing migration to protect internal parts. Ignoring the cracks allows humidity and sweat to pass through, causing progressive motherboard corrosion.

It is determined by the phone’s factory build. Generations from the iPhone 8 up to the iPhone 14 Pro Max have the rear glass molecularly fused to the chassis, meaning a component-safe restoration requires a full refurbished housing swap. Conversely, the iPhone 15, 16, and 17 series feature an updated internal architecture that allows us to perform a focused, glass-only panel replacement using specialized heating mats and waterproof 3M sponge tape.

Meticulous, laboratory-grade work requires controlled workshop time. A full refurbished housing migration takes between 2 to 4 hours due to the complex, anti-static disassembly of your motherboard, battery, and screen. A targeted glass panel replacement on modern models is swifter. However, the vast majority of both our local walk-in services in Corby and UK-wide mail-in repairs are fully completed, tested, and dispatched on the very same day.

No, your data is completely safe. Our back glass restoration processes are entirely non-destructive to the phone’s logic board and storage chips. Unlike high-street shops that use automated lasers—which expose the fully built phone to extreme internal heat and risk corrupting the operating system—Free Fusion protects your data. While we always recommend a standard iCloud backup before any hardware service for general peace of mind, no data wipe is required.

We strictly avoid automated lasers, as the intense, concentrated heat can permanently degrade lithium-ion batteries and cause internal thermal stress to motherboard links. For modern models where glass-only removal is safe, we utilize specialized laboratory heating platforms to distribute uniform, low-level warmth that safely loosens the factory adhesive. For older generations, we completely disassemble the device first, bypassing the need for aggressive heat or lasers on a fully assembled phone.

Yes, we operate a secure, high-speed UK-Wide Postal Repair Service. Simply select your iPhone model from our index above, complete your checkout online, and post your device to our Corby headquarters. The moment your handset arrives at our facility, our technicians execute the precise, component-safe repair, run it through a rigorous multi-point quality check, and dispatch it back to your doorstep via tracked, insured delivery on that exact same day.

Yes. Every single rear glass restoration and full refurbished housing replacement executed at Free Fusion comes backed by our comprehensive written warranty protection. This certification covers the structural alignment, flush fitment, and specialized 3M sponge tape bonding of the new panel. Please note that a post-repair drop or subsequent physical impact that shatters the glass again will void the warranty.

Yes, we fully service US-spec models. While US-market iPhones from recent generations feature an internal design variance—specifically the absence of a physical SIM card tray in favor of dual eSIM technology—their rear panel structures and glass boundaries remain physically identical to UK/EU models. Whether your US device requires a targeted glass panel swap or a complete refurbished frame migration, our technicians handle it with absolute precision.
