Knowledge

Know your iPhone before choosing a back glass repair

Some iPhones can look almost identical from the front while using completely different back glass.

Take the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. Both are very similar in size, but they have different camera layouts, different finishes and don’t use the same replacement back glass. It’s a similar story with the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max: both are large phones, but each requires the back glass designed specifically for that model.

That difference matters because the exact model and colour determine which back glass fits your iPhone, which repair method is used and how much the repair costs. Choosing by appearance alone can easily lead to the wrong part or a mismatched colour.

You can check yours by going to Settings → General → About → Model Name. If you’re not sure, bring the iPhone to MrFix and we’ll identify the model and colour for you before confirming your back glass option and exact repair price.

Knowledge

Before you book an iPhone repair

A few simple checks are worth trying before bringing your iPhone to MrFix. Sometimes what looks like a hardware fault has a straightforward cause, and we’d rather help you avoid paying for a repair you don’t actually need.

If your iPhone won’t charge:

Try another charging cable and mains adapter first. Dust and pocket debris can also collect inside the charging port and prevent the cable from connecting properly. Avoid inserting metal objects or anything that could damage the port. If changing the cable doesn’t help, MrFix can check whether the problem is the port, battery or another charging component.

If your iPhone is slow, freezing or crashing:

Restart the iPhone before assuming something has failed. It’s also worth checking Settings → General → iPhone Storage. Very low available storage can cause poor performance, freezing and other behaviour that can feel like a hardware problem. Freeing some space may be all that’s needed.

If you think your iPhone battery is failing:

Go to Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging and check the Maximum Capacity and any battery messages shown by iOS. The percentage is useful, but how the iPhone behaves matters too. Unexpected shutdowns, rapid battery drain or noticeably reduced everyday battery life can all indicate that the battery needs attention.

If your iPhone back glass is cracked or shattered:

Handle it carefully, as broken glass can have sharp edges and loose shards. Keep it in a case until it’s repaired and avoid getting it wet, because cracks can let dust and moisture inside. If wireless charging, the rear cameras or the flash have stopped working properly, let us know so MrFix can check them during the repair.

If your iPhone has been exposed to water or another liquid:

Avoid charging it and, where possible, switch the device off. Don’t put the iPhone in rice or try to dry the charging port with heat. Liquid can continue affecting internal components even when the phone initially appears to work normally, so having it assessed promptly gives you the best chance of identifying the damage before it becomes worse.

Still not sure? Bring the iPhone to MrFix. We’ll check what’s actually wrong and explain the repair and price before any work begins.

Knowledge

Parts and quality options

At MrFix, we don’t believe every customer needs the same back glass repair. The right choice can depend on your iPhone model, the extent of the damage, how long you plan to keep it and your budget. That’s why we explain the available options, what is being replaced, what is included and how much it costs before the repair begins.

Laser back glass replacement — our recommended option.

For supported iPhones, laser back glass replacement is the option we’re proud to recommend. Specialist laser equipment is used to loosen the bonded rear glass so only the damaged glass is removed, while your original frame, internal components and serial-matched parts stay in place. The new glass is colour-matched to your iPhone and fitted with fresh adhesive for a clean, factory-style finish.

On some newer iPhone models the back glass is designed to be removable, which can make the repair simpler. Either way, our technicians explain the method for your model before the repair so there are no unexpected surprises.

Rear housing replacement — when the frame is damaged too.

We understand that a back glass replacement isn’t always enough. If the frame is bent, dented or badly scratched, or the damage extends around the edges and camera area, a full rear housing replacement may be the better choice.

For selected models, a rear housing replacement gives your iPhone a new frame and back glass together. Your internal components are carefully transferred into the new housing, and we make the differences in price and finish clear before installation so you can decide which option suits you best.

Original and genuine options where available.

For customers who want an original part, MrFix can also supply and fit original/OEM back glass or housing options for supported iPhone models where available. We also offer genuine Apple battery options for supported models, subject to availability.

The exact part, colour, availability and price are explained before you approve the repair.

Premium isn’t only about the glass

With our premium back glass repairs, the standard of installation matters just as much as the replacement part.

MrFix technicians use high-quality adhesives and replacement seals, along with specialist compression equipment during reassembly. Controlled pressure helps the new glass and adhesive seat correctly, allowing us to achieve the best practical seal and a flush, clean finish after the repair.

Where applicable, this higher-standard process is also used for our premium battery and screen repair work. Our technicians take additional care with preparation, cleaning, alignment, sealing and finishing because the aim isn’t simply to cover the damage — we want the finished repair to look, feel and perform as close as reasonably possible to a professionally assembled device.

Opening an iPhone means its original factory water-resistance rating cannot be guaranteed after repair, and we won’t tell customers otherwise. What our Premium service does provide is the additional equipment, replacement sealing materials, controlled compression and technician care required to achieve the best practical standard possible for an independent repair.

Laser back glass replacement, rear housing replacement or an original option where available — you’ll know what you’re choosing, what’s included and what you’re paying before MrFix fits anything.

Knowledge

Your data during an iPhone repair

Your privacy matters. MrFix does not wipe your iPhone as part of a standard back glass, screen, battery or other hardware repair, and a passcode is not normally required for straightforward repairs.

We still recommend making a current backup before any repair. An iPhone that is already damaged or experiencing a hardware fault can sometimes deteriorate further, so keeping important photos, messages and other data backed up is always sensible.

For liquid-damaged, no-power or severely damaged iPhones, data recovery cannot be guaranteed. We’ll explain what can realistically be attempted rather than promise a recovery before the condition of the device is known.

Knowledge

After your iPhone repair

Before your iPhone is returned, MrFix tests the repair and relevant device functions. Depending on the work carried out, this can include wireless charging and MagSafe, cameras and flash, charging, speakers, microphones and Face ID where applicable.

For a back glass repair, we check the fit and finish of the new glass, the camera area and wireless charging, and make sure the device is functioning correctly before handover. We’ll also tell you what was fitted and anything relevant you should know about the repair.

A new back glass doesn’t need a special settling-in period. Once the repair has been completed and tested, you can charge and use your iPhone normally. We recommend using a case to help protect the new glass.

If something doesn’t seem right after your repair, contact MrFix as soon as you notice it. We’d rather inspect the device promptly and determine whether the issue relates to the fitted part, the repair itself or a separate fault.

Knowledge

Common questions about iPhone repairs

Here are answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just get in touch — we’re always happy to help.

Will my iPhone still be water resistant after a repair?

Once an iPhone has been opened, its original factory water-resistance rating cannot be guaranteed. With eligible Premium repairs, MrFix uses high-quality replacement seals and specialist compression equipment during reassembly to achieve the best practical seal possible. We still recommend treating a repaired iPhone as not having its original factory IP water-resistance rating.

Will wireless charging still work after an iPhone back glass repair?

Yes. In a normal back glass repair, the aim is to keep wireless charging, MagSafe and the rear cameras working exactly as before by carefully protecting the components behind the glass. If any of these are already faulty, or have been damaged along with the glass, we’ll explain this before the repair where it can be identified. We also test relevant functions after the repair.

Can MrFix repair an iPhone that is locked to someone else’s Apple Account?

A hardware repair may still be possible, but MrFix cannot remove Apple’s Activation Lock. Activation Lock is an Apple security feature and requires the appropriate Apple Account credentials or Apple’s supported account recovery process. A hardware repair does not bypass it.

Can MrFix repair an iPhone another repair shop has already worked on?

In many cases, yes. Tell us about any previous repairs or replacement parts when you bring or send the iPhone to us. Previous work can affect diagnosis, part compatibility and the condition inside the device, so knowing what’s already been done helps our technicians assess it properly.

Will I lose my data during a repair?

MrFix does not wipe your iPhone as part of a standard back glass, screen, battery or other hardware repair, and a passcode is not normally required for straightforward repairs. However, we still recommend making a current backup before any repair, as unexpected issues can sometimes occur.

Knowledge

Preparing your iPhone for repair

A little preparation can help your repair go more smoothly. Here are a few simple steps to take before you bring or send your iPhone to MrFix.

Back up your data

We always recommend making a current backup using iCloud or a computer before any repair.

Know your passcode

A passcode is not normally required for straightforward repairs, but it may be needed to fully test certain functions such as Face ID, Touch ID, cameras or some settings.

Sign out (where possible)

If you can, sign out of your Apple Account and turn off Find My iPhone. This isn’t always necessary, but it can help with some types of repair and testing.

Tell us about any previous repairs

Let us know if your iPhone has had any previous repairs or if you’re aware of any existing issues.

Bring any accessories that are relevant

If the issue is related to charging, for example, it can be helpful to bring your charging cable or other accessories so we can test them with your device.

Knowledge

The questions people actually ask.

Straight answers to the things customers ask us most about iPhone repairs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just get in touch — we’re always happy to help.

What iPhone repairs does MrFix offer?

MrFix repairs the most common iPhone faults, including back glass, screen replacement, battery replacement, charging problems, cameras, speakers, microphones and other supported hardware faults.

For iPhone back glass repairs, choose your exact model to see the available back glass options and price. Most walk-in iPhone back glass repairs are completed the same day, and completed repairs come with our 12-month warranty, subject to the warranty terms.

How do I choose the right iPhone model?

Start by choosing your iPhone from the model cards above. Depending on the generation, that might be a Pro Max, Pro, Plus, standard, mini or SE model.

Not sure which one you have? Go to Settings → General → About → Model Name. If you can’t check, bring the iPhone to MrFix and we’ll identify it before confirming your back glass options and price.

Do you repair older iPhones and iPhone SE models?

Yes. We repair every iPhone from the iPhone X series (X, XS, XR) through the later generations, right up to the latest iPhone 17 lineup. Parts availability varies by model. For very old models we’ll confirm parts availability before starting work.

How long does an iPhone repair take?

Most iPhone back glass repairs are completed the same day.

More complicated damage, a rear housing replacement or additional faults may require longer. If we find something that changes the expected repair or timescale, we’ll explain it before proceeding.

Can I visit without an appointment?

Yes. No appointment is required for walk-in repairs. You can bring your iPhone to either our Edinburgh City Centre or Corstorphine store during opening hours.

We’ll check the device, confirm the appropriate repair and price, and get your approval before work begins.

Can you collect my iPhone and bring it back after the repair?

Yes. For many Edinburgh customers, our iPhone Collection & Return service can be the smartest and easiest way to get your back glass repaired without making a trip to the shop.

For an additional £20, a MrFix driver can collect your iPhone from your address, bring it to us for repair and return it afterwards. The service covers most of Edinburgh, including Corstorphine, subject to address availability.

Will my data be safe during the repair?

MrFix does not wipe your iPhone as part of a standard hardware repair, and a passcode is not normally required for straightforward back glass, screen or battery repairs.

We still recommend making a current backup before any repair. For severely damaged, liquid-damaged or no-power devices, data recovery cannot be guaranteed.

Do you offer nationwide iPhone repair by courier?

Yes. If you’re outside Edinburgh, you can use our UK-wide postal repair service.

Send your iPhone to MrFix and we’ll assess the device and confirm the repair and price before proceeding. This means customers across Scotland and the rest of the UK can use MrFix without visiting one of our Edinburgh stores.

What warranty comes with an iPhone repair?

Completed MrFix repairs come with a 12-month warranty on the fitted part and our workmanship.

It covers faults relating to the replacement part or work carried out by MrFix. It does not cover new accidental or physical damage, misuse or unrelated faults that develop afterwards. Liquid-damage repairs are excluded from the standard 12-month warranty because corrosion can continue after repair.

Can I choose which back glass repair option is fitted?

Yes. Depending on your iPhone model, MrFix can offer different back glass options.

Laser back glass replacement is our recommended option for supported models, keeping your original frame. We also offer rear housing replacement where the frame is damaged too, while original/OEM options may be available for selected models. We’ll explain the differences, colour, price and what’s included before you choose.
