Warranty and repair policy
Warranty coverage and exclusionsShow detailsHide details
Completed standard repairs include a 6-month warranty covering the replacement part and labour.
If a device has previous liquid damage and needs a different repair, only the part repaired or replaced in this visit is covered, not the whole device.
- a new drop or impact
- new or repeated liquid exposure
- misuse or accidental damage
- third-party opening, repair or modification
- a new unrelated fault
No Fix, No Charge detailsShow detailsHide details
If a diagnosed component is replaced and tested but does not resolve the fault, there is no charge. This also applies if added faults are found, or if the final price is higher than advised and you choose not to continue. For an unsuccessful repair, we do not charge for the repair attempt, a specially ordered part or a deposit already paid.
Inspection, repair or replacementShow detailsHide details
An inspection or disassembly fee can apply only when it is clearly disclosed and approved before work starts.
Repair can mean board-level or component-level work; replacement means directly replacing a component, not the whole phone. The right path depends on inspection. We generally prefer component replacement because board-repair labour can cost more, then explain the options before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rear glass only or the full back housing?
Depending on the model and damage extent, Pixel rear repairs use the appropriate back housing assembly to ensure structural integrity and correct alignment around the camera bar.
How much does Google Pixel 3a Back Housing Replacement cost?
We provide a clear quote upfront based on the extent of the damage to the rear panel and frame. Please bring your device in for a thorough assessment.
Can a swollen battery lift the rear panel?
Yes, a degraded battery can swell and generate enough internal pressure to lift the rear panel away from the frame. We always check for this during inspection.
Is camera-lens replacement included?
The external camera lens cover is typically separate from standard back panel. We inspect the camera bar and advise if lens replacement is also required.
Will my data normally remain on the phone?
Yes, back housing replacement is a hardware service that does not typically affect stored data, but we always recommend keeping a recent backup.
Will factory water resistance be restored?
No. While we use appropriate internal adhesives during reassembly, the original factory IP rating cannot be guaranteed once a device has been opened.
How long does the repair take?
Pixel 3a back housing replacement usually takes around 60 minutes when the correct part is available. If additional damage is found during inspection, turnaround may vary.
