Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Sony Xperia Z1 back cover needs replacing?
If the rear glass panel is cracked or the cover has separated from the frame, a replacement is needed. The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a tempered glass rear cover and damage is typically caused by drops or impacts.
Will my data be safe during the repair?
Yes. Replacing the rear glass cover is a hardware-only procedure that does not affect your stored data, apps, or accounts.
How long does the repair take?
Sony Xperia Z1 back cover replacements are completed where parts are available. We recommend contacting us before dropping in as this is an older model and parts may need confirming.
Can I walk in without booking?
Walk-ins are welcome at our workshop near Liverpool Street Station, London. We recommend contacting us first to confirm parts availability for the Xperia Z1 before travelling.
Is the back cover replacement covered by warranty?
Back cover and rear panel replacements are not covered by a repair warranty. The rear cover is a solid component that does not fail from normal use. Any future damage would result from impact or drops, which falls outside the scope of a repair guarantee.
