Housing and frame repair at Riverlink, North Ipswich
The housing is the frame and body that hold everything in your phone together. After a hard drop, a night under someone on the couch or a slammed car door, it can bend, dent or crack, and the parts inside can start to shift. Mr. Phone Riverlink does housing and frame repair at Riverlink, North Ipswich, from our kiosk inside the shopping centre.
Signs the frame is damaged
- A visible bend — the phone rocks when you lay it flat on a table.
- Dented or split corners that leave sharp metal or gaps.
- Buttons that stick, or feel softer or stiffer than they used to.
- A screen or back pulling away from the edge of the body.
That last one deserves a closer look. A gap between the screen and the frame isn't always physical damage: it can be a swollen battery pushing outwards. Our free diagnostic works out which it is, so the quote matches the real fault.
What a housing repair involves
Replacing a housing means carefully moving the phone's parts across into the new frame. It's worth having the screen, the back glass and the cameras checked at the same time, since a knock hard enough to bend metal often damages more than one part. Anything else the diagnostic finds goes into the quote, and you decide what gets fixed.
Bring in an iPhone, a Samsung Galaxy, an Oppo or a Google Pixel and we'll assess the frame. Housings are made for each model, so text 0420 896 369 with yours and we'll tell you whether it's in stock or needs ordering.
Quote, timing and warranty
Because a housing may have to be ordered in for your exact model, timing varies. When that happens, we tell you when the phone will be ready.
- Free diagnostic first, and a clear quote you approve before we begin.
- 180-day warranty on the housing we fit and the labour.
- Parts built to meet or exceed the original specifications, each one tested before it goes in and again afterwards.
- Price-match guarantee — just ask.
One practical tip
With a housing swap, nearly every part of the phone is moved across, so make a fresh backup before you hand it over. Any repair, ours included, may reduce a phone's water resistance; treat it gently around water afterwards. If anything feels off once you have it back, return it and we'll check it under the warranty.
