When is the Back Glass Swap Due on the Pixel 3?
- The back glass has a large crack, splinters come loose when you touch it
- Sharp edges on the back glass injure your hands while holding it
- Wireless charging no longer works reliably after the drop
- The back glass shows spider cracks spreading from the impact point
- The bumpy coating peels off at the cracks, the matte finish is damaged
- Dirt enters the interior through the cracks — the original IP68 sealing is lost
The 2018 Pixel 3 was Google's first model with today's typical bumpy coating finish — a matte, slightly rough coating on the lower glass back. If the back glass breaks, it's not just cosmetic damage: the sharp splinters are a real risk of injury, and the IP68 sealing loses its function. You can find more repair options on the Pixel 3 repair overview.

Repair the Pixel 3 Back Glass or Replace the Device?
In 2018 the Pixel 3 was the first Pixel with today's characteristic design — the black glass strip at the top, the matte rest below. It is precisely this look that keeps it popular with collectors and Pixel fans to this day. For EUR 89 you get the original look back and at the same time remove the acute risk of injury from loose glass splinters — far cheaper than a new Pixel 8a at around EUR 549.
- EUR 89 — flat price with bumpy coating
- The collector value of the Pixel 3 is preserved
- Data, photos, apps unchanged on the device
- 6-month warranty on glass and work
- Wireless charging is checked too
- Pixel 8a NEW from approx. EUR 549
- Completely new setup necessary
- The Pixel 3 has to be sold or disposed of
- The collector value is lost
As long as the battery, display and mainboard work, the back glass swap on the Pixel 3 is the more rational decision. We discuss the condition in advance by phone.
Which spare part does Reparo fit on the Pixel 3?
A back glass module for the Pixel 3 with bumpy coating — checked for a precise fit before fitting. The module replicates the typical two-part look (glossy at the top, matte below) and is compatible with the Qi charging coil as well as the NFC antenna. Special adhesive and a new seal come fresh from stock for each order.
Pixel 3 Back Glass Repair Vienna — What You Should Know
The Pixel 3 is by now an older device — its market launch was October 2018 with a 5.5" OLED, USB-C, a 2,915 mAh battery and a glass back that Google gave the typical bumpy coating for the first time. This matte, slightly rough texture on the lower back looks inconspicuous, but with a glass break it is the technical detail many workshops fail at. We use modules that replicate this texture exactly — without the Pixel 3 looking like a cheap replica after the repair.
One point that is underestimated: the Pixel 3 has IP68 protection against water and dust. As soon as the back glass cracks, this sealing is compromised — dirt and moisture get inside and can later cause consequential damage to the battery or mainboard. During the back glass swap we renew the surrounding seal too, so the original protection class is restored.
Safety note: don't ignore glass splinters on the Pixel 3
Loose splinters on the Pixel 3 are not a cosmetic detail but a concrete risk of injury — especially at the impact point, where microscopic glass tips often form. Anyone who keeps using the device with a cracked back glass risks cuts on their fingers and in trouser or bag linings. The repair is therefore strongly recommended as soon as the first splinters come loose. You can find more services in the Google Pixel repair overview.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Pixel 3 Back Glass Repair
What does the Pixel 3 back glass repair cost at Reparo?
The back glass repair on the Google Pixel 3 costs EUR 89 — flat price, including the back glass module with bumpy coating, fitting, renewal of the IP68 seal and a 6-month warranty. The 25 EUR diagnostic check is waived on a repair order.
Pixel 3 back glass or housing repair — what's the difference?
"Back glass" and "housing" are often used interchangeably in everyday speech, but technically they mean two things. The back glass swap only replaces the cracked glass on the back. A housing repair on the Pixel 3 additionally includes the frame or buttons and is rarely needed. For your case we clarify by phone which approach fits.
Does wireless charging remain after the back glass swap?
Yes. The Pixel 3 supports Qi charging and the coil sits under the back glass. During the swap we take care not to damage it, and we test the wireless charging function before returning the device. You then charge wirelessly just like before.
What happens to the bumpy coating on the Pixel 3?
The bumpy coating is the matte, slightly rough coating on the lower back of the Pixel 3 — Google's trademark in 2018. We use replacement modules that replicate this texture, so your Pixel 3 has the same feel as the original after the repair.
How long does the back glass swap on the Pixel 3 take?
Usually 2–3 hours. With pickup in Vienna often done the same day. Those who send it in plan for 1–3 working days for the outbound and return shipping including the repair.
Which back glass is fitted on the Pixel 3?
We fit an original-equivalent back glass module with bumpy coating that is checked for a precise fit and look before fitting. Colour and coating match the original appearance of the Pixel 3.
Is the IP68 sealing on the Pixel 3 restored?
During the back glass swap we renew the surrounding seal. The Pixel 3 is then protected against splash water and dust again. Note: with a 2018 device the seal ages in general, we still don't recommend dives.
Can I just drop the Pixel 3 off in Vienna?
Reparo has no walk-in operation. You book an appointment online and our courier picks up the Pixel 3 in Vienna. From the rest of Austria you send it in by post.
How does the pickup service for the Pixel 3 work?
After booking we get in touch with a time slot. The courier comes to you in Vienna, takes the Pixel 3 in protective packaging and brings it straight back after the repair.
Is my data preserved during the Pixel 3 back glass swap?
Yes. Swapping the back glass touches neither the mainboard nor the storage. Photos, apps, accounts and settings stay as they are. A backup beforehand still does no harm.
What warranty applies after the back glass swap?
Reparo gives a 6-month warranty on the fitted back glass module and the workmanship. If repair-related defects occur, we fix them free of charge.
What does the diagnostic check cost if I don't have it repaired?
The diagnostic check costs 25 EUR. If the back glass swap is carried out, this flat fee is waived — you only pay the flat price of EUR 89.
Is the Pixel 3 back glass repair even worth it anymore?
If the Pixel 3 suits you in substance — battery, display and mainboard work — the swap is worth it: EUR 89 vs. EUR 549 for a new Pixel 8a, plus you keep your familiar setup. With several faults at the same time we check whether a repair still pays off in total.
What to do if water also got into the Pixel 3 from the drop?
With combined damage — cracked back glass plus water contact — we diagnose both together. Diagnostic check 25 EUR waived on a repair order. Important: stop charging the device, switch it off, get it to us as soon as possible.
Can I keep using the Pixel 3 until the appointment?
Because of the sharp splinters we don't recommend it. Loose glass pieces cut fingers and pockets, dirt gets inside through the cracks. Book an appointment soon and wrap the device in a microfibre cloth until then.
