Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of this issue include physical damage, moisture ingress, and component wear.
Physical damage from drops can loosen the camera module or crack the lens, causing blur.
Moisture exposure can corrode connectors and degrade autofocus or image stabilisation.
Dust, heat, or flex-cable wear leads to focus issues and pixel anomalies.
Prevention tips to protect your device include keeping the phone in a sturdy case, avoiding moisture and heat, and keeping software up to date.
Keep software updated; firmware glitches can affect autofocus and image processing.
Store your device in a cool, dry place to protect the camera assembly.
When to repair vs replace: In many cases a repair makes economic sense, but sometimes replacement is wiser.
Repair if damage is limited to the camera module and the board remains intact.
Replace if there are multiple failures, irreversible sensor damage, or total device value loss.
Consider price and warranty: if repair costs approach replacement value, weigh long-term warranties.
What to look for in a quality repair service: Look for qualified technicians with Galaxy experience and clear repair warranties.
Genuine or OEM-grade parts, with a transparent testing process.
Transparent pricing and convenient service options (walk-in, mobile, mail-in).
Red flags to avoid: Unclear quotes or upfront cash without a written agreement.
Lack of warranty terms or vague post-repair checks.
Poor customer reviews or no demonstrable repair history.
Maintenance guidance after repair: Keep the device in a case and avoid moisture.
Back up data regularly and install updates.
Test the camera after a week and report any issues early.
What Our Customers Say
I booked a Galaxy A8 Plus camera fix at iRepair Guys Preston after my lens kept blurring. I dropped in at 42 Fishergate and they diagnosed the fault within minutes, then had a high-quality replacement fitted in under an hour. The price was fair, and the workmanship looked solid. My pictures are sharp again, and I appreciated the clear explanations throughout. Great service that beats the Apple Store on speed and clarity.
As a busy business owner I needed a quick fix near the office. iRepair Guys Preston came to my workplace and repaired the Galaxy A8 Plus camera on the spot. Professional, transparent about costs, and they offered a small business discount. The turnaround was impressive, and the service felt more reliable and affordable than the Apple Store.
Being a student, I can’t afford expensive repairs. iRepair Guys offered a same-day camera fix for my Galaxy A8 Plus and explained everything clearly. The price was affordable compared with Apple, and there was a student discount which helped a lot. The new camera works perfectly and I can finally take proper notes and selfies again for uni.
I sent my Galaxy A8 Plus in from Ribbleton via their mail-in service. Turnaround was fast and the repair looked flawless when it came back. Clear updates throughout and no surprise costs. Useful option if you’re not close to Preston City Centre but still want top-quality work with the same-day ethos when possible.
With a packed diary, I needed a mobile service for a camera issue. iRepair Guys Preston sent a technician to my office and repaired the camera on-site within the day. Very professional and easy to communicate with, and they offered a corporate discount. Fast, tidy, and cheaper than a trip to Apple.
We had multiple Galaxy A8 Plus phones with camera issues. iRepair Guys fixed all three in one visit with a loyalty discount applied. Quick, friendly service in Preston City Centre, and we didn’t have to queue at the Apple Store. All devices back to full function—we’ll be using them again for future repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
Pricing for Galaxy A8 Plus camera repairs varies based on the exact fault and the replacement components required. After you bring the phone to iRepair Guys Preston or we perform a quick diagnostic, we provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. We avoid premium store overheads, which helps keep costs competitive while maintaining high‑quality parts. If you have a student or business discount, we apply it to eligible services. You’ll know the all‑in price before any work begins.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Store pricing includes premium overheads and in‑store service models. iRepair Guys operates with leaner overhead, efficient workflow, and high‑quality parts sourced for durability. We focus on rapid, in‑person diagnostics and on‑site or same‑day repairs in Preston, which reduces labour costs and passing those savings to you. The result is a faster, more affordable option that often beats Apple’s pricing while delivering comparable or better parts and support.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No. We quote upfront after diagnosis, and there are no hidden costs in our Camera Issue repairs. If additional work is needed, we obtain your approval before proceeding. Transparent pricing is part of our ethos, and we clearly itemise parts and labour in the quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for at every stage.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer a range of discounts including student and business rates where eligible, plus loyalty perks for repeat customers. Payments can be made in‑store by card or cash, with receipts provided for every transaction. Our pricing structure is designed to be clear, fair, and competitive with the convenience of same‑day service, so you won’t be surprised by extra charges.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We source high‑quality replacement camera modules and components, with options for OEM‑grade or trusted aftermarket equivalents. Every part undergoes testing before installation and is matched to your Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus to ensure autofocus, exposure, and colour accuracy are preserved. Our QA checks include imaging tests and touch‑screen responsiveness to ensure the repair is robust and reliable.
Q:
How long does repair take?
In most Preston stores, camera repairs are completed on the same day, typically within 60–90 minutes if you visit in person. If you opt for our mobile or mail‑in service, we aim for a same‑day turnaround where possible, with updates provided throughout. Complex cases may take longer, but we’ll confirm a precise ETA during the diagnostic phase.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
Our repairs focus on the camera module and related wiring without altering software. Features such as camera app functionality, autofocus, and flash operation are validated post‑repair. We also test the device’s overall camera app performance and ensure companion features (like quick capture and gallery integration) remain intact.
Q:
Success rate?
We’re proud of a high success rate, supported by a 4.9 average rating and 98% satisfaction across repairs. Our team conducts rigorous quality control, including post‑repair testing and customer verification, to ensure your Galaxy A8 Plus camera performs like new. We also back repairs with a standard 12‑month warranty for added confidence.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
We offer three convenient options. Walk‑in is ideal for Preston City Centre customers who want the fastest in‑person diagnosis and repair. Mobile service brings the technician to your workplace or home in surrounding Lancashire – great for busy schedules. Mail‑in is convenient if you’re elsewhere; you’ll receive updates and a fitted return shipping option. All options include high‑quality parts and the same warranty and service standards.
Q:
How does mobile repair work?
A technician travels to your location, assesses the Galaxy A8 Plus on‑site, and performs the repair with our standard parts and tools. We handle the diagnostics, sourcing of parts, and safe data handling. Mobile repair is designed for businesses and individuals who need minimal disruption, with the same‑day service expectation where possible.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk‑ins are welcome, but we recommend booking an appointment to guarantee rapid service and a precise ETA. Appointments help us allocate the right parts and technicians, minimising your wait. You can book via phone, email, or our online quote system, and you’ll receive a confirmed time window.
Q:

Yes. We frequently service businesses and home users alike. Our mobile option is ideal for Preston City Centre offices or households in Fulwood, Ashton‑on‑Ribble, Ribbleton, Penwortham, Longridge, Leyland, Chorley, and surrounding Lancashire areas.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
We offer a standard 12‑month warranty on parts and workmanship for Galaxy A8 Plus camera repairs, with terms that protect you if the same issue recurs. This warranty is longer than Apple’s typical 90‑day window, giving you extended peace of mind. If other faults arise from the repair, we’ll address them under warranty so you’re covered without extra charges.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If a fault reappears within the warranty period, simply contact us and we’ll arrange a free diagnostic and re‑repair. We prioritise swift resolution and will perform corrective work promptly, often with a same‑day turnaround. Clear communication and transparency remain at the heart of our warranty service.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our repairs are designed to be compatible with Samsung manufacturer guidelines, and they should not void your manufacturer warranty when performed correctly by our trained technicians. We use proper parts and standard procedures to minimise risk. If you have concerns about your warranty, we’re happy to review your policy with you and explain how our service aligns with Samsung’s terms.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Galaxy A8 Plus camera issues often involve the camera module, flex cables, or lens assembly. We isolate the fault with a quick diagnostic, verify lens alignment, check autofocus, and test image quality across multiple lighting conditions. If the sensor or module is damaged, we replace the affected component and perform post‑repair testing to ensure full camera functionality.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Camera faults usually stem from impact damage, debris, moisture exposure, or wear on connections. A drop can misalign the lens or damage the sensor; over time, flex cables may degrade, leading to glitches or complete failure. Regular use in Preston’s environment can also contribute to micro‑dust or lens smudges that affect image clarity.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
Most Galaxy A8 Plus camera faults are repairable with a replacement camera module or lens assembly, preserving your existing device. Replacement is considered when the fault affects multiple subsystems or if the cost of repair approaches a significant portion of a replacement device. Our technicians assess both options and provide a clear recommendation with pricing and success likelihood.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If your device has several issues (camera, display, charging, etc.), we can often combine repairs for efficiency. We charge for each repair component separately, but multi‑issue repairs may attract a loyalty or multi‑repair discount. We’ll quote all involved work after a comprehensive diagnostic so you can decide in full before we proceed.
