Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of back glass damage on Galaxy A8 Star include accidental drops onto hard surfaces, pocket pressures with keys, thermal stress and previous impacts that weaken the adhesive bond. Regularly leaving the phone in car cup holders or bags with metal parts increases risk.
- Dropped on a hard surface resulting in cracks across the glass.
- Carried in a bag with keys or coins causing edge chips.
- Pressure from sitting or leaning with the phone in a pocket or bag.
- Temperature fluctuations and adhesive failure over time.
Prevention tips:
- Use a quality case and a screen protector for the front; avoid placing the phone under heavy items.
- Don’t carry the phone with sharp objects in the same pocket.
- Keep your device away from extreme heat or cold and avoid rapid temperature changes.
- Regularly check the camera module seal and charger port for damage.
When to repair vs replace: If the back glass is cracked but the frame and digitiser are intact, repair is usually wise; if there is LCD damage, water ingress or camera misalignment, replacement may be necessary.
- Choose repair when the device is otherwise functional and the glass is the primary issue.
- Replace when internal components are damaged or the device is beyond reliable repair.
What to look for in a quality repair service: A reputable shop will offer genuine parts, clear warranty terms, in-store testing, and transparent pricing.
- Genuine, tested parts with warranty.
- Clear, upfront pricing and no hidden fees.
- Qualified technicians with device-specific expertise.
- In-depth post-repair testing and documentation.
Red flags to avoid: Suspiciously low prices, vague warranties, lack of local contact details, or technicians refusing to demonstrate a test after repair.
- Unclear parts origin or warranty coverage.
- Pressure to sign off before testing.
- No in-person inspection or no aftercare support.
Maintenance guidance after repair: Keep the device clean, use the case’s protection, avoid bending or applying pressure to the screen area, and monitor for adhesive signs of wear.
- Regular checks of seals and ports.
- Gentle handling and routine cleaning with a soft cloth.
- Return for a follow-up check if you notice lifting or misalignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
For a Samsung Galaxy A8 Star back glass replacement, our price is £30. That includes the glass, adhesive, labor, any essential sensor checks, and a quick test of the touchscreen and cameras. We publish clear, fixed pricing so there are no surprises at checkout. In most cases, you’ll leave with your phone fully functional and the new glass clearly matching the device’s finish. We’ve completed over 5,000 repairs with a 4.9 average rating, and our team works quickly to minimise downtime—most customers are back to normal in 30-60 minutes on the same day.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple Stores operate with higher overheads and standardised pricing, which often includes longer wait times and additional fees for accessories. iRepair Guys keeps costs lean by using experienced local technicians and efficient workflows, so we can offer the same high-quality repair at a fraction of the cost. Our same-day service in Huddersfield and surrounding areas means you don’t pay for lengthy repairs or shipping. With a 12-month warranty, you get tangible value that rivals Apple’s in-store experience without the premium price tag.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No hidden costs here. The £30 price is the total for the back glass replacement, including materials, labour, and test procedures. We provide transparent quotes before any work begins, and there are no surprise fees for diagnostics or data loss risks. All prices include our standard, industry-leading 12-month warranty, so you know exactly what you’re paying for from Marsh to Town Centre and beyond.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
We offer straightforward discounts for students and businesses, plus a loyalty discount for repeat customers. There’s also potential for bundled pricing if you repair multiple devices or schedule repeat servicing. Payment is accepted on-site via card or contactless, and we can provide a formal receipt for insurance or business records. In Huddersfield, same-day service across Marsh and surrounding areas means you save both time and money compared with waiting for manufacturer repairs.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We insist on high-quality parts. For Samsung Galaxy A8 Star back glass, we use OEM-grade glass with reliable adhesives and a secure fit. Our suppliers meet strict quality standards, and every part is inspected before installation. After replacement, we perform functional testing—touch sensitivity, cameras, home button, and fingerprint sensors where applicable—to ensure the device operates as intended.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most back glass replacements take around 30-60 minutes for on-site work in Huddersfield. Our average time to complete a repair is 30-60 minutes, with a same-day completion rate of 95%. If the device requires additional diagnostics or has complications, we’ll advise you up-front and keep you informed every step of the way.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
For the Galaxy A8 Star, most features affected by a rear glass replacement are sensor‑ or camera-related. Our technicians recalibrate and retest components (camera, proximity sensor, fingerprint sensor where present) after the glass replacement. In almost all cases, features remain fully functional, and any calibration requirements are completed on-site during the same visit.
Q:
Success rate?
We have a 98% satisfaction rate across all repairs. Our QA process includes a 3-stage check: initial diagnostic, post‑repair functional test, and customer sign-off. With over 5,000 repairs completed, we’ve refined our workflow to deliver consistent, reliable results, backed by our 12-month warranty.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
We offer a 12-month warranty on all back glass replacements for the Galaxy A8 Star. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship and ensures that any issues arising from the repair are addressed free of charge. Should a problem occur within 12 months, we’ll inspect and repair or replace components as needed, subject to our terms and conditions. Our warranty demonstrates confidence in our parts and technicians.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If you notice an issue after the repair, contact us immediately. We’ll arrange a free diagnostic and determine whether the problem is related to the original repair. If it is, we’ll fix it under the warranty without additional charges. Our goal is to make it right promptly, with a customer-first approach that maintains your device’s performance and reliability.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our repairs do not void your manufacturer warranty, provided the issue is not caused by non-authorised modifications. We use legitimate parts and standard procedures to ensure compliance. In some cases, Apple or Samsung warranties may remain in effect for unrelated features; if you’re unsure, bring your warranty documents and we’ll review compatibility during the diagnostic.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
For the Samsung Galaxy A8 Star, the rear glass includes the back sensor housing. During replacement, we carefully detach the broken glass, clean the frame, apply a fresh adhesive, and align the new glass with the sensor housings. We verify touch response, camera alignment, and sensor calibration after installation. Our technicians are trained to avoid damage to external buttons and connectors and to preserve the overall device integrity.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Rear glass damage is typically caused by accidental drops, knocks, or pressure on the back of the device. Even minor impact can crack the glass while the display remains intact. Over time, protective coatings may wear, increasing the likelihood of shattering in subsequent drops. Regular handling and using a case with a reinforced back dramatically reduce the risk.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
For most Galaxy A8 Star rear glass issues, replacement is the cost-effective and quickest option to restore aesthetics and functionality. If the device has additional damage (delaminated screen, water ingress, or battery issues), we’ll assess the overall condition and advise whether a full replacement is more sensible. Our aim is to maximise value while minimising downtime.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If there are multiple issues (glass, fingerprint sensor, camera, or screen), we offer multi-repair discounts and can complete all required work in a single visit. Our team pages each repair step, ensures compatibility of components, and tests every function post-repair. This streamlined approach reduces total downtime and gives you peace of mind that your device will be ready to perform at its best.
