Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of back glass damage on the Galaxy J5 (2016) include accidental drops on hard surfaces, especially when the phone is in a pocket or hand, impacts from bags or keys, and thermal stress from heat in cars or direct sunlight.
- Dropping the phone onto concrete or tiles causes cracks and micro-fractures.
- Sitting with the device in a back-pocket can press and shatter the glass.
- Impact from hard objects like keys or coins when the phone is in a bag.
- Heat exposure from cars or direct sun weakens the adhesive and edge seal.
- Poor-quality previous repairs that didn't recalcify the glass.
- Water ingress through damaged back glass can accelerate failure of internal components.
Prevention tips:
- Always use a case with a reinforced, raised edge.
- Avoid putting heavy items in pockets with the phone.
- Keep the device out of direct sun and hot cars.
- Inspect the adhesive and case fit after any drop.
- If the glass cracks, seek assessment promptly to prevent further damage.
When to repair vs replace: If the glass is cracked but touchscreen and LCD are functioning normally, repair is usually best. If the touchscreen is unresponsive or the display shows dead pixels, replacement may be required. Budget and timeline considerations also play a role; back-glass repair is typically cheaper and faster than a full device replacement.
What to look for in a quality repair service: Look for trained technicians with Samsung repair experience, genuine or OEM-grade parts, clear upfront pricing, and a solid warranty. Documentation of post-repair testing, transparent terms, and flexible repair options (in-store, mobile, or mail-in) are signs of a reputable shop.
Red flags to avoid: Avoid services with no warranty or vague terms, high-pressure sales to push replacement, unclear or inflated quotes, and unverified technicians or a lack of accreditation.
Maintenance guidance after repair: After repair, keep the device in a protective case, avoid exposing it to heat, and allow any adhesive to cure before heavy moisture exposure. Regularly check that the camera, fingerprint sensor, and touchscreen perform as expected, and reach out if you notice any inconsistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
For Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) back glass replacement, the price is £30. This includes the rear glass, premium adhesive, a secure seal, and a thorough quick-test after fitting. Our Preston workshop in City Centre ensures identified faults are fixed promptly, and where possible we offer same-day service to keep you using your phone. The price is fixed at £30 with no hidden extras, enabling you to compare easily with Apple Store quotes.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
Apple's official service routes usually involve higher labour costs, longer turnaround times, and bundled diagnostics. At iRepair Guys Preston we operate a streamlined, specialist process focusing on back-glass replacements only when needed. We stock high-quality replacements and use efficient assembly methods, allowing us to keep the price fixed at £30 and to offer same-day service in Preston City Centre. Our local service also saves you travel time and parking costs, often saving you hours and pounds compared with Apple.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
Pricing is transparent upfront; the £30 is for back glass replacement on Galaxy J5 (2016). If additional repairs are needed (e.g., camera module or connectors), we provide a clear quote before work begins. There are no surprise fees for walk-ins in Preston City Centre or for mobile visits to Fulwood or Ashton-on-Ribble. You’ll always know the total before we start.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
Yes; we offer business and student-friendly pricing, plus loyalty discounts for repeat customers in Preston City Centre and surrounding Lancashire areas. We accept major cards, cash, or bank transfer. For larger teams or multiple devices, we can negotiate a volume discount and schedule on-site repairs in Chorley, Leyland, or Penwortham.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We source rear glass replacements that closely match the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) spec with tight tolerances and reliable adhesives. Where available, we use OEM-style glass to ensure colour and finish match the original. Each part undergoes QC checks for fit, sensor alignment, and camera clearance before installation. After fitting, we test all functions and seal integrity to maintain water resistance where applicable.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most Galaxy J5 (2016) back-glass replacements at our Preston City Centre workshop take 30-60 minutes from check-in to collection. If you drop off your device, first assessment takes 5-10 minutes, then the replacement itself takes around 20-40 minutes depending on queue. Mobile repairs at your Preston-area premises typically take 60-90 minutes, time permitting.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
The Galaxy J5 (2016) does not include Face ID. A back-glass replacement does not affect cameras, flash, or other features if the repair is performed by our trained technicians. We handle any sensors or adhesives with care, keep the rear camera alignment intact, and retest all functions before handing back.
Q:
Success rate?
With 5,000+ repairs completed and an average 4.9/5 rating, our success rate for back-glass replacements is exceptionally high. We run a strict QC protocol: verifying glass fit, adhesive cure, and camera alignment, then performing a post-repair check to ensure no gaps or misalignment. In Preston City Centre, Fulwood, Ashton-on-Ribble, Ribbleton, Penwortham and surrounding Lancashire areas, customers report quick repairs and solid finishes.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
We provide a standard 12-month warranty on parts and labour for this back-glass replacement. Some components may carry longer warranties depending on the part. If a fault occurs due to our workmanship or the replacement part, we will repair or replace at no additional cost. Warranty details are explained at the time of service and documented in your receipt.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If an issue arises after the repair, contact us and we’ll re-check the device promptly. Our aim is to resolve any problem under warranty quickly, either by re-fitting the back glass or replacing faulty parts. We keep a clear claim process and communicate the status to you in real time, especially for Preston City Centre customers.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Repairing the back glass is non-invasive to internal components; it does not void your manufacturer warranty when performed by our trained technicians with approved parts. We explain any potential implications and can assist with manufacturer claims if needed. Always keep your original receipt for warranty verification.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
The Galaxy J5 (2016) back-glass replacement focuses on the rear panel only. We ensure the rear camera, flash, and any proximity sensors align correctly after replacement. Our technicians reseal the glass with precision and test touchscreen functionality, camera focus, and photo quality. There is no impact on the phone’s internal electronics, battery, or software when done by trained staff.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Back glass breaks primarily due to accidental drops onto hard surfaces, or pressure from keys and coins in pockets. Heat or bending can weaken the adhesive over time, leading to cracks or detachment. In Preston and surrounding areas like Leyland or Chorley, most cases happen after an evening drop on tiled floors or stairs.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
For most Galaxy J5 (2016) devices, back-glass replacement is the quickest, most cost-effective option. If there’s internal damage or a fault with the camera or connectors, we’ll quote for a full device repair or screen-assembly replacement. Our aim is to preserve the rest of the device and restore full functionality with transparent, upfront pricing.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
Yes; we can handle multiple repairs in one visit and offer multi-repair discounts for businesses or households. If your device requires more than one service (e.g., back glass plus camera module), we provide a combined quote and schedule an efficient on-site repair in Preston City Centre or nearby areas like Fulwood and Ashton-on-Ribble.
