Back cover repair for all Samsung series
Galaxy S-Series
The S-Series flagships (S20 to S25) use glass on both sides — premium feel, but at the cost of impact sensitivity. Back replacement from EUR 79, on Ultra models from EUR 119. After fitting IP68 seal restored properly.
Galaxy A-Series
The A-Series varies: some models use plastic, others Gorilla Glass. From EUR 59–69 depending on model and material. Wireless charging (where supported) is restored after fitting.
Galaxy Z Flip & Z Fold
On foldables the rear panel is significantly more complex because of the hinge area. Price after diagnosis — generally higher than on the S-Series. Same 6-month warranty.

When should you have the Samsung back cover replaced?
Back cracked after a drop
The most common case. A crack runs across the entire glass back. Replacement protects the camera module and restores the look.
Sharp glass shards cut your hand
Cracked glass becomes a safety risk in everyday use. Replace as soon as possible.
Wireless charging no longer working
The cracked back interferes with the Qi coil. After replacement the wireless charging is restored.
Camera module unprotected
If the back is broken away near the cameras, dust and moisture reach the lenses. Replacement protects the camera modules from secondary damage.
Dust and moisture creeping in
Cracks lift the IP68 seal. Inside, dust and moisture can damage the board and battery. Replace early.
Glass shards flaking off the frame
Damaged frame areas need professional replacement — DIY repairs often go wrong here.

Frequently asked questions about the Samsung back cover repair
What does the Samsung back cover repair cost at Reparo?
Prices start at EUR 59 for simpler A-series models with a glass back. The Galaxy A52 or A55 is EUR 69, the Galaxy S24 starts at EUR 79 and the S25 is EUR 99; Ultra models start at EUR 119. For Z Flip and Z Fold the price is confirmed after the diagnostic check. All of these are fixed prices with no hidden surcharges.
Does the back really need replacing, or is it just cosmetic?
A hairline crack may look cosmetic, but it is more than that: broken back glass has sharp edges, cancels the IP protection and lets dust and moisture inside. On Samsung S flagships the camera module sits right behind the back – without cover it is exposed to dust and knocks. We recommend the swap before it turns into a more expensive follow-up repair.
How long does a Samsung back cover swap take?
On most Galaxy models of the S and A series the back cover swap takes around 1.5 to 2 hours. On foldables such as the Z Flip6 or Z Fold it can take a little longer because the housing is more complex. After pickup we give you an exact time frame.
Does my Samsung Galaxy have a glass or plastic back?
The Galaxy S series (from the S6), the Galaxy A52, A53, A54 and A36 5G have glass backs. Cheaper A models such as the A32 or A22 often have a plastic back – you can tell because it feels less cold and looks more matte. If you are unsure, just tell us your model – we will tell you straight away what is fitted.
Why does the Samsung back break so easily – the sandwich design explained
Since the Galaxy S6 Samsung has used the sandwich design: Gorilla Glass front and back with a metal frame in between. It looks premium and is slim, but has a downside: in a drop the impact energy is transferred to both glass surfaces. Even when the phone lands on one side, the back often cracks too. Gorilla Glass or Gorilla Glass Armor resists scratches, but no glass is immune to drop energy.
Does wireless charging still work after the back cover swap?
Yes – after a professional back cover swap wireless charging works perfectly again. The induction coil sits directly behind the glass back. We fit the new glass with the correct spacing and sealing adhesive and test the charging function before return. If the coil itself was damaged in the drop, we let you know and quote the cost before the repair.
Can the camera module be damaged during the back cover swap?
Not with a professional swap – the camera module sits behind the back but is not removed. We work with special tools and controlled heat to release the back glass without touching the camera module. Cheap repairs without experience can damage the module – which is why we always build in a safety net of diagnostic steps.
What about the Z Flip or Z Fold – can Reparo replace the back?
Yes – Reparo also repairs the Galaxy Z Flip5, Z Flip6 and Z Fold3 to Z Fold6. The outer panel of the Z Flip and the back of the Z Fold are made of reinforced glass, but the construction is more complex than on classic models. The price is confirmed after the diagnostic check because condition, model variant and possible follow-up damage have to be taken into account.
Can I just bring my Samsung into the shop?
Yes, by appointment: you book a drop-off slot in the 22nd district; without a booked appointment nobody is on site. All other repairs run via our pickup service in Vienna or send-in from all over Austria. That way there is no waiting in a shop – you hand over your device and get it back repaired.
How does pickup for the back cover repair in Vienna work?
You book an appointment online or call us. We agree a pickup time at your Vienna address – at home, at the office or any other place you prefer. After the back cover swap we deliver your Samsung back tested and with a 6-month warranty. The pickup fee depends on your zone and is shown during booking.
Can I send my Samsung in from anywhere in Austria?
Yes – you pack your Galaxy carefully and post it to us. We swap the back and send the device back insured. Customers from Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck and all other provinces use this route regularly. You receive packing tips after booking.
Will I lose my data when the back is replaced?
No. During the back cover swap the housing is opened and the back glass released, but board, storage and operating system are not touched. All photos, apps, contacts and settings remain fully intact. We still recommend a backup via Google Drive or Samsung Cloud – a good habit before any repair.
How long is the warranty on the back cover repair?
6 months – on the replacement glass, the adhesive bond and the work carried out. Should the new back glass break within this period due to a material fault, or the bond come loose, we fix it free of charge. Mechanical damage from another drop is excluded.
Is a back cover repair on the Samsung Galaxy worth it?
In almost every case, yes. The back cover swap costs around 7–15 % of the new price. On the Galaxy S25 you pay EUR 99 instead of EUR 899 for a new device. You keep all your data and your familiar phone, and save hundreds of euros. Buying new only makes sense when display, board and other parts are broken at the same time.
Back cracked after water damage – what now?
If your Samsung Galaxy has a cracked back on top of water or moisture damage, a diagnostic check is the first step. We inspect both the back and the board for corrosion and traces of moisture. Back cover and water damage can be treated together. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair.
