The Galaxy A55 came out in 2024, with a 6.6 inch Super AMOLED display. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is 50MP main, 12MP ultra wide and 5MP macro on the back, and it is rated IP67. Three separate lenses on a glass back, with a metal frame and a raised key island on the right edge. SM-A556B is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a back glass replacement.
- Cracked or shattered rear panelThe phone works, the back is broken. Mostly cosmetic at first, and it does not stay that way.
- Cracks that spread every time the phone warms upGlass under tension. It will keep going, slowly, and it does not repair itself.
- Pieces missing around the camera housingThe most common place for the back to fail, because the camera stands proud and lands first.
- The back is cracked and the phone will not sit flatCheck the battery. A swelling cell pushes from inside and it is a different and more urgent job.
- Sharp edges that catch on a pocketIt stops being cosmetic at this point. Loose glass cuts and it lets dust and moisture at the inside.
- A cracked camera lens as well as the backTwo separate parts. The lens usually matters more, because it shows up in every photograph.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely just the back glass?
The back is the one repair where doing nothing is a reasonable choice for a while, so it is worth being straight about when it is not.
IfThe back is cracked but nothing is lifting
There is no urgency. Put a case on it and book when it suits. It is worth knowing the phone is no longer sealed against water.
IfYou are selling or trading the phone soon
Worth doing. A cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs on most models.
IfThe glass is cracked and flat and nothing else has changed
No urgency. It does not spread the way a front screen does, and it can wait until it suits you.
IfGlass is lifting or coming away in pieces
Do it now. Loose glass cuts, and a back that has started shedding is a longer job than one that has not.
IfWireless charging stopped at the same time
Say so when you book, because the coil may need replacing along with the glass and that changes the price.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Genuine Samsung service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
- The back glass is the way into a Galaxy for most internal repairs, so it comes off routinely. It is replaced with fresh adhesive and reseated rather than reused.
What the €50 includes
- A replacement rear panel fitted and sealed
- The camera surround checked and replaced where it is part of the panel
- Wireless charging tested after fitting
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
Back glass is cosmetic and structural at once, so the tier question is really about colour match and how the adhesive behaves.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification. On most colours it is indistinguishable; on a handful of finishes it is very slightly off and we will tell you which yours is before you decide.
€50The €50 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
Ask about the wireless charging coil at the same time. It sits under this glass, it can be damaged in the same impact, and it is cheaper to sort while the phone is already open.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.
Free diagnostic
We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
You approve the price
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Rear cameras
Every lens, checked for fragments and for focus, since the camera glass sits in the same assembly on most models.
Seal and fit
Edges checked all the way round. A back that is proud at one corner will lift again.
Wireless charging
Confirmed with a pad after the repair, because the coil sits directly under the part we replaced.
Seal around the edge
Refitted with fresh adhesive so rain and splashes stay out, which is the honest limit of what a resealed phone can promise.
Will my data be safe?
This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

€50, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Not while it is flat and holding together. It becomes urgent when the glass starts lifting, because loose glass cuts fingers and lets dust and moisture inside.
On several phones the back glass is bonded to the frame and has to be taken out in pieces with heat, and on some it is separated with a laser. The part is cheap; the removal is the job.
On most models yes, and we tell you before we start if your colour is one where it will not. Some finishes are made in a way nobody outside the factory reproduces exactly.
Yes, noticeably. On most models a cracked back takes more off a trade-in valuation than the repair costs, which is the practical argument for doing it.
You can, and it hides the cracks rather than fixing anything. Glass that is already lifting will keep lifting under a skin.

Customer reviews
Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
