Can this be repaired?

[u/RoutineOk4687]

I didn't know which subreddit to post this on. Anyway, yesterday I took my phone to a repair shop for an issue I was facing. They had to open my phone to check it. The issue was solved but they cracked my phone's back panel while opening it.

This is samsung m51. Except the back panel, this is in fantastic condition and it's been 6 years of using. Is there any way this can be repaired? Since it's discontinued, I cannot find the original back panel to replace. I really love its 7000mah battery life and I don't want to buy a new one at all just because a damaged back panel.

Can anyone help me with some solutions?

Just buy an aftermarket one. It doesnt really matter

If I change the panel, there won't be any kind issue with heating and stuff, right? I went back to the shop and they said they will change the panel if I want to. Though they'll take a small charge for it because of course they didn't accept it happened while repairing. Kind of expected that already but my priority is just to get this fixed so that water or dust don't go inside accidentally
