iPhone Water Damage Repair in London
Every week we see iPhones dropped in water. Some are saved. Some aren't. What you do in the first hour makes the difference.
What to do immediately
- Turn it off immediately.
- Do NOT charge it — the most common mistake, and it can permanently destroy the logic board.
- Do NOT use a hairdryer — heat causes secondary damage.
- Remove the SIM card and pat dry with a cloth.
- Bring it to us as quickly as possible.
What our treatment involves
- Open the device and check water damage indicators.
- Disconnect the battery immediately to prevent short-circuits.
- Ultrasonic cleaning of the logic board to remove mineral deposits.
- Magnified inspection for corroded components.
- Component replacement where possible.
- Full reassembly and test.
Rice is a myth
Leaving a phone in rice does virtually nothing — it doesn't remove the mineral deposits left by water that cause corrosion over hours and days.
Will it work?
There's no guarantee. Phones brought in within 24 hours have a much higher success rate than those left for several days. We offer a free initial diagnosis — no charge if the phone is beyond repair.
Does water resistance matter?
iPhones from iPhone 7 have IP67 or IP68 ratings — but these degrade over time, especially after drops. IP ratings are tested under controlled lab conditions, not real-world use.
Pricing
Diagnosis is free. Water damage treatment starts from £49, with logic board repair and component replacement priced after assessment.
