Gold Coast Water Damage Phone Repair Done Right Today
Gold Coast Water Damage Phone Repair Done Right Today
We’re a local mobile phone repair service on the Gold Coast handling iPhone and Samsung water damage daily. Our technician diagnoses fast, then repairs what’s needed so your smartphone runs again. We treat corrosion, replace parts with quality components, and test thoroughly. You get your device back with peace of mind. Need help now? Contact us to book a same-day assessment.
What to do first after water damage
Turn the phone off, leave it off, and book a diagnosis; powering on risks short circuits that turn minor damage into board faults.
Do not charge, shake, or heat the device; keep it upright and bring it in so a technician can open your iPhone or Samsung safely.
Liquid wicks through speaker grilles, the charging port, and button gaps. A quick clean outside won’t stop corrosion inside. Our repair service removes the screen, inspects the board, and starts treatment. Example: a phone in water at Burleigh still lit up; the owner kept using it. The backlight driver failed overnight. Early power-down could have saved that chip.
Immediate steps
- Power off and do not charge.
- Remove case and SIM; wipe gently.
- Keep upright; avoid pressing buttons.
- Book water damage diagnosis on the Gold Coast.
Quick answers
Does rice fix smartphones?
No. Rice does not remove minerals or corrosion. Proper cleaning, drying, and board inspection are required for reliable results.
How long should I wait before repair?
Do not wait. Corrosion starts within hours. Bring the phone in the same day for the best outcome.
Can I back up first?
If it’s still on, back up quickly, then shut down. If it’s unstable, power off and let us attempt data-first diagnosis.

How our diagnosis and repair process works
We open your phone, disconnect power, and assess the extent of the damage; then we quote the repair work before proceeding.
We ultrasonic-clean affected parts, replace corroded connectors, and test functions so repairs are completed with care.
Our technicians check for liquid indicators, measure shorts, and clean the board. We test the display, camera, speakers, and charging. If parts fail, we replace with high-quality parts. Example: a Galaxy with no charge often needs a charging port and battery replacement after treatment.
What we inspect
- Charging port, microphones, speakers.
- Screen assembly and backlight circuits.
- Battery health and connectors.
- Sensors, cameras, and buttons.
PAA on the repair process
What happens if the screen is also damaged?
We can do screen repair or screen replacement as part of the job. Whether it’s a cracked screen or water lines, we’ll quote both.
Will my phone be waterproof after?
No. After liquid damage, original seals are compromised. We reseal for dust and splash, but full water-resistance is not restored.
Is data recovery possible?
Often. If storage and board are intact, we prioritise a power-on for backup. Severe corrosion reduces chances.

Prices and timeframes for repairs on the Gold Coast
We diagnose first, then provide a quote; water damage costs vary by parts needed and the extent of the damage.
Simple cleaning may be quick; board work or multiple parts take longer. We use only high-quality parts for lasting results.
Turnaround depends on corrosion severity, parts availability, and test cycles. Some repairs finish same day; others need extended drying and re-tests. Example: an iPhone 12 Pro with liquid in the charging port needed a port and battery; tests ran overnight to confirm stability.
What affects price and time
- Corrosion level and board faults.
- Screen damage or backlight failure.
- Charging IC, audio IC, or camera issues.
- Parts supply for your model.
FAQs on pricing and logistics
Is it cheaper than a new phone?
Often, yes—especially for recent iPhones or Samsung Galaxy models. We’ll give options so you can decide to repair or purchase a new phone.
Do you list repair prices online?
We can share guide pricing, but liquid damage requires inspection. Contact us for an estimate after diagnosis.
Are repairs covered by warranty?
Water damage usually voids manufacturer warranties. Our work includes a repair warranty on parts we replace.
When this may not be the right fit
If the phone has severe board corrosion, heavy saltwater exposure, or previous unsuccessful board work, success rates drop.
If you need guaranteed waterproofing or instant data recovery from a dead board, professional data labs may be a better path.
Some phones with unknown repair history show multiple faults after liquid. In those cases, we may advise data-first service or discuss moving to a certified refurbished device. Example: an older iPhone X with liquid and swollen cell phone battery might cost more than its value.
Consider alternatives
- Data-only recovery when the device is beyond economical repair.
- Trade-in toward a new phone if repairs exceed value.
- Cloud restore to a loan device while we diagnose.
How to judge urgency
If the phone was in water, act today; every hour increases corrosion and short risks.
Shut down now and book diagnosis. Do not charge or use wireless charging, which can heat and spread damage.
If the device still works, back up immediately, then power off. If the phone won’t boot or gets hot, keep it off and bring it in. Example: a “phone in water” that seems fine can fail days later; early cleaning prevents hidden damage.
Simple decision guide
- Wet phone and no charge → urgent diagnosis.
- Screen damage with flicker → include screen replacement check.
- Random restarts → likely corrosion under connectors.
- Important data → prioritise data-first approach.
