Water damage can be one of the most stressful problems an iPhone owner faces. A phone may look fine on the outside but still have moisture or corrosion affecting the screen, battery, charging port or internal components.

Apple’s standard warranty generally does not cover liquid damage. Depending on the device and its condition, Apple may offer a paid service or replacement option rather than repairing the phone.

That doesn’t necessarily mean your iPhone is beyond help.

Common problems caused by water damage

Liquid can affect many different parts of an iPhone, sometimes immediately and sometimes days later. Common symptoms include:

• Charging problems
• A blank or damaged screen
• Battery faults
• Speaker or microphone problems
• Camera issues
• Face ID problems
• Random shutdowns
• Buttons that stop responding
• The phone failing to turn on
• Corrosion inside the device

Even if the phone appears to be working, internal corrosion can continue to cause problems over time.

Free water-damage treatment with no obligation

At Ifixed Repairs, our initial water-damage treatment is free of charge. We’ll treat and assess the device, then explain its condition and what repair may be needed.

We also don’t charge to diagnose the problem or provide a repair quote. Once we know the repair cost, it’s completely up to you whether you want to continue.

There is no obligation to go ahead, and you won’t be charged simply for bringing the phone in for assessment and treatment.

Water treatment can improve the chances of recovery, but it cannot guarantee that every damaged phone will be repairable. We’ll give you honest advice once we know what we’re dealing with.

Your data stays protected

Your photos, messages, contacts and personal files matter.

At Ifixed Repairs, we will not erase, reset or remove your data without your permission. If a repair could require any action that may affect the information on your phone, we’ll explain this clearly and ask for your approval before proceeding.

Where possible, we recommend backing up your iPhone before bringing it in for repair. However, if the phone is already damaged or unable to turn on, our first priority is to assess whether it can be safely treated and recovered.

Why professional assessment matters

Water damage is not always obvious from the outside. A phone may switch on but still have moisture or corrosion inside. Continuing to charge or use it could potentially make the damage worse.

A professional assessment helps identify what has been affected and whether repair is worthwhile. It also gives you a clearer idea of the likely cost before you commit to anything.

What happens next?

When you bring your water-damaged iPhone to Ifixed Repairs, we’ll:

1. Assess the device and check for signs of liquid damage.
2. Carry out the initial water-damage treatment free of charge.
3. Explain what condition the phone is in.
4. Provide a clear repair quote if further work is needed.
5. Let you decide whether you want to continue.

You remain in control throughout the process.

Don’t assume your iPhone needs replacing

Apple may not always offer a repair for a liquid-damaged iPhone, but that doesn’t automatically mean replacement is your only option.

Ifixed Repairs can provide free water-damage treatment, diagnosis and a clear quote, with no obligation to go ahead with the repair. We’ll help you understand your options and give you straightforward advice.
