The Apple Watch Ultra 2 arrived in 2023, with a 49 mm Always-On Retina LTPO OLED display and the S9 SiP chip. It charges on a magnetic charging puck and it unlocks with a passcode, or from a paired iPhone. There is a titanium frame, and it is rated IP6X and 100 metres water resistant. The big titanium one, with an orange Action button on the left side and a flat sapphire front. Nothing else in the range has that button. A2986 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a water damage treatment.
- It charges intermittently since the spillCorrosion in the port. Charging a corroded port makes it worse quickly.
- It behaved fine and then started restartingClassic delayed corrosion, usually one to three weeks after the event.
- It works now and it went in last weekThe most deceptive outcome there is. Corrosion started the moment it got wet and it does not stop on its own.
- The screen is patchy or discolouredLiquid under the display, and the panel is often the least of what is wrong.
- It charges intermittently since the soakingCorrosion in the port, and every charge attempt makes it worse.
- It has started restarting weeks laterDelayed corrosion catching up. Tell us when it happened, because it changes where we look.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the liquid?
Liquid damage is the one repair where what you do in the first hour matters more than what we do afterwards.
IfIt is wet right now
Turn it off and leave it off. Do not charge it, do not press the buttons, and do not put it in rice. Rice does nothing but hold moisture against the phone. Bring it in as soon as you can.
IfIt went in salt water or anything sugary
Treat it as urgent. Salt and sugar are far more aggressive than clean water and the window before permanent damage is much shorter.
IfYou need what is on it more than the phone itself
Say so first. If data matters more than the handset we work in a different order, and starting the wrong way round can cost you both.
IfIt went in salt water or anything sugary
Treat it as urgent. Both are far more aggressive than clean water and the window before permanent damage is much shorter.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Have the whole device assessed anyway. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
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?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Apple service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
The words genuine and Apple 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.
What the €90 includes
- Full disassembly and inspection of the board
- Ultrasonic cleaning of affected components
- A written assessment of what is recoverable before anything is charged for
- The cost of the assessment taken off the repair if you go ahead
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.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
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
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
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.
Board inspection under magnification
Corrosion is visible long before it is fatal, and that is what decides whether the phone is worth repairing.
Power draw
Checked on the bench before the phone is ever switched on, because a short will do more damage the moment it gets power.
Every function afterwards
Cameras, speakers, microphones, charging and sensors, since liquid does not respect one component.
Cameras, speakers and microphones
All of them are moisture-sensitive and all of them are checked before it goes back.
Will my data be safe?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
Will it still survive a splash?
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
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.

€90, 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.
Assessed first, then quoted. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
No. It is the most persistent myth in phone repair. Rice does not draw moisture out of a sealed device, it holds the phone in a humid pocket and buys corrosion more time. Turn the phone off and bring it in.
Because nobody can see inside a wet phone from the counter. Two phones from the same sink can need a clean and a new board. We charge for the assessment, tell you what we found, and take that cost off the repair if you go ahead.
Often, yes, and it is worth saying that is the priority before we start rather than after.
