What this fixes
What a water damage treatment actually fixes.
- It will not turn on since getting wetBring it in rather than charging it. Putting power through a wet board is what turns a recoverable phone into a dead one.
- 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 speaker is muffled sinceWater in the mesh. Sometimes it clears and often the driver has already gone.
- 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.
IfIt got wet weeks ago and has only just started misbehaving
That is corrosion catching up and it is still worth assessing. Tell us when it happened, because it changes where we look.
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.
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?
Genuine Samsung service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
We will not describe a part as genuine, original or Samsung certified unless that is what is going into your phone. If the honest answer is premium aftermarket, that is what we say at the counter.
What the €35 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
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
You approve the price
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
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.
Every function afterwards
Cameras, speakers, microphones, charging and sensors, since liquid does not respect one component.
Every port and every button
Because corrosion spreads to whatever it can reach, not only to the part you noticed.
Charge and discharge under load
A board that behaves at rest can fail the moment it is asked to do something.
Will my data be safe?
We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.
The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.
Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.
Will it still survive a splash?
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
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.

€35, 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.
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.
No, and no honest shop covers it. Corrosion carries on after the repair in ways nobody can predict or control, so a warranty on it would be a promise we could not keep.
Often, yes, and it is worth saying that is the priority before we start rather than after.
No. It is the most persistent myth in phone repair. Rice does not pull moisture out of a sealed device; it holds the phone somewhere humid and gives corrosion more time. Turn it off and bring it in.

Customer reviews
Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
