The Pixel 9 arrived in 2024, with a 6.3 inch Actua OLED display and the Google Tensor G4 chip. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with a fingerprint reader under the display. It is rated IP68. Two cameras rather than three, a glossy back and a satin frame. That is the reverse of the Pro, which has a matt back and a polished frame.

What this fixes
What a water damage treatment actually fixes.
- It went in water and still worksThe most deceptive one. Corrosion starts immediately and keeps going, so a phone that survived the swim often fails days later.
- It charges intermittently since the spillCorrosion in the port. Charging a corroded port makes it worse quickly.
- 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.
- The screen is patchy or discolouredLiquid under the display, and the panel is often the least of what is wrong.
- The camera is fogged from insideMoisture behind the lens. It rarely dries out and it usually means the module.
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 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.
IfOnly one thing is wrong, like the speaker
Still assess the whole phone. One symptom after a soaking rarely means only one thing is affected.
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?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Google 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 Google 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 €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.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
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
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
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.
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 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.
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?
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?
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
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.
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.
Often yes. Corrosion is progressive rather than instant, and phones arrive here working weeks after a soaking and are still recoverable. The assessment tells you where it actually stands.
Often, yes, and it is worth saying that is the priority before we start rather than after.
Often yes. Devices arrive here working weeks after a soaking and are still recoverable. The assessment tells you where it stands and it costs nothing to find out.
Because corrosion carries on afterwards in ways nobody can predict. A warranty on it would be a promise we could not keep, and no honest shop offers one.
