iPhone water and liquid damage for Benalmádena
Between the marina, the beaches and the water park, Benalmádena sends more soaked iPhones down the road than anywhere else on this stretch. The workshop is seven to ten minutes away in Fuengirola, and with liquid damage that short distance genuinely matters: the sooner the board is cleaned, the more there is left to save.

Getting here from Benalmádena
Drive down the coast road or take the C1 train from Arroyo de la Miel to the Fuengirola terminus. Message on the way so I can start on it when you arrive, any time between 14:00 and 22:00.
Open Monday to Saturday, 14:00 – 22:00, by appointment.
Why Benalmádena customers come here
Most places either refuse liquid damage outright or quote a flat repair price as if it were a screen swap. What is offered here is honest: an ultrasonic clean and corrosion treatment from €99 as a non-refundable deposit, a clear report of what is damaged, and separate quotes for any parts.
What comes in from Benalmádena most often
- Phones in the pool at Benalmádena Costa apartments and hotels
- Sea water immersion off the beaches and at the marina
- Water park and boat trip accidents
- Phones that charge but stay black, or that show a wet-connector warning
The hour before you set off
Switch the phone off and leave it off. Do not plug it in to 'see if it works' — a charging current through a wet board is what turns a recoverable phone into a dead one. Skip the rice and skip the hairdryer; neither removes the salt or the minerals that eat the circuitry.
If it is in a case, take the case off, dry the outside and keep the phone upright. Then bring it straight over — from Arroyo de la Miel the train takes minutes.
What happens on the bench
The phone is stripped down, the board is cleaned ultrasonically so residue and corrosion come out from under the shields and connectors, and it is treated and dried before reassembly and testing. That is the €99 minimum, charged as a deposit whatever the outcome.
Afterwards you get a plain answer: it works, or these parts have failed and here is what each costs, or the board is gone. Screens and batteries damaged by the water are published prices; nothing is fitted without your say-so.

Benalmádena questions
- My iPhone went in the pool and still works — do I need anything done?
- Back it up today, because liquid damage often appears days later. If you want the board cleaned before corrosion sets in, that is the same €99 treatment.
- How long does the liquid damage service take?
- Usually same day, depending on drying time and how busy the bench is. If parts turn out to be needed, that is quoted first and may add time.
- Is the €99 refundable if the phone cannot be saved?
- No. It is a non-refundable deposit because the clean and the corrosion treatment are carried out either way. That is stated up front so there is no surprise.
