iPhone water and liquid damage for La Cala de Mijas
La Cala is beach and pool country, and sea water is the worst thing that can happen to an iPhone — the salt keeps corroding the board long after the phone looks dry. The treatment here is an ultrasonic clean and corrosion treatment from €99, taken as a non-refundable deposit, with any parts quoted to you after the inspection.

Getting here from La Cala de Mijas
About 15 minutes up the A-7 into Fuengirola. Message on WhatsApp as you leave so the phone can go on the bench as soon as it arrives; with liquid damage the delay does more harm than the water itself.
Open Monday to Saturday, 14:00 – 22:00, by appointment.
Why La Cala customers come here
Holiday accidents here often come with a flight in a few days, so a straight answer matters more than optimism. You will be told what the clean found, what it would cost to fix, and whether it is worth fixing at all.
What comes in from La Cala de Mijas most often
- Phones dropped into the sea at La Cala and Torrenueva
- Pool and beach club immersion, usually with the phone still on
- Sand and salt water under an existing crack in the screen
- Phones that came back to life for an hour and then went black
Sea water is a different problem
Fresh water can sometimes dry out with little harm. Salt water almost never does: the salt stays behind as a conductive residue and keeps bridging circuits and eating solder joints for weeks. That is why an ultrasonic clean is the only sensible first step, and why doing it in hours rather than days changes the outcome.
Turn the phone off, leave it off, do not charge it and do not bury it in rice. Bring it over as it is.
If the screen is cracked too
A crack is how the water usually got in around here, and that means two jobs: the clean, and then a screen at the published price for your model if the display has failed. The clean comes first — fitting a new screen onto a corroding board just hides the problem for a week.
Everything is quoted before it is fitted, so you decide with real numbers in front of you rather than an estimate.

La Cala de Mijas questions
- Can a water damaged iPhone be repaired?
- Sometimes. It depends on the liquid, how long the phone stayed powered and how far the corrosion spread. The clean is what makes the answer knowable — nobody can tell you before opening it.
- Will I lose my photos?
- If the phone powers up after the clean, everything is exactly as it was — nothing is wiped. If the board cannot be revived, data cannot be recovered from it here; this is a repair bench, not a data recovery lab.
- How much will the whole thing cost?
- The clean is from €99 as a non-refundable deposit. Anything beyond that — a screen, a battery, a charging flex — is quoted to you separately before it is fitted.
