iPhone water and liquid damage for Marbella

Pools, boats and beach clubs account for most of the liquid damage that comes down from Marbella. The workshop is 25 to 35 minutes along the A-7 in Fuengirola, and what is offered is an ultrasonic board clean and corrosion treatment from €99 as a non-refundable deposit — not a promise that the phone will definitely come back.

Getting here from Marbella

A-7 or AP-7 from Marbella, Nueva Andalucía or Puerto Banús. Call or message before you set off; with liquid damage the phone should be switched off and travelling, not waiting until tomorrow.

Open Monday to Saturday, 14:00 – 22:00, by appointment.

Why Marbella customers come here

Liquid damage is where the difference between a counter and a bench shows. Instead of a flat 'water damage' price or an outright refusal, you get the board cleaned properly, a clear report of what is actually broken, and separate quotes you can say no to.

What comes in from Marbella most often

  • Phones lost overboard or soaked on boats out of Puerto Banús
  • Pool and jacuzzi immersion at villas in Nueva Andalucía and the Golden Mile
  • Champagne and cocktail spills at beach clubs
  • Phones that charge, vibrate or heat up but never show a picture

Before the drive down

Power the phone off and keep it off. No charging, no hairdryer, no rice. If it is in a waterproof-looking case, open it and dry the outside — water trapped against the ports keeps wicking in.

Salt water from the sea is the most destructive, chlorinated pool water next, and sweet drinks leave a sticky residue that traps moisture. Whichever it was, the clock is the thing you can still influence.

The report you get afterwards

Once the board is cleaned and dried I test it and tell you one of three things: it is working, these specific parts have failed and here is the price of each, or the board is beyond economic repair. There is no upselling of parts onto a phone that will not recover.

If a replacement screen or battery is part of the answer, those are the same published prices everyone else pays — no Marbella premium.

How the repair works

  1. 1

    Switch the phone off, do not charge it, and message me on the way over.

  2. 2

    The phone is stripped and the board is cleaned ultrasonically, then corrosion is treated and dried.

  3. 3

    It is reassembled and tested, and you get a plain report of what is working and what is not.

  4. 4

    Any parts needed are quoted separately and only fitted once you agree.

Marbella questions

Do you offer a pickup from Marbella for a water damaged phone?
Ask on WhatsApp — it depends on the day. Bringing it straight down is almost always faster, and speed is the one factor that still helps at that point.
Why is the water damage price a deposit rather than a fixed repair price?
Because the clean and the corrosion treatment take the same work whatever the outcome. Charging it as a non-refundable deposit from €99 is the honest way to price labour that cannot come with a guaranteed result.
How soon should I bring it in?
The same day if you can. Corrosion keeps working while the phone sits, and days of waiting change what is recoverable.
