Repair duration90 minutes

Water damage? Switch off your Samsung right away, do not switch it back on and do not put it on the charger. Every time power runs through a wet device, more can break. Then come by as soon as possible: the sooner we clean your Samsung, the bigger the chance that we can save it. Cleaning takes 90 minutes on average, but the total time we spend on it differs a lot from case to case.

Water damage is not a straightforward repair. Where most manufacturers turn down a water damage repair because of its complexity or low chance of success, at ThePhoneLab we do offer it. To be fair: we cannot guarantee that we can restore your Samsung. This depends very much on the situation. Our specialists tell you in advance what the chances are and what it costs. A Samsung water damage repair starts at €59.

The different types of Samsung devices

Samsung Galaxy phones

Your Galaxy S, A, Z or Note in the water, the washing machine or a puddle of rain? Switch it off, do not charge it and come by. The faster we clean it, the bigger the chance that your phone and your data survive.

Your photos and data

For many people the data matters most. If your Samsung switches on again after the cleaning, you can secure your photos, contacts and messages right away. Another reason why it pays to come by quickly.


How we handle your data

Just dropped it in water?

Switch off your Samsung right away, do not switch it back on, do not charge it and do not put it in rice. Dry the outside and come by as soon as possible. Every day counts.


Read what to do right away

What do we do during a Samsung water damage repair?

To limit the damage, we disassemble your Samsung and chemically clean the parts, such as the motherboard. This removes leftover moisture, salt and minerals and any corrosion that has already formed. We then dry your device carefully. Only then can we switch it on safely and test whether all parts work. Simply put, there are three possible outcomes:

  1. After the cleaning, the water damage is fully repaired and your Samsung works completely again.
  2. After the cleaning and diagnosis, one or more parts turn out to be permanently damaged and need to be replaced before your Samsung works fully again. Often this is the screen or the battery.
  3. The motherboard shows no sign of life, so we cannot test the other parts. If you want, we can then continue with a motherboard repair. This comes with additional costs.

After the cleaning you always hear first what we found and what a possible follow-up repair costs. You decide whether we continue.

Why no “no cure, no pay” for water damage?

For almost all our repairs you only pay if we fix it. A water damage cleaning and diagnosis, however, take a lot of time, whatever the outcome. That is why we charge a fixed amount starting at €59, even if your Samsung turns out to be beyond saving. Any parts that need to be replaced afterwards are quoted separately in advance.

What does a Samsung water damage repair cost?

The cleaning and diagnosis start at €59. What a possible follow-up repair costs depends on your model and on the parts that need to be replaced; you always hear that in advance.

Warranty on water damage

We cannot give a warranty on a water damage repair. Even if your Samsung works again after the cleaning, parts can be invisibly damaged and still fail later. We simply do not always know exactly what the water has reached. Our specialist explains in advance what this means for your device.

Not sure if it is worth it?

Often it is. A cleaning is much cheaper than a new device, and if your Samsung switches on again, you can at least secure your photos and data. Come by and we will look together at what is possible.
