With a water-damaged phone, time matters more than price. Water on its own won't destroy your phone straight away – the damage comes from electric current and corrosion, which carries on eating into the board even after it has dried out. Below you'll find the current price for water damage cleaning from our repair price list, plus what to do to keep the repair from getting more expensive.
Prices at a glance
From CZK 3,990
Prices include VAT and come straight from our repair price list. We confirm the exact price in advance and never do anything without your consent.
What to do straight away
If the phone is still on, switch it off and don't turn it back on. Don't charge it. Remove the SIM card, dry the outside and leave the phone lying with the connector facing down. Don't use a hairdryer on it and don't put it in rice – rice won't draw the moisture out from inside, and dust and starch get into the connectors. Then bring it in or book a pickup as soon as possible.
What's included in the price
The price above covers cleaning water and corrosion off the board plus diagnostics, and applies to phones of all brands. If it turns out other parts need replacing – typically the display or battery – we'll send you their price for approval. You'll find part prices for your model in our phone repair price list.
What you're paying for
We take the phone apart, disconnect the battery and clean water and corrosion residue off the board with a cleaning solution. Then we measure the power circuits and check the display, connectors and other parts. Our first priority is getting the phone to start up so you can access your data. We'll send you the results and the price of any further repairs, and we won't do anything more without your approval.
Is a repair worth it?
If your data is at stake – photos, contacts, unfinished work with no backup – almost always. Your data is stored in the memory on the board, and on encrypted phones the only way to get to it is to get the phone running again. If you have a backup and the phone is older, we'll tell you honestly after diagnostics whether further repairs are worth it or whether a new phone makes more sense.
Salt water, sugary drinks and coffee do more damage than clean water because they corrode faster. Even if your phone "works again" once it has dried out, we recommend getting it cleaned – corrosion often only shows up a few weeks later.

Frequently asked questions
Can you recover data from a water-damaged phone?
In most cases, yes, as long as we get the phone soon enough. Your data is stored in memory on the board, so our priority is to clean the board and get it working again.
Why shouldn't I put my phone in rice?
Rice only draws moisture from the surface, not from inside the phone. Meanwhile, corrosion keeps spreading on the board, and dust and starch get into the connectors. It's better to switch the phone off and bring it to us.
My phone is waterproof. Why did it get water damage?
IP67 or IP68 ratings apply to a new phone and fresh water. Seals wear over time, and a drop or a previous repair can affect how well they work. Manufacturers don't cover water damage under warranty.
Is the listed price final?
It's the price for cleaning and diagnostics, the same for all brands. If other parts need replacing, we'll send you their price for approval before we start the repair.
Do you also repair water-damaged tablets?
Yes, the process is the same as for phones. You'll find tablet prices in the tablet repair price list.
