Liquid damage can happen in a blink, from a dropped drink on a night out to damp weather on the way home. If your **iPhone**, **Samsung**, **iPad**, **MacBook**, or **tablet** got water inside, acting quickly can make the difference between a repair and a full replacement.

Repatch is an on demand device repair service across **Cardiff**. A courier collects your device from home or work, then sends it to our professional technicians for inspection, cleaning, and drying. In many cases, repair can start the same day, and turnaround is often within **2 hours** after pickup.


## What to do right now after liquid damage

If you think your device has **water damage** or **liquid exposure**, follow these steps immediately:

- Power it off right away, do not try to restart it

- Remove the case and any accessories, like cables or chargers

- If it is a phone, wipe the outside gently and keep it upright

- Do not use heat sources like hair dryers, heat can push moisture deeper

- Bring it in as soon as you can for proper cleaning and testing

Delays matter. Even a small splash can cause **corrosion** over time, especially around the charging port, speakers, and internal connectors.


## Why liquid damage needs professional repair

Liquid damage is not only about what you can see. Water can get into the internal circuitry and start to affect performance once it spreads.

Technicians typically focus on:

- **Diagnostics** to check sensors, charging, audio, and power components

- **Cleaning and drying** to reduce residue and prevent further corrosion

- Testing key functions, like charging, touchscreen response, and connectivity

This is why a quick, careful process is important, even if your device seems to work at first.


## Common liquid damage problems we see

In **Cardiff**, we often repair devices exposed to drinks, rain, and condensation. The most common symptoms include:

- Not charging or charging inconsistently

- Random shutdowns or power cycling
