What To Do Immediately After Water Damage
Acting quickly makes all the difference. Here’s what to do if your device is exposed to water or other liquids:
-
Power off your device immediately and do not charge it.
- Do not attempt to dry it with a hairdryer or heater — this can worsen the damage.
- If possible, remove the SIM card, memory card, and accessories.
- Bring it to Mister Click as soon as possible for a professional liquid damage cleaning.
When water interacts with internal circuits, it causes oxidation and corrosion that spreads rapidly. The sooner our team can perform ultrasonic cleaning, the greater your chance of saving the device and your data.
Our Professional Water Damage Repair Process
We follow a precise multi-step restoration process to ensure your phone, laptop, or tablet is cleaned, tested, and repaired to professional standards.
-
Free Diagnostic Assessment: We inspect the motherboard, connectors, and internal components for corrosion or short circuits.
-
Safe Disassembly: Your device is carefully dismantled and prepared for specialised cleaning.
-
Ultrasonic Cleaning: We use a state-of-the-art ultrasonic cleaner with a proprietary electronics-safe solution to remove oxidation and impurities.
-
Microscopic Inspection: Components are checked under magnification to confirm complete cleaning.
-
Testing & Diagnostics: We test every function — power, display, battery, audio, camera, and sensors.
-
Repair & Replacement: If additional parts (like screen or battery) are needed, we’ll send a quote before continuing.
-
Data Recovery Option: If the device cannot be restored, we can still attempt data recovery.
We repair all major brands — including Apple iPhone & MacBook, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Oppo, Huawei, Microsoft Surface, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.
Water Damage Repair Costs
Every case is unique, depending on the level of corrosion and which components are affected. In some cases, only cleaning and a new battery are needed. In severe cases, additional parts like the screen, earpiece, or charging port may need replacement.
Once diagnostics are complete, we’ll provide a clear quote with no hidden fees. If you choose not to proceed or the device is beyond repair, a small cleaning fee applies to cover the ultrasonic process and technician time.
Warranty & Transparency
Our goal is to provide honest, transparent service. While water damage cleaning itself cannot be guaranteed to fully restore every device, all replacement parts installed by Mister Click (e.g. screens, batteries, speakers) come with a warranty covering both parts and labour.
If a component fails later due to pre-existing corrosion, we’ll assess it again and provide the most cost-effective repair option available.

FAQ – Water / Liquid Damage Repairs Melbourne
➕ How fast should I bring in a water-damaged phone or laptop?
Immediately. The first 12–24 hours are critical. Turn it off, don’t charge it, and bring it to Mister Click as soon as possible for the best recovery chance.
➕ Can putting my phone in rice fix water damage?
No. Rice does not remove corrosion or moisture trapped inside. Only professional ultrasonic cleaning can stop internal oxidation and restore circuit integrity.
➕ How long does the water damage repair process take?
Most water-damage repairs are completed within 24–72 hours. Timing depends on how severe the corrosion is and if replacement parts are needed.
➕ Can you recover data from a water-damaged device?
Yes — if your phone or laptop cannot be fully repaired, we can still attempt data recovery and safely transfer your files to a secure drive or new device.
➕ Are the replacement parts genuine or high quality?
We use genuine and premium-quality parts for all brands to ensure restored performance, reliability, and battery safety.
➕ What if the device can’t be fixed?
If recovery isn’t possible, you’ll only pay the cleaning and diagnostic fee. We can also help you select a refurbished phone at a discounted rate.
➕ Can I post my device if I’m outside Melbourne?
Yes — use our Mail-In Repairs service to send your device securely. We’ll diagnose, confirm a quote, repair, and return it via tracked shipping.
