Dropped your iPhone in the sink, pool, or toilet? Don’t panic — water damage doesn’t always mean it’s game over. At Barrie Screen Repair, we specialize in same-day water damage repairs that clean, dry, and revive iPhones when Apple says it’s “unrepairable.”

Water inside your phone doesn’t just stop at the surface. It seeps into charging ports, speakers, microphones, and circuit boards. What starts as a small splash can quickly turn into corroded connections, short circuits, or a dead phone. The faster you bring it in, the better chance we have to save your iPhone and protect your data.

We see every type of liquid disaster you can imagine:

- Coffee, tea, or pop spills (because mornings happen fast)
- Pool or lake drops (yes, Muskoka cottage weekends count)
- Rain, snow, or slush exposure (welcome to Barrie winters)
- Toilet dives (no judgment — you’d be shocked how often this happens)
- Accidental dishwasher or washing machine cycles (yes, it happens too)

Our process goes beyond just “drying it out.” We:

- Disassemble the iPhone completely
- Clean corrosion and mineral deposits with specialized solutions
- Ultrasonically treat logic boards where needed
- Dry and re-seat key components so the phone functions again
- Test everything — from charging and battery health to cameras, speakers, and mic

Why choose Barrie Screen Repair for water damage?

- Same-day service right here in Barrie — no shipping your phone away for weeks
- Thorough cleaning and drying with proper tools, not rice bags
- Full testing before and after the job so you know what works
- Affordable pricing compared to costly replacements
- Friendly, local service trusted by hundreds of 5-star reviews

Don’t fall for internet myths like tossing your phone in a bag of rice. Rice can’t remove corrosion or stop liquid damage — it just wastes time while the damage spreads. Every hour counts after exposure to water. The sooner we open up your device and start treatment, the better your odds of saving it.

Whether your iPhone went for a swim in Kempenfelt Bay, got splashed at a Tim Hortons drive-thru, or fell into the sink while you were washing dishes, we’ve seen it all — and we’ve brought phones back to life from worse.

Give your iPhone its best shot at survival.

We’re honest about water damage — it can be unpredictable. Sometimes an iPhone just needs a simple cleaning or a new screen and it’s good to go the same day. Other times, liquid has seeped deep into the phone, and it might need multiple components replaced before it works again.

While we always do our best to keep repairs affordable, water damage can occasionally get crazy expensive. We’ll give you a pricing estimate upfront before we start, and keep you updated as we go. Because water can spread and corrode in hidden places, repairs can sometimes become messy and take weeks if special parts need to be ordered or unique solutions are required.

If we believe your iPhone is not worth fixing (especially if you don’t need the data saved), we’ll tell you straight. And if we do get it running, we’ll let you know whether it’s likely to be stable long-term or if there’s a chance it could fail again at any time. In every case, we recommend backing up your data immediately after a water damage repair, just to be safe.
