IRP + GAPP · ACST + ACRT
The best of both worlds. For your Apple device.
We are an Apple Independent Repair Provider (IRP), with access to genuine Apple parts through IRP and the Genuine Apple Parts Program (GAPP), and a technician who holds the Apple Certified Support Technician (ACST) and Apple Certified Repair Technician (ACRT) certifications. This training complements our experience in logic board repair.
IRP applies to selected out-of-warranty iPhone and Mac repairs. Component-level board repair is a service provided by ReciclaTecnología. We are an independent repair shop, not an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP); ReciclaTecnología provides the warranty for our work.
iPhone water damage repair in Barcelona
We repair every water-damaged iPhone — from a cracked screen to component-level logic board repair. No job too small or too complex.
Screen replacement
Cracked screen, unresponsive touch, blotches or lines. We replace the complete iPhone display and you pick the quality for your model: Incell, Hard OLED, Soft OLED or original Service Pack.
From 50 €
Battery replacement
A battery that won’t last the day, sudden shutdowns or a battery service warning. We fit a brand-new battery — never second-hand — and your iPhone is back to full performance the same day.
From 49 €
Charging port
An iPhone that won’t charge, a loose cable or one that only works at a certain angle. We replace the Lightning or USB-C connector and clean the port.
From 35 €
Cameras: rear and front
Blurry photos, a cracked lens cover, a camera that won’t focus or won’t open. We replace the rear camera module, the lens or the front camera.
From 25 €
Speaker, earpiece and microphone
No sound on calls, crackly audio or nobody can hear you. We replace the bottom speaker, the call earpiece or the microphone.
From 35 €
Back glass
Cracked or chipped rear glass. We replace it with a laser, without touching the rest of the phone, and the iPhone gets its seal back.
From 55 €
Full housing
A bent chassis, a dented frame or a phone that has lost its seal. We transfer every component into a brand-new housing.
From 80 €
Network and signal: Wi-Fi, 5G and Bluetooth
No coverage, Wi-Fi that won’t connect or Bluetooth that won’t pair. We repair or replace the antennas and the signal circuit.
From 70 €
Logic board repair
An iPhone that won’t turn on, a boot loop, no charging or no signal. Component-level microsoldering with a hot-air station and a microscope.
From 60 €
Liquid damage
It got wet. We open it, clean it in an ultrasonic bath and treat the corrosion before it spreads. The sooner it reaches us, the more we save.
From 70 €
All iPhone models we treat for water damage
Every iPhone from the 8 to the 17 Air. Apple’s IP ratings are measured in a lab on a brand-new phone: seals age, adhesive gets disturbed by earlier repairs, and a three-year-old iPhone is nowhere near as watertight as the spec sheet suggests.
iPhone 17 and iPhone 16
iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and 17 Air. iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. These boards are stacked and densely packed, so cleaning one properly needs a microscope and a steady hand rather than a hairdryer.
iPhone 15, 14 and 13
iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. iPhone 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. These are the wet phones we see most often, usually straight out of a pool, a sink or the sea.
iPhone 12, 11 and iPhone SE
iPhone 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. iPhone SE 2020 and SE 2022. Parts are easy to source for these, so a soaked one is nearly always worth trying to save.
iPhone X, XR, XS and iPhone 8
iPhone X, XR, XS, XS Max, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Older phones tend to arrive with more corrosion, simply because the liquid has been sitting inside longer before anyone brings them in. We still recover plenty of them.
Board-level repair is a fixed price per model, listed in the table further down this page: from 60 € on an iPhone 8 up to 200 € on an iPhone 15 or newer. Not every wet iPhone needs board work, and we tell you which camp yours is in before you commit to anything.
How iPhone water damage repair works at ReciclaTecnología
Five steps, and the first one starts before you reach us.
1. Do not charge it. Do not switch it on. Bring it in.
Power plus liquid is what kills a logic board. Leave the phone off, skip the rice, and get it to Sant Antoni as fast as you can. Walk in Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 20:00, no appointment needed.
2. Free initial assessment
We check the liquid contact indicators, see what the phone still does and tell you what we are probably dealing with. That first look is free. If we need to take it apart to diagnose properly we say so first: a 25€ fee applies only if you then decide against the repair, and it is waived entirely if you go ahead.
3. We open it and clean the board
The phone comes apart and the logic board goes through an ultrasonic bath in isopropyl alcohol. That is the only thing that lifts residue from underneath the shields, the connectors and the chips, which is exactly where the corrosion lives.
4. Corrosion treatment and component replacement
Under the microscope we clean the corroded pads and connectors and replace the components the liquid has eaten away. This is microsoldering work, and it is the stage where we find out whether your data is coming back.
5. Full testing, then a clear quote
Charging, screen, cameras, speakers, microphones, Face ID and signal all get tested before we phone you. You get a realistic price and a straight answer about what we can and cannot promise.
Time is the whole game here. An iPhone cleaned the same day it went in the water usually comes back. One that sat in a drawer for a fortnight often does not. If it happened this morning, come now.
Why choose ReciclaTecnología for water damage repair in Barcelona?
Most shops dry a wet iPhone out and hope. We open it, clean it and repair the board.
Rice does nothing
Rice pulls a little moisture out of the air and that is all. It does not touch the mineral residue sitting on your logic board, and that residue keeps eating the copper for weeks. Every day in a bag of rice is a day the damage spreads.
Ultrasonic cleaning, not drying
We strip the board out and run it through an ultrasonic bath. It reaches under the shields, the connectors and the chips, places a cotton bud will never get to. This is the step that decides whether a wet iPhone lives.
Board-level microsoldering
When liquid has destroyed a component we replace it under the microscope instead of telling you the phone is finished. Fixed price per model, listed further down this page. A good number of the phones we bring back had already been written off somewhere else.
Your photos come first
On a soaked phone the data is usually what you actually care about. Getting your files off is the first thing we go for, and you get an honest read on the odds before you spend anything.
We are straight about the warranty
Our 3-year warranty applies to the work carried out and the parts we install. Failures caused by liquid or corrosion are excluded when they cause the issue being claimed. This does not remove cover for a defect attributable to our work or the installed part. We explain the scope and risks before starting.
Walk in, and we speak English
No appointment, no booking system. Carrer del Marquès de Campo Sagrado 13-15, Sant Antoni, Monday to Saturday 10:00 to 20:00. Or message us on WhatsApp at 936 241 954 — that is the fastest way and it leaves a written record. Both numbers also take calls, answered by an automated voice system, never a person: 936 241 954 · 931 872 337. We deal with expats and visitors all day, and hundreds of Google reviews say we do it well.
What our customers say
Real reviews from our Google profile. Most are written in Spanish by customers here in Barcelona — we have not translated them, because they are theirs, not ours. Read them all on Google.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before bringing your iPhone in for repair.
My iPhone got wet. Can it be saved?
Very often, yes. It comes down to which liquid it was and how long it has been inside: salt water and sugary drinks do the most damage, and every day that passes lowers the odds. Bring it in for a free initial assessment and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
Does putting an iPhone in rice work?
No. Rice absorbs a bit of moisture from the air and nothing more, and it leaves the corrosive residue sitting on the logic board. Every day the phone spends in rice is a day the corrosion spreads. Bring it to us instead.
My iPhone still works after the spill. Do I need to do anything?
Yes. Corrosion builds up over days and weeks, so a phone that survived the first night can die a fortnight later. An internal clean now is far cheaper than a board repair later on.
Can you recover my photos from a water-damaged iPhone?
In many cases yes, provided you act quickly. Data is the first thing we go after on a wet phone, before anything else. We give you the realistic odds after the initial assessment, not after you have paid.
How much does iPhone water damage repair cost?
The initial assessment is free. Cleaning is quoted once we have opened the phone and seen the real state of the board. If the logic board itself needs repair, the price is fixed per model: from 60 € on an iPhone 8 up to 200 € on an iPhone 15 or newer, as listed in the table on this page.
Is water damage covered by your 3-year warranty?
Damage caused by liquid or corrosion is excluded when it causes the claimed fault. The 3-year warranty still applies to defects attributable to our work or an installed part, in accordance with our repair terms. We assess the cause of each issue rather than automatically cancelling all cover.
How long does it take, and do I need an appointment?
No appointment: walk in Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 20:00, at Carrer del Marques de Campo Sagrado 13-15 in Sant Antoni. Many repairs are finished the same day, though a liquid job depends on what we find once the board is out. Cleaning and testing can be done in hours; replacing corroded components takes longer.
