Professional Galaxy A8 (2016) Water Damage Repair Repair in Preston
Choosing a repair partner you can trust in Huddersfield means more than fixing a phone. At iRepair Guys Marsh, we’ve built a reputation for speed, honesty, and lasting results for Samsung Galaxy users.

About Our Water Damage Repair Repair Service
Water damage on the Galaxy A8 (2016) is tricky: we don’t just dry the surface, we trace the moisture into the motherboard and corrosion-prone areas. We repair water ingress with a controlled cleaning, board-level inspection, and component testing using industry-grade equipment. Our parts are sourced from trusted UK suppliers to ensure compatibility and longevity, with strict quality checks before installation. When you choose iRepair Guys, you’re getting a repair that lasts longer than the Apple 90-day standard: our warranty ranges from 12 to 24 months, covering both parts and workmanship. Our process is transparent:
- Free diagnostic to confirm water exposure
- Precise replacement of damaged flex cables and connectors where required
- Comprehensive functional testing after reassembly
- Data integrity checks to protect your information
On average, Galaxy A8 repairs for water damage at our Huddersfield site take 30-60 minutes from arrival to test phase, with same-day results compared to Apple’s typical 3-5 day turnaround.

Expert Advice & Tips
Water damage is insidious for the Galaxy A8 (2016). Common causes of water damage include:
- Submersion in liquids (coffee, beer, pool water) causing corrosion inside the casing
- Humidity and condensation entering seams during rain or in humid environments
- Charging or using the device near liquids which increases the risk of short circuits
- Drops that crack seals or allow water into ports, speakers, or camera modules
- Inadequate drying after exposure leaving moisture trapped inside the motherboard
Prevention tips:
- Use a waterproof case and keep ports covered when near water
- Avoid charging the phone in humid or wet environments
- Dry hands before touching the device, and dry the device before recharging
- Keep the phone away from beverages and never leave it on damp surfaces
When to repair vs replace:
- Minor water exposure with no corrosion can be repaired cost-effectively
- Extensive board corrosion or multiple failed components may exceed device value and replacement could be wiser
- If data safety is critical and device age is under 3-4 years, repair is usually best
- If the repair cost approaches or exceeds 50% of a like-for-like replacement, consider replacement
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Genuine OEM parts sourcing and clear warranty terms
- Transparent pricing and no hidden fees
- Quick diagnostic with a documented repair plan
- Skilled technicians with board-level repair capabilities
Red flags to avoid:
- No written estimate or vague pricing
- No warranty or overly short warranty; or parts from dubious suppliers
- Unclear repair timeline or inability to provide data protection
- Unclean workshop or poor communication
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Avoid exposure to liquids for at least 24-48 hours after repair
- Use a protective case and screen protector
- Regular software updates and battery health checks
- Schedule follow-up checks if you notice any new issues

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
For Galaxy A8 (2016) water damage, the official service price in our system is £0.00.

Any hidden costs?
There are no hidden charges. The price you see is the price you get, subject to the initial diagnostic and any required parts. If additional work is needed beyond the stated service, we will provide a clear, written update before proceeding.

Payment plans or discounts?
We offer loyalty discounts for returning customers and business accounts, plus occasional promotions advertised locally in Huddersfield.

If your device is under an active manufacturer warranty, we can advise on the best course of action to preserve both our warranty and your manufacturer coverage.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Galaxy A8 (2016) water damage commonly affects the charging port, loudspeaker, microphone, and display connections. Our technicians carefully dry, clean, and inspect each component, then perform tests for touch responsiveness, camera operation, and network connectivity. We document all findings and provide a clear plan before any parts are replaced.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Water damage is typically caused by spills, submersion, or humidity exposure. Even small amounts of moisture can corrode contacts and cause short circuits. Early intervention reduces the risk of permanent damage and helps preserve device functionality. Regular checks and protective cases help prevent future incidents.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
Most water-damaged Galaxy A8 devices can be repaired, especially with timely action and quality parts. We evaluate each device individually and recommend the most reliable option. If the damage is extensive or critical components are compromised, replacement could be a more cost-effective or durable solution.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
If multiple issues are detected—such as water damage plus screen or battery faults—we offer multi-repair options. Our team can bundle fixes to minimise downtime and provide a single, consolidated quote. Discounts may apply for multiple devices or multiple repairs within the same visit in Huddersfield and surrounding areas.
