Frequently Asked Questions

Q:
How much does this repair cost?

While we don’t publish fixed prices here, rest assured our quotes are competitive and designed to deliver the best value in Huddersfield. There are no hidden fees, and you’ll approve the final cost before any work continues.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
We avoid the overheads associated with large retailers like Apple, such as premium store locations and extensive corporate staffing.

This enables us to deliver fast, reliable water damage repairs for your Galaxy A8 at a price that beats traditional Apple Store pricing, with a 12-month warranty on workmanship.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
We offer a 12-month warranty on workmanship and parts for water damage repairs on the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018). This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If the issue recurs due to the repair, we’ll assess and, if appropriate, repair again under warranty terms. The warranty excludes damage caused by misuse or unauthorized modifications.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If you experience a problem after the repair, contact us promptly. We’ll diagnose the issue at no extra cost and determine whether it’s covered by the warranty. Our goal is to make it right quickly, whether that means rework, component replacement, or guidance on next steps to restore full functionality.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our repairs are designed to be compliant with manufacturer's requirements and do not void your device’s manufacturer warranty when performed by an authorised-service-partner approach. We provide documentation and ensure your device remains as close to original specification as possible, while offering the protection of our own warranty for added security.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Water exposure commonly affects the Galaxy A8’s charging port, speakers, and motherboard traces. Our technicians perform a board-level inspection, check for corrosion, and dry the device with industry-grade equipment. We test waterproof seals and camera functionality after repair. If MOSFETs or connectors are damaged, we replace them with compatible parts and verify both data integrity and call quality before returning the device to you.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Water or moisture ingress is the primary cause. Quick exposure to liquids, rain, or humid environments can lead to short circuits and corrosion over time. Spillage and improper drying can worsen the situation. Preventative steps include keeping devices away from liquids, using protective cases, and promptly addressing any signs of moisture with a professional assessment.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
Most Galaxy A8 water damage repairs are repairable, especially with prompt intervention. If the motherboard is severely damaged or critical components are unsalvageable, replacement becomes more viable. Our technicians assess cost, feasibility, and long-term reliability during the diagnostic so you can make an informed decision.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
Yes. If multiple components are affected (e.g., charging port plus speaker or camera), we can perform a bundled repair to reduce downtime and consolidate costs. We provide a detailed quote that lists each component and the related labour, along with any volume-based loyalty discounts for families or businesses.
