A phone that has gone for a swim or a laptop that has met a spilled kopi is a different problem from a cracked screen. Corrosion keeps working on the circuit board long after the surface dries, so the choice of workshop matters more than the part itself. This guide gathers eight Singapore providers whose own pages describe liquid-damage work, from ultrasonic cleaning and chemical washes to micro-soldering and file recovery. We summarise what each says it does rather than rank outcomes, since no listing can promise a save. Switch the device off, skip the rice, read the how-to-choose notes at the end, then ask any shop to confirm scope and costs in writing.

1. Citri Mobile

Citri Mobile publishes dedicated water-damage pages for iPhones, Android phones, tablets and MacBooks, which makes it one of the easier workshops to size up before you walk in. Its pages describe a chemical wash in which the device is disassembled, cleaned in an ultrasonic solution, dried, inspected under magnification and tested, with board-level repair offered if cleaning alone is not enough. The site states that it is an Apple Independent Repair Provider and lists model-by-model nett prices and a warranty period in days on the page itself. It says data is left untouched on most jobs, while cautioning that liquid or power faults can damage files before a device arrives. Its listed shops are in Chinatown, Tampines, Jurong and Yishun.

2. PhoneDoctor

PhoneDoctor has a standalone page for water damage and corrosion that lays out three services: an ultrasonic clean, chip-level board repair for corrosion-damaged components, and data recovery from water-damaged handsets. The page also sets out what to do in the first minutes, advising owners to power the phone off, remove the SIM and case, and avoid rice or hair dryers, and it says a free assessment comes before any work. The shop publishes a recovery rate and a warranty period for water-damage jobs, which are its own figures rather than anything LocalRank has verified. Its site lists a Parkway Parade outlet, with opening hours stated as daily from late morning to evening, and a WhatsApp line for quick enquiries.

3. Atomware Mobile

Atomware Mobile describes itself as an Apple Certified Independent Repair Provider at Sim Lim Square, and its iPhone page includes a water damage restoration section covering corrosion cleaning with ultrasonic technology, component-level motherboard repair and data recovery. The shop says diagnosis happens in front of the customer at its counter, and that it isolates hardware rather than wiping a phone, which matters if you are hoping to keep photos. It quotes its own success figure for devices treated within a day, a claim worth treating as marketing rather than a guarantee. The page says it has served customers since the late 2000s and mentions emergency liquid-damage service for walk-ins. Check prices on the day, because the page lists them only for some repairs.

4. myhalo

myhalo runs a water damage page for phones, laptops, PCs and tablets that is unusually specific about method. Its site describes an in-depth diagnosis of damage and corrosion, a chemical clean with 99 percent isopropanol, then oven drying for several hours before a final evaluation. It publishes a two-outcome fee structure, a cleaning fee with extra charges only if parts are needed, and says a reduced fee applies if you decide repair is not worthwhile. The page states myhalo is ISO 9001:2015 quality-management certified, and it advises owners to bring devices in quickly instead of powering them on. It also offers separate data recovery for laptops and PCs. Its site lists branches at Bugis Junction and Sim Lim Square.

5. Esmond Service Centre

Esmond Service Centre focuses on laptop liquid spills and gives unusually candid terms. Its water-damage page says every case starts with a compulsory chemical-cleaning charge, paid upfront and non-refundable, after which diagnosis is free and the shop advises whether further repair is worth the money. It lists motherboard and hardware repair as a separate stage, names the laptop brands it handles, including MacBooks and Surface devices, and states plainly that water-damage repairs carry no warranty because corrosion is unpredictable. The site also points owners of unrecoverable machines towards data recovery. It lists two service centres, at Midview City near Sin Ming and at Alexandra Retail Centre, and a WhatsApp route for sending photos and symptoms ahead of a visit.

6. Mac Infinity

Mac Infinity is an Apple-focused workshop, and a post on its site describes MacBook liquid-damage repair built around ultrasonic cleaning to remove mineral and corrosion deposits, followed by component-level logic-board work in place of whole-board replacement. The shop says it examines how far liquid has spread before giving a quote. Its home page highlights an in-house flash-storage data recovery service for badly water-damaged MacBooks and says that most board faults can be fixed without losing data. Its contact page lists a Millenia Walk shop, open daily including public holidays. The blog post that describes the move from Funan carries no year, so confirm current services and charges by message before travelling with a wet laptop.

7. Laptop Doctor

Laptop Doctor is a small Ang Mo Kio workshop whose liquid-spill page covers Windows laptops and MacBooks. The site describes a process of isolating battery power, a chemical wash with ultrasonic cleaning to strip minerals and corrosive deposits, thermal drying with micro-inspection of power rails, and targeted swaps of corroded keyboards, trackpads or power boards. It states that a zero-dollar diagnostic comes first, and that any online price is only an initial estimate until the machine is physically inspected, which is a sensible caveat for liquid cases. The page adds that a dead laptop may still allow file extraction from an accessible drive. The shop welcomes walk-ins and describes itself as an independent third-party service centre rather than an authorised one.

8. CBL Data Recovery

CBL is a data-recovery laboratory rather than a repair shop, which suits the case where the photos matter more than the handset. Its iPhone page says liquid-damaged phones are tackled by cleaning corrosion and repairing the logic board at component level so the device can boot long enough to copy files off, while keeping the original board. It states that it does not do screen or battery work and cannot unlock a passcode-protected iPhone, and it lists water damage among cases it often recovers. It offers a free diagnosis and written quote before work, and its lab sits near Tai Seng MRT.

How to choose

  • Act before you shop around. Power the device off, do not charge it and remove the SIM or battery if you can, because corrosion keeps spreading after the surface dries. Several workshops here say the sooner a board is cleaned the better its chances. Rice is not a fix, so call ahead and book a same-day assessment instead.
  • Ask what the first step costs and whether it is refundable. Some workshops charge a cleaning fee before any diagnosis, while others offer a free assessment and quote afterwards. Both models appear on this list. Get the fee, the extra charges for board repair and the no-repair outcome confirmed in writing before you hand the device over.
  • Match the shop to the device and the goal. A phone workshop, an Apple specialist and a data-recovery lab each handle liquid damage differently. If you only want the device working, a repair shop may suffice. If irreplaceable photos matter more than the hardware, tell staff first so nobody replaces the board.
  • Treat success rates and warranties as the provider's own claims. Figures such as recovery percentages are published by the businesses themselves and are not independently verified. Some liquid repairs carry no warranty at all because corrosion can return. Ask for the warranty terms in days, what voids them and whether they cover water damage specifically.
  • Protect your data and your accounts. Back up beforehand if the device still starts, and ask whether the shop will wipe anything or need your passcode. Encrypted phones cannot be unlocked by anyone without it. Turn off Find My or device-lock features before handing over a device if the shop requests it, and keep the receipt.
