How much to fix a Redmi A5 water damage in Singapore?

S$45 nett for the Chemical Wash option. That's what you pay at the counter — the price on this page is the price, with nothing added to it, and it was last checked 11 Sep 2026. The repair carries 100 days of cover.

How do I know if my Redmi A5 has water damage?

There's a liquid contact indicator inside the SIM tray or the port — a small white sticker that turns pink or red once it's been wet. Beyond that: a screen that flickers or shows odd colours, a speaker that sounds muffled, charging that stops working, or a phone that gets hot doing nothing. Power it off, don't plug it in to test it, and skip the bag of rice — it does nothing except waste the hours that matter, because corrosion starts on the board straight away.

How long does Redmi A5 water damage repair take?

We give you a timeframe after the free diagnosis, not before it. Board-level work is the one kind of repair where an upfront promise would be a guess — some go back the same day, others need longer on the bench. What we will tell you is what we found and how long it'll take, before you decide.

What does the chemical wash involve?

The board comes out and goes through an ultrasonic clean that lifts the corrosion liquid leaves behind, then it's dried, inspected under magnification and tested. It's the step that gives a wet phone its best chance. Whether it's enough on its own depends on how long it sat wet and whether anyone tried to charge it.

Is my data safe, and do you need my passcode?

Back the phone up now if it still turns on. On this kind of repair we work on the board itself and your storage usually comes through untouched — but a phone that has been through liquid or a power fault can lose data before it ever reaches us, and nobody honest will promise otherwise. We don't wipe anything ourselves. We'll ask for your passcode only to test the phone afterwards, and you're welcome to stay and watch it happen.

Do you give a warranty on Redmi A5 water damage repair?

Yes — 100 days on this repair, covering the part we fitted and the work we did. It doesn't cover a fresh drop, liquid or a crack that happens afterwards. Bring the phone back to any branch with your receipt and we'll sort it out.

Where can I get same-day Redmi A5 water damage repair in Singapore?

At any of our four shops — Chinatown, Tampines, Jurong and Yishun — open 11am–9pm daily, no appointment needed. Message +65 9456 6455 before you set off and we'll confirm the part for your Redmi A5 is on the shelf, which is what decides whether it's same-day. Every other repair we do for this model is listed on the Redmi A5 repair page.

My Redmi A5 still turns on after getting wet. Do I still need it checked?

Yes. Corrosion can spread quietly and cause faults days later, so a chemical wash early gives the best chance of full recovery.

What if my phone cannot be recovered?

We work under a Pay Only After Successful Completion policy, so if we cannot revive it you are not charged for the attempt.
