Couldn't you demonstrate right there that the Lightning port wouldn't charge the iPhone? Seems like a pretty simple way to refute the technician's claim.

Sorry badly worded on my part - he meant in perfect condition apart from the fault (ie: we hadn't drowned it or dropped the phone to cause any issue) but couldn't do anything

To clarify, he said that he couldn't repair the iPhone (with you paying for it)?

yes, even if I paid for it. Only solution is to replace the device.
