After replacing the screen or battery, how can I ensure that my iPhone 7 will remain water resistant?

Hey people,

Tomorrow, finally, I will get my iPhone 7, MB,128GB (I was thinking to skip the 7, but I'm tired of the size of my 6+, and from the 16GB as well. At least hope the battery of 7 won't be worse than 6+) but I was thinking ....

If some day, I need to replace my battery, screen or something, ok, I will change them but after that - how I can be sure that the phone will be water resistant again(I know that there's something like a 'black silicone glue' between the screen and the main base of the phone, but how it can be recovered?). There is no Apple Store in my country. Also, I don't trust to the Resellers (they charge a lot more expensive, as well. For example, I order iPhone screen for 60Euro and replace it by myself, but they charge for the same - between 150 - 200 Euro(?!?!?!))
