Specialist Acer Laptop Liquid Damage Repairs
Liquid damage to your Acer laptop can be catastrophic, but it doesn't always mean the end of your device. At Atlantis, we have specialised in laptop water damage repairs for 20 years. Whether it was a glass of water or a cup of coffee, our goal is to save both your laptop and your data. Our technicians use advanced ultrasonic cleaning to meticulously remove corrosion from the internal motherboard and logic boards. Our fixed £130 fee covers the majority of standard liquid damage cases, including minor component replacement. If your device requires high-cost parts like a new screen, we provide a full quote before proceeding. In the rare event your Acer is beyond viable repair, we only charge a nominal £15 inspection fee. We serve the entire UK via our free Royal Mail postal service or you can visit our Canterbury repair shop.

Meet the Atlantis Senior Engineering Team
Our senior engineering team in Canterbury brings two decades of experience to every liquid damage case. Liquid damage is a time-sensitive issue; our technicians prioritize these units to stop corrosion in its tracks. Using a combination of ultrasonic cleaning and micro-soldering, we aim to save laptops that other shops might label "unrepairable." Every device is handled with extreme care to protect your data and hardware.
