FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
My laptop still works after the spill - is it OK?
Not necessarily. Corrosion develops over hours and days. A laptop working immediately after a spill can fail days later as components corrode. Professional cleaning now prevents future failure.
Should I put it in rice?
No - rice doesn’t help and can make things worse (dust, starch residue). Don’t use a hairdryer either - it can spread liquid and cause heat damage. Just power off and get it to us quickly.
What are the chances of repair?
Success rates vary. Quick action (within 24-48 hours) significantly improves chances. Clean water spills have better outcomes than sugary drinks or coffee. We’ll give you an honest assessment.
Can you recover my data even if the laptop can't be repaired?
Usually yes. Even in severe cases, we can often extract the storage and recover data. This is included in our assessment.
How much does laptop water damage repair cost?
Assessment and ultrasonic cleaning start from £75. The full repair cost depends on how far corrosion has spread and which components need work — we always give you a clear quote before proceeding. Acting fast (within 24–48 hours) usually keeps costs down by limiting corrosion.
Is it worth repairing a water-damaged laptop?
Often yes, especially if you act quickly. Clean-water spills caught early have good recovery rates; sugary drinks and delays lower the odds. If the board is beyond economical repair we tell you honestly and focus on recovering your data instead.
