Mac repair questions
How much does a Mac repair cost?
Mac repairs start from £60. Battery replacements typically cost £150–£250. Screen replacements range from around £250 for a refurbished screen to £1,000 or more for some MacBook and iMac models. We always give you a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does a Mac repair take?
Most Mac repairs take around a week, depending on parts. Some Mac parts have to be ordered in, which can take longer, and we'll tell you the expected time when we quote.
Should I take my Mac to Apple instead?
If your Mac is still under Apple's warranty or AppleCare+, check with Apple first, as the repair may be covered. For Macs outside warranty, we can often repair a part that Apple would replace as a whole, such as repairing a logic board rather than replacing it, which can cost less.
Can you repair a Mac logic board?
Yes. We carry out board-level repairs, which can often save a Mac that would otherwise need a whole new logic board. We also replace boards where a repair isn't possible.
I've spilled a drink on my Mac. What should I do?
Switch it off straight away, don't try to charge it, and bring it in as soon as you can. Liquid causes corrosion over time, so the sooner we clean and assess it, the better the chance of a repair.
Can you recover files from a Mac that won't start?
Often, yes. On newer Macs, the storage is built into the logic board, so recovering the data usually means getting the board working first. That's one reason board-level repair matters. Call us to talk it through.
Is my old Mac worth repairing?
Often, yes. A new battery or an SSD upgrade can give an older Mac years more use. Very old Macs may no longer get macOS updates, so we'll take that into account and tell you honestly if a repair isn't worth it.
How do I find my Mac's model?
Click the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and choose About This Mac to see the model and year. If your Mac won't turn on, look at the small print on the bottom of the case for a model number beginning with A, such as A2337.
