MacBook repairs we carry out in Bournemouth

Diagnosis first, then a clear quote:

MacBook screen repair Bournemouth

MacBook battery replacement Bournemouth

Keyboard and trackpad

Butterfly keyboards that stick or double-type, spill-damaged keys, and trackpads that are unresponsive, erratic or won’t click.

MagSafe and USB-C ports

Not charging, charging on and off, or the charger not being recognised — we repair or replace the port.

Liquid damage and logic boards

Spills are among the most serious Mac faults. Switch it off at once and bring it in; we clean and repair the board where it’s viable.

SSDs, cooling, macOS and data

SSD replacement on Intel models, fan cleaning and thermal paste, boot loops and kernel panics, and data recovery from failing drives.

A note on Apple Silicon MacBooks

On M1, M2, M3 and M4 Macs, the processor, graphics, memory and Neural Engine share a single chip, while storage chips sit directly on the main board. That means RAM and storage can’t be upgraded the way they could on Intel models, and a failed SSD is a logic board job.

The everyday repairs — screens, batteries, keyboards, trackpads, charging ports and physical damage — are still very much achievable. We’ll be upfront about what can and can’t be done before you commit.

Apple Service Pack parts for your Mac

Closest to an Apple repair. For a range of Mac repairs we can supply Genuine Apple Service Pack parts — the components Apple uses itself. Standard quality parts are also available if budget comes first.

Both routes are stocked for our Bournemouth customers, and we’ll explain how they differ, and what each costs, before any work. More on genuine Apple parts.

MacBook repair prices in Bournemouth

Your Mac’s model, its fault and your choice of part set the price. A MacBook Air battery sits at the lower end; a 16-inch MacBook Pro display or a liquid-damaged logic board at the upper end.

You’ll have a clear quote before we start and no surprises afterwards. Indicative prices are listed via our booking page.

Apple computers repaired methodically — not a pop-up job

Macs, and Apple Silicon models in particular, aren’t something every repair counter is equipped for. We know which repairs are straightforward and which need careful assessment first, and we won’t overstate what’s possible to win the job.

Our Old Christchurch Road shop is part of CrC Repair®, working on Apple hardware since 2004 across ten stores. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

MacBook repair Bournemouth — FAQs

Can you repair Apple Silicon MacBooks (M1 to M4)?

Yes. Screens, batteries, keyboards, trackpads, charging ports and physical damage are all very achievable on M-series Macs. Because the RAM and SSD are part of the logic board, memory or storage upgrades aren’t possible on those models — we’ll explain what that means for your machine.

I’ve spilt a drink on my MacBook — what now?

Shut the lid, hold the power button until it’s off, disconnect the charger and skip the hairdryer. Get it to our counter quickly; corrosion on a logic board worsens by the hour.

Do you offer Genuine Apple parts for Macs?

Yes, across a range of Mac repairs, alongside standard quality parts where budget comes first. We’ll explain the difference and price both. More on genuine Apple parts.

My butterfly keyboard has sticky and repeating keys — can you fix it?

Yes. The butterfly keyboards on certain Intel MacBook Pro models are prone to dust getting under the keys. We replace the keyboard with the correct part for your model.

How long does a MacBook repair take in Bournemouth?

Batteries and many screens are completed within a day or two when parts are in stock. Spills, board-level faults and file recovery need longer — we’ll set expectations when you hand it in.

Do you repair iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro?

Yes. In store we replace iMac displays, swap desktop SSDs, upgrade RAM where Intel models allow it, and repair ports and clogged fans.

What warranty do Mac repairs carry?

Twelve months, whatever we fix — displays, cells, storage, keyboards, trackpads, charging ports and spill repairs alike. Terms are on our warranty page.
