Mac Repair Surrey
Apple Specialists, Local Prices
Door-to-door MacBook, iMac and Mac mini repair across Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham. Logic board component-level repair, genuine battery replacement, SSD upgrades and macOS expertise — all at our secure base, no appointment needed.
What Mac Repair Surrey Covers
Every type of Apple Mac — MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio — repaired by specialists who work on nothing else all day.
Apple's hardware is beautifully engineered, but when it fails the official repair route can be eye-wateringly expensive. Logic board replacement at an Apple Authorised Service Provider often costs £600 to £1,200, and they will not attempt component-level repair at all. That's where PC Fix Express comes in: we collect your Mac from your door, diagnose at the component level at our secure base, and fix what can be fixed — saving you hundreds compared to a full board swap.
Our Mac repair service covers the full spectrum of Apple hardware faults. The most common issues we see from customers in Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham include:
- MacBook battery replacement — swollen batteries, runtime under 2 hours, sudden shutdowns, "Service Recommended" warnings
- MacBook screen replacement — cracked Retina panels, broken hinges, Staingate anti-reflective coating delamination, backlight faults
- Logic board repair — power delivery faults, charging circuit failure, GPU issues on 2011–2015 MacBook Pros, random shutdowns
- Liquid damage recovery — full ultrasonic board clean, corrosion removal, IC-level component replacement
- SSD upgrades — remove mechanical HDDs and ageing Fusion Drives in iMacs; upgrade removable SSDs in compatible MacBook Pros; fit external Thunderbolt NVMe enclosures for soldered-storage Macs
- RAM upgrades — iMac and Mac mini SODIMM upgrades where user-accessible; soldered LPDDR diagnosis
- Charging port / MagSafe repair — broken USB-C charge ports, MagSafe 3 faults, charger IC failure
- Keyboard replacement — butterfly keyboard swap, Magic Keyboard retrofit, sticky keys, top case replacement
- Trackpad replacement — unresponsive trackpads, trackpads swollen by battery pressure, cable faults
- Thermal service — dust removal, thermal paste refresh, fan replacement on noisy or failing bearings
- macOS diagnosis and reinstallation — boot loop fixes, macOS recovery, Time Machine restore, Apple ID and iCloud lockout help
- iMac hard drive to SSD conversion — the single biggest performance upgrade possible for any older iMac
We cover every Mac model from 2013 onwards: MacBook Air (11", 13", 15", M1, M2, M3), MacBook Pro (13", 14", 16", Intel and Apple Silicon), iMac (21.5", 24", 27", Intel and M3), Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro. We also work on the 2012–2015 MacBook Pros still beloved by audio and video professionals across Surrey.
Why Customers Book Mac Repair in Surrey
The five most common scenarios that bring Macs into our secure Leatherhead base.
🔋 "My MacBook battery is done"
Runtime has dropped to under an hour, the trackpad is clicking oddly (a swollen battery is pressing up from below), or macOS is showing "Service Recommended." We fit genuine replacement batteries for every MacBook model from 2013 onwards £99 service fee + battery and calibration.
⚡ "My Mac has become really slow"
An iMac or MacBook with an old mechanical HDD or a failing Fusion Drive is a misery to use. Swapping in a high-speed NVMe SSD is the single biggest transformation you can make — boot times drop from minutes to seconds. See our hardware upgrades page for full SSD upgrade pricing.
💧 "I've spilled water on my MacBook"
Turn it off, close the lid, flip it upside down like a tent, do not plug it in, and call 07762 809301. We carry out full logic board ultrasonic cleaning and component-level diagnosis. Success rate is over 80% if we see the MacBook within 48 hours. Even if the board is beyond repair, your SSD data is almost always safe — see our data recovery page.
🖥️ "The screen is cracked or flickering"
Whether it slipped off the sofa in Oxshott or a child stepped on it in Bookham, cracked Retina panels are a daily job for us. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro screen replacement ranges £99 service fee + the screen (quoted before work) depending on model and panel type. See also our screen repair page for the full breakdown.
🔌 "It won't charge or turn on"
A MacBook that refuses to charge or power on usually has a USB-C charging port failure, a charging IC fault on the logic board, or — on older Intel MacBooks — a failed MagSafe board. We diagnose at component level and repair rather than replace the whole board wherever possible, typically saving 40–60% versus the Apple Store quote.
What's Included in Our Mac Repair Service
Every Mac booked into our secure Leatherhead base gets the same meticulous, Apple-grade treatment.
- Free initial diagnosis — full hardware assessment using Apple Diagnostics, component-level inspection and macOS log analysis
- Logic board inspection — visual microscope inspection of the entire board for liquid residue, burnt components, cracked solder joints and stressed connectors
- Genuine Apple or OEM-grade parts — wherever Apple makes parts available to independents we use genuine; for restricted parts we use OEM-grade equivalents from the same supply chain, disclosed to you upfront
- Thermal service — thermal paste refresh on CPU/GPU, heatsink fin cleaning, fan bearing check included with any internal repair
- Internal clean-out — fans, heatsinks, speaker grilles and hinge channels cleared of dust and debris
- macOS check — full disk verification, SMART health, macOS reinstall if needed, Apple ID and iCloud sign-in check
- Battery health report — cycle count, capacity wear, cell balance and charge controller status reported with every repair
- Firmware updates — EFI/SCS firmware brought up to the latest stable release where applicable
- Data safety — before any repair that risks data we offer a full Time Machine backup to our secure storage, free of charge
- Stress testing — CPU, GPU, storage and thermal soak tests run post-repair to confirm stability under sustained load
- Screen and hinge calibration — Retina displays tested for dead pixels, backlight bleed, True Tone and brightness uniformity; hinge tension verified
- 30-day workmanship warranty — every Mac repair is covered for 30 days on labour, plus a minimum 12-month warranty on all fitted parts
If your Mac needs something beyond a straightforward repair — an SSD upgrade, a data migration, or ongoing business support — we'll point you to the right service: hardware upgrades, data recovery, or business IT support.
Why Customers Choose PC Fix Express for Mac Repair
Five reasons Apple users in Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham come to us instead of the Apple Store.
Apple Specialists
Our technicians are Apple-focused. We work on Macs every working day, we know the common failure points of every model year, and we carry the specialist tools — P5/P6/T5/T8 Torx, suction cup screen pullers, ESD mats — that generic PC shops simply do not own.
Logic Board Component Repair
Apple Stores do not repair logic boards — they swap them for £600–£1,200. We carry out component-level diagnosis and fix the individual failed capacitor, IC or MOSFET, typically saving you 40–60% versus a full board replacement.
30–60% Cheaper
Out-of-warranty Mac repairs at our secure base are typically 30 to 60% cheaper than the equivalent Apple Authorised Service Provider quote — and we do repairs the Apple Store flat-out refuses, like board component swaps and older-model battery retrofits.

Logic board component-level repair ranges £99 service fee + components depending on the fault. Diagnostics are included in the £99 standard service fee. For comparison, the same repairs at an Apple Authorised Service Provider are typically 30–60% more expensive.

We always confirm the realistic timeline in your written quote, and we'll WhatsApp or call the moment your Mac is ready.
Where Apple makes parts available to independent repair providers, we use genuine Apple components — batteries, screens, trackpads and speakers on supported models. For parts Apple restricts to their own stores, we use OEM-grade equivalents from the same supply chain, and we tell you exactly what is being fitted before you approve. All parts carry a minimum 12-month warranty.
Yes — we replace MacBook Air and MacBook Pro batteries for all models from 2013 onwards. Battery replacement starts £99 service fee + battery, battery health calibration and environmentally safe disposal of the old battery. Signs you need a new MacBook battery include runtime under 2 hours, sudden shutdowns at 20–30%, a "Service Recommended" warning in macOS System Information, or a visibly swollen trackpad. Swollen batteries are a safety issue — bring it in to our secure Leatherhead base straight away.
In most cases, yes. A MacBook that will not power on usually has a logic board power delivery fault, a failed charging circuit, a swollen battery pressing on internal components, or liquid damage. We diagnose at component level and carry out board-level repair where it makes economic sense. If the internal SSD is intact we can always recover your data — see our data recovery page for full details.
Yes. For iMac we replace failed mechanical HDDs and ageing Fusion Drives with fast NVMe SSDs (the single biggest performance upgrade possible — see our hardware upgrades page), upgrade RAM on user-accessible models, replace swollen LCD panels, and carry out power supply and logic board diagnosis. For Mac mini we offer SSD upgrades, RAM upgrades, thermal repaste and full logic board diagnosis. We work on every iMac and Mac mini from 2013 onwards.
For out-of-warranty Mac repairs, yes — typically 30 to 60% cheaper than an Apple Authorised Service Provider. We also offer component-level logic board repair, which the Apple Store does not do at all (they replace the entire board). And unlike sending your Mac away for weeks, we fix it locally in Leatherhead with free collection across Surrey. For reference, see also our PC repair and laptop repair pages if you also have non-Apple devices.
On most Intel Macs and the Apple Silicon Mac mini and Mac Studio, yes. We upgrade SSDs on MacBook Pro and iMac models where the storage is removable, and upgrade RAM on models with SODIMM slots. For MacBooks with soldered storage (most Retina models and all Apple Silicon MacBooks) we fit external Thunderbolt NVMe enclosures as a fast, elegant alternative — see hardware upgrades for pricing.
Often yes, especially if we see the MacBook within 48 hours. We carry out full logic board ultrasonic cleaning, component-level diagnosis and replacement of corroded fuses, capacitors and ICs. The success rate for liquid-damaged Macs arriving at our secure base within 48 hours is over 80%. Even if the board cannot be saved, your SSD data is almost always recoverable through our data recovery service.
Yes. We support creative agencies, designers, architects, solicitors and accountants across Leatherhead, Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Oxshott and Fetcham with Mac repair and ongoing IT support.
