Apple out-of-warranty Mac repair specialist in Bournemouth

In-house technicians with years of experience

Our Apple Mac repair technicians have many years of experience repairing all different models of Macs.

We differ from many other Apple Mac repair companies, as we perform repairs down to a component level using micro-soldering under a microscope (schematics, diagrams & boardview) to save your expensive hardware, giving you the best repair price.

If you are experiencing any problems that are not listed below, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you and provide a quote, and advise as to what your repair options are and how much it will cost.


Logic Board Repair

We are able to repair your existing logic board, for a reasonable cost, whilst preserving your data.


Data Recovery

Apple Macs have their storage soldered to the logic board – we are able to repair >85% of logic boards & recover your data.


Liquid Damage Repair

A full service, including ultrasonic cleaning, logic board repair and examination under a microscope to bring your Mac back to life.

Our Repair Process

1 - Bring in your device, anytime

You will be quoted exactly the same as on our website - a fixed labour fee. There is no need for us to see your device to quote you, we just need a simple description of the fault.

2 - Receive a call/email update

We will assess your device, and call/email you with an update - or to say your device is repaired. Depending on complexity and if parts are required, this can be 1-5 working days.

3 - Collect your repaired device

Once any parts have been authorised and your device is repaired, you can collect your computer/laptop. We accept card, cash or bank transfer - you can even pay online before collection.

Fast, communicative with really competitive prices (full service including pickup and return delivery to the customer) who replaced the screen on my MacBook Pro. A five-star company worth recommending which I highly recommend.

After a quick WhatsApp exchange, my personal MacBook was collected, repaired and returned far quicker than expected. And at half the quoted cost from the original manufacturer. Well packaged for safe return. Ferrero Rocher are a nice touch! Works perfectly. Would highly recommend and use again if needed. Thanks.

Great Job to repair my 2021 Mac Pro A2442 Screen at less than half the price of an official apple repair (£379) I looked around for numerous prices and this was the cheapest I could find. Easy service to use - Prepaid Royal Mail next day delivery provided and the repair was completed within 48 hours of sending off and ready to be retruned via next day delivery. Highly reccommend! Many thanks for your service!

After a long trouble free period with my desktop - I urgently needed help as my computer became totally unreliable with an intermittent fault. Mohamed and his team were awesome. Ready to help immediately they worked tirelessly and diligently to resolve the problem. In the meantime they made sure I was kept fully up to date with progress using WhatsApp and messages. Adam was particularly helpful and took time to explain several queries with great patience. The computer was sorted out at a very reasonable charge and I am up and running again. Excellent company with old fashioned service and attention to customer satisfaction. These chaps know their stuff!

Sent these guys a MacBook Pro after Apple quoted £700 to replace the screen - no chance when I can do it here for £400. Not only was it cheaper, but the customer service is excellent; the customer service was far and beyond, exactly as you'd expect from a local business. Thank you guys.

Excellent experience with a new battery for my Mac today. Email communication, quote, work everything quick and efficient. Not super local to me but was recommended by a family member and I'd definitely use and recommend again.

Under the microscope... see what we see!

Alongside are some photos of our latest jobs - all of which were successfully repaired.

Possessing tools like a microscope and thermal camera allow us to conduct repairs to a standard that many shops are not able to, and in the case of Apple Macs - allows us to repair your existing logic board, saving you hundreds of pounds as well as your precious data.

Our laminar flow hood filters the surrounding air to such a degree that it can be used for forensic DNA analysis! This allows us to refurbish MacBook screens to the highest standard, without letting in dust from ambient surroundings. #macbookrepair

This has to be some of the worst corrosion we’ve had this year - it’s not looking great for this customer, but that hasn’t stopped us yet!

Another shop fixed this iMac before and used hot glue/silicone to reattach the screen, not genuine Apple adhesive strips! 
When picking a shop to repair your Apple product, make sure they specialise in Apple repairs so they don’t do a bodge job like this! The official adhesive is specially designed and cut, so that it holds the display securely, whilst allowing the iMac to be opened again for service.

This USB C port was completely ripped off when the laptop was dropped while charging. The customer thought it was a write-off and time to get another one. After rebuilding the tracks on the motherboard, and soldering on a new port, its as good as new and lives to see another day. #soldering #righttorepair

This PS5 came in due to randomly turning off. Like many we have seen, in some cases, standing up the console causes the liquid metal to drip down over time, and cause air gaps between the processor and heatsink. Another easy fix for the bits team. #repair #bournemouth

This PS5 came in for a flickering screen. On this occasion, the HDMI port was OK, but the motherboard was damaged, and the tracks to the port were all ripped off.
Thanks to our #Amscope #microscope we are able to repair these fine tracks that are under 1mm in width each!

Using our specialist thermal imaging camera, we can search for short circuits invisible to the naked eye. 
In this case, the customer lost their data due to a design flaw on the A1990 MacBook Pro, which electrocuted the SSD storage chips 😢 #MacBookRepair

This MacBook Pro 2012 model had a cup of water spilled on it, and the customer kept using it causing severe corrosion.
Despite being classed as a 'vintage' model this MacBook was cleaned and fixed up in no time and back in the customer's hands 🙂

This is by far the worst MacBook we've ever seen - poor thing! It was run over by a car and left outdoors in severe rain after the customer lost it.
Challenge accepted.

This customer was quoted £700+ for a logic board replacement at Apple due to water damage. With us, they paid £199. 
Whats more, we saved hundreds of precious photos that weren't backed up, which they would've lost with Apple.
