Need a screen replacement for your MacBook Air 11-inch? We carry out this work in-house at our London workshop, with a fixed quote before we start.
The 11-inch Air’s glass and LCD are bonded into the lid, so a cracked screen means replacing the full display assembly. We fit the complete assembly, which also includes the camera and antennas, and test everything before returning it.
About this model: The 11-inch MacBook Air is small, light and still popular as a travel or school machine. Its memory is soldered, but its SSD is a removable blade and its battery is screwed in rather than glued, so the most useful repairs remain very affordable.
Signs it needs a screen replacement
- Cracked screen
- Lines on the display
- Backlight dead
- Lid damage after a drop
How we do it
A cracked panel is obvious, but lines, flicker and dark screens can come from the cable or graphics circuit too. We test each before recommending a new display.
Every new display is tested for dead pixels, backlight bleed, brightness range and camera function before the Mac goes back to you.

Before you bring it in
Don’t press on a cracked screen to ‘test’ it, as this spreads the damage. If you have AppleCare+, check your cover first; we’ll help you compare.

Questions we’re often asked
Do you use genuine Apple parts?
Yes, wherever they still exist. For a Mac this age Apple no longer makes many parts, so we fit genuine Apple parts recovered from donor machines and tested before fitting. Where no genuine part is available at all, which mostly applies to batteries, we tell you before any work starts.
Can you fit an SSD while it’s here?
Yes. This model uses a removable apple ssd blade, and swapping to an SSD at the same time is often the best-value upgrade you can make.
