Mac Repair London offers repairs for the MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina in Central London, from simple part swaps to component-level logic board work.
The 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro (A1425 and A1502) is still a strong everyday machine, particularly the 2015 model. Memory is soldered and the battery is glued, but the SSD is a removable blade, so storage can still be upgraded. The Retina screen’s anti-reflective coating can peel (‘staingate’), and batteries of this age are mostly worn out.
Common faults we fix
- Anti-reflective coating peeling off the screen
- Worn or swollen glued battery
- Keyboard damage after spills
- Small SSD full
- Liquid damage
- Overheating from dust

Before you bring it in
Back up your files if it still starts, bring the charger or power cable, and write down what happened just before the fault appeared. The more detail you give, the quicker the diagnosis.
Which model do you have?
This page covers the MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina (2012–2015) (MacBookPro10,2 / 11,1 / 12,1; A1425, A1502). The A-number is printed in tiny text on the base, near the hinge. You’ll also find the model in Apple menu > About This Mac. Not sure? Bring it in and we’ll identify it for you.
Price
We give you a fixed quote after a free initial assessment, before any work starts. The initial assessment and advice are free, as long as we don't need to open your Mac. If a technician needs to open it and spend time diagnosing the fault, or you need a report for an insurance claim, it is booked in as a diagnostic at £45 + VAT (£54). All prices are subject to inspection, and nothing is done without your approval.
Questions we’re often asked
Can you repair it the same day?
Many repairs are done on the same day when parts are in stock. Board-level work and data recovery usually take a few working days, and we’ll give you a realistic time when we quote.
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.
Do I pay if you can’t fix it?
No. If the repair isn’t possible, you don’t pay for it, and the free initial assessment costs nothing.
