If your MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina needs a screen replacement, our London technicians can help, usually with a quote on the same day you bring it in.
On the Retina 13-inch the only fix for a cracked screen or peeling anti-reflective coating is a full display assembly. Apple’s old quality programme for the coating has ended, so we fit the assembly ourselves. We also check the display cable, because flicker on this model is sometimes the cable rather than the panel.
About this model: 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.
Signs it needs a screen replacement
- Staingate coating damage
- Cracked screen
- Lines or dead pixels
- Flickering
How we do it
We first check the MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina on an external monitor. If that works, the fault is in the display or its cable; if not, the logic board is involved, which changes the repair.
After fitting, we check for dead pixels, even backlighting, brightness control and the camera before handing it back.

Before you bring it in
If it still works on an external display, back it up first. Bring the charger, and tell us whether the damage came from a drop, pressure or a spill, as it helps us check for hidden damage.

Questions we’re often asked
What parts do you use?
Genuine Apple parts. We test each one after fitting so you know the repair is right before you collect it.
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.
