Mac desktop repair cost in the United Kingdom — frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to repair a Mac desktop in the United Kingdom?
Apple UK does not publish an out-of-warranty price for Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini or Mac Studio — confirmed directly against Apple's own pricing tool, which returns no estimate for this product. A repair is quoted by an Apple-authorised service provider after inspecting the machine. AppleCare+ is the only priced route: accidental damage costs £229 per incident, excluding taxes, effective 2 October 2026.
What does AppleCare+ cover for a Mac desktop?
AppleCare+ converts an open-ended repair into a fixed fee per accidental-damage incident. iMac carries its own screen-damage tier at £79. External enclosure damage — a dented or cracked case — is priced at £79. Anything more involved, such as liquid damage or a failed logic board, falls under the £229 other-accidental-damage tier. The service provider decides which tier applies after inspecting the machine.
Why does Mac desktop have no out-of-warranty price, when MacBook has one for the battery?
MacBook has a battery to wear out and replace on a fixed schedule, so Apple prices that one tier out of warranty. A Mac desktop plugs into mains power and has no battery at all, so there is no equivalent fixed-wear part for Apple to price in advance — every repair depends on what actually failed, which is why Apple quotes it after inspection rather than publishing a figure.
Do these AppleCare+ fees include tax?
No. Apple UK publishes these as pre-tax service fees. Applicable taxes are added on top, and the Apple-authorised service provider confirms the final price after inspecting the machine.
