MacBook Water Damage
Liquid damage is one of the most common MacBook repairs we perform.
Many MacBooks are damaged when water, coffee, wine, soft drinks, or other liquids are accidentally spilled onto the keyboard. Unlike many modern mobile devices, MacBooks are not water-resistant. Once liquid enters the device, it can cause corrosion, short circuits, and permanent damage to internal components if left untreated.
The sooner the MacBook is professionally inspected after a spill, the greater the chance of a successful repair.
What to Do if You've Spilled Water on Your MacBook
If you've accidentally spilled liquid on your MacBook:
- Turn the MacBook off immediately by holding the power button.
- Disconnect the charger and all connected accessories.
- Turn the MacBook upside down to help drain excess liquid.
- Place it on a clean towel or microfibre cloth.
- Do not use a hairdryer or expose the MacBook to direct sunlight, as excessive heat may cause further damage.
- Arrange a diagnostic inspection with uBreakiFix as soon as possible.
The sooner corrosion is treated, the better the chances of saving both your MacBook and your data.
We Repair All MacBook Pro & Air Models
We repair liquid-damaged MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models of all generations.
After the diagnostic inspection is complete, we provide a detailed report outlining the damage, recommended repairs, and the total repair cost.
If the MacBook cannot be repaired, your diagnostic fee will be fully refunded.
If you choose not to proceed with the repair after receiving your diagnosis, the diagnostic fee remains payable as it covers the inspection and testing process.
With more than 300,000 repairs completed, we're ready to help restore yours.
Recovering Data from a Water-Damaged MacBook
For many customers, recovering important documents, family photos, or business data is the highest priority after liquid damage.
In many cases, data recovery is possible provided the internal SSD or storage components remain functional.
For MacBook models manufactured before Apple's T2 Security Chip, data recovery may still be possible even if the MacBook itself cannot be economically repaired.
MacBook models equipped with Apple's T2 Security Chip and newer Apple Silicon models use encrypted storage. In these cases, data recovery generally requires successful repair of the logic board, as the data cannot be accessed independently from the storage.
Our technicians specialise in advanced logic board repairs designed to maximise the chances of recovering valuable data whenever possible.
MacBook Water Damage Repair Cost
MacBook liquid damage repair costs vary depending on the MacBook model and the extent of the damage.
Repairs generally start from around $150 for MacBook Air models and $249 for MacBook Pro models.
The final repair cost depends on the affected components, corrosion damage, and whether replacement parts are required.
Following your diagnostic assessment, we provide a detailed repair quote before any work begins.
