Mac repair
MacBook keyboard replacement
Missing keystrokes, repeated characters and liquid-related key faults need the Mac model and history checked. Tell us the exact model and when the problem started.
If liquid was spilled recently, switch the MacBook off and disconnect power.

Understand the problem
Keyboard symptoms worth describing
One damaged key, a whole group of keys and an intermittent keyboard can point to different parts of the assembly or another fault.
Keys do not respond
One key, a group or the whole keyboard fails even after restarting and checking ordinary settings.
Characters repeat or feel wrong
Keys type twice, stick, feel uneven or require unusual pressure.
The fault followed a spill
Liquid exposure can affect the keyboard and components below it, so replacement should not be assumed to be the only work needed.
Tell us the Mac model, keyboard layout and exactly which keys are affected.
What the service covers
What determines the repair approach
MacBook construction varies by model and year. On some machines the keyboard is part of a larger top-case assembly.
- MacBook type, year and model identifier
- UK or other keyboard layout
- Individual, grouped or full-keyboard symptoms
- Previous liquid or physical damage
- Keyboard, connector and top-case considerations
- Compatible part or assembly options
- Workshop disassembly requirements
- Functional checks after reassembly
Liquid exposure needs broader inspection
If any liquid reached the keyboard, stop using and charging the MacBook. A keyboard symptom does not reveal how far the liquid travelled, and internal corrosion can continue after the surface looks dry.
What happens next
A clear repair process
Model and layout information prevents an estimate being based on the wrong keyboard assembly.
Identify the MacBook
Enter the model or year, keyboard layout and a precise list of affected keys.
Review likely parts
A suitable engineer checks construction, parts availability and whether inspection is needed first.
Agree the workshop repair
The likely scope, timescale and cost are discussed before disassembly or parts are ordered.
Before you decide
What affects keyboard repair cost?
Part construction, layout and any associated liquid damage matter more than the number of keys that appear faulty.
Model and assembly
Some models allow keyboard-level work while others use a larger integrated top-case assembly.
Part option
Availability and condition of compatible parts vary by model, year and layout.
Additional damage
Liquid, connector or top-case damage can expand the repair beyond a keyboard fault.
Questions customers ask
Can one key be replaced on its own?
Sometimes a keycap or mechanism can be addressed, but underlying switch or assembly damage may require a larger repair. The model and damage need checking.
Why do you need the year or model?
MacBooks that look similar can use different keyboard assemblies, layouts and disassembly methods.
Can keyboard replacement be done as a call-out?
Most MacBook keyboard replacements require controlled workshop disassembly. The engineer will confirm the practical service method.
Typing around failed keys is no longer practical?
Send the MacBook model and keyboard symptoms. A local engineer can check parts and discuss the appropriate workshop repair.
