For Somercotes residents, we recommend repairing machines under 8 years old where the repair cost doesn't exceed 60% of a replacement's price.

“Good experience overall. Took about 3 hours to hear back but the engineer who came was excellent — knew exactly what the fault was from my description before he even looked at it.”
“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, fixed the drum bearing and it's been perfect ever since. Would have cost me £400 for a new machine — paid £140 for the repair.”
“I nearly bought a new machine but decided to get a repair quote first. So glad I did — the pump replacement cost £95 and it's worked perfectly for 6 months since.”
