Appliance Repair Costs in Kent
2026-05-222 min read
Typical Repair Costs
Call-out and diagnosis: £45–£75, usually absorbed into the repair cost if you proceed. Washing machine repairs £85–£180. Oven element or thermostat £85–£130. Dishwasher, tumble dryer and fridge freezer repairs typically £80–£160.
Repair or Replace?
If the repair costs less than 40% of a new appliance and the machine is under 8 years old, repair is the smarter choice. A £120 fix on a 5-year-old £350 machine makes sense. A £200 repair on a 12-year-old £200 machine does not.
