Basic appliance repairs for simple faults. Often it's something straightforward that doesn't need a £150 engineer callout - I'll fix it or tell you honestly if you need a specialist.
### Not Everything Needs Replacing
Appliance stopped working? Before you drop £500 on a new one, **check if it's actually broken**. Loads of 'faulty' appliances just need simple fixes - blocked filters, loose connections, worn seals. Ten minutes work, not ten years in landfill.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Manufacturers love when you replace instead of repair. Your 'broken' dishwasher might just need a £5 part and five minutes work.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Extended warranty?** Check before I do anything - some warranties void if non-approved person works on it. Though most extended warranties are a waste of money anyway. **Parts obsolete?** For really old appliances, parts can be hard to get. I'll check availability before you commit to the repair. **Not my thing?** If it's gas work, complex electronics, or needs certified engineer, I'll be upfront. I know my limits and won't bodge something that needs proper expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions about Appliance repairs basic in Exmouth
What kind of repairs can you do?
Basic mechanical stuff - doors not closing, hoses leaking, filters blocked, simple part replacement. I'm a handyman not an appliance engineer, so I'll be honest if it needs a specialist. But loads of 'broken' appliances just need simple fixes.
What appliances do you work on?
Washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers, ovens - common household stuff. Simple problems like blocked pumps, loose connections, worn door seals. If it's complex electronics or needs specialist parts, I'll tell you to call a proper appliance engineer.
How do you know if it's worth fixing?
Age and cost of repair versus replacement. If your 3-year-old washer needs a £30 part, definitely worth it. If your 15-year-old machine needs expensive parts, probably not. I'll give you honest advice either way - no point wasting your money.
Do you carry spare parts?
Basic stuff like hoses and simple fixings, yes. Specific parts for your model, probably not - there are thousands of variants. But I can usually get common parts same-day from suppliers, or order in if it's worth waiting for.
What if you can't fix it?
I'll only charge you the callout if I can't help. And I'll tell you honestly whether to call a specialist engineer or just buy a new one. No point me pretending I can fix everything when I can't.
