What changes the price?
The same symptom can have different causes
The customer complaint tells us where to start, but the final cost depends on the component that has actually failed.
Brand and model
Parts availability and component design affect labour and sourcing.
Domestic vs commercial
Display fridges and commercial units can require more time, access and components.
Urgency and access
Difficult access or urgent work can change the time required.
What you pay for
A proper diagnosis before parts are changed
A fridge that is warm does not automatically need gas or a compressor. We check airflow, fans, controls and the refrigeration system before recommending the repair.
- Fault assessment based on the actual symptom
- Explanation of the repair required
- Parts and labour requirements confirmed before the job proceeds
- Functional testing of the repaired system
- Clear advice when replacement may make more sense than a major repair
Our work
Repair work behind the price
Pricing depends on what we find inside the appliance or system. We work directly on the components, controls and cooling systems involved, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.
R
Repair or replace?
For an older fridge with repeated faults or a major compressor failure, compare the repair cost with the value and condition of the appliance.
Spend where it makes sense
Use the diagnosis to make the decision
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worthwhile. We look at the failed component, overall condition, parts availability and the likely result of the repair before you decide.

Fridge Repair pricing FAQs
Answers for customers comparing repair costs before booking.
How much does fridge repair cost in Durban?
Most jobs range from about R450 for minor work to R4,500+ for major compressor or sealed-system repairs. The exact price is confirmed after diagnosis.
Do you charge before the repair?
The diagnosis and quote come before repair work proceeds. Ask when booking if you need the current call-out arrangement for your area.
Is regassing always the cheapest fix?
No. If the problem is a fan, thermostat, control or compressor fault, adding refrigerant will not solve the underlying issue.
