Worcester Bosch is a boiler brand that manufactures three types of boiler: combination (combi) boilers, system boilers and regular boilers. If you’ve been having trouble with your Worcester Bosch boiler, you’re probably wondering how much it will cost to repair it.
Worcester Bosch boiler repair cost
Boiler repair costs average out at around £300. However, your Worcester Bosch repair cost will vary based on a number of factors, such as:
Whether you have a combi, system or regular boiler
What the fault is
Whether it’s an emergency repair
If your boiler breaks down in the heart of winter and you’re left without hot water or heating, you might be able to get a boiler repair company to come out quickly to assist you. This is because having no heating is classed as an emergency. The average emergency boiler repair cost is £410, although you may also have to pay another £100 to £500 for parts.
Worcester Bosch boiler repairs fixed price
If you’re hoping to get your Worcester Bosch boiler repaired for a fixed price, you’ll need to obtain boiler insurance.
Boiler insurance is where you pay a regular fixed fee (usually every month). In return, your boiler is covered so that if it breaks, you’ll be able to get repairs for either a fixed cost or without paying at all. It’s a great way of avoiding unexpected bills and spreading boiler repair costs out over the life of the boiler.
The average boiler insurance cost is £11.75 per month.
Without boiler insurance, you can’t really get a Worcester Bosch fixed-price repair cost, as the cost of your repair will depend on your boiler’s fault. However, many boiler companies charge a set hourly fee, and some also charge a set callout fee, so make sure to find this out before hiring someone.
The average hourly rate for a gas engineer is £50 to £60 (plus repairs and parts).
Worcester Bosch one-off repair cost
The cost of a one-off repair on your Worcester Bosch boiler will depend on what’s wrong with it. Some boiler parts that commonly need to be repaired or replaced include:
Fan
Gas valve
Heat exchanger
Flue
Printed circuit board
The typical cost to replace a gas valve is somewhere between £180 and £220 for labour and materials. Meanwhile, you’re looking at a cost of around £300 for a boiler that’s kettling (that’s when it makes a strange mix of sounds, including whistling, rumbling and gurgling).
If worst comes to worst and you end up having to replace your boiler, the cost will depend on whether you choose to replace like-for-like or switch to a different kind of boiler altogether. The average cost of switching a combi boiler for another combi boiler is between £1,400 and £2,000. Our guide to new boiler costs has more information.
