How do I report my faulty appliance?

How long do I have to wait for an engineer?

Do you offer a guarantee on your repairs?
Yes. We offer a 60-day guarantee on all repairs.
What happens if the engineer can’t fix my machine?
If the engineer decides that your appliance cannot be repaired, then we will replace it with one of the same or similar specification, as stated in your plan terms and conditions.

Alternatively, if you would like to upgrade your current model for one with enhanced specifications, then this may be possible for an additional fee. For example, you may like to upgrade your TV to a larger or smarter model. This is subject to availability from our suppliers.

We can offer delivery, installation and disposal of most products. These can be offered at an agreed additional cost.
