Appliance Repair Service Call & Diagnostic Fee in Ireland (2026)
Most Irish repair companies charge a call-out / diagnostic fee of €49–€103, often credited toward the repair if you go ahead. Every figure is an Estimated or observed published fee — never a fake precise number. Reviewed July 2026.
What is the typical fee?
The national range is €49–€103. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. VAT on repair labour is Ireland's reduced 13.5% rate (a parts-heavy job can flip to 23% under the two-thirds rule), and many sole-trader repairers fall under the €42,500 services threshold and add none — treat 13.5% as the normal effect and 23% as the parts-heavy ceiling.
