The 5 best washing machine repair services in Edinburgh save laundry days!
When your washer packs in mid-week, it’s no small headache. I’ve been there, helplessly staring at a pile of damp clothes in the middle of the night.
Thankfully, there are washing machine repair services in Edinburgh who can sort it all without a fuss. So if you’ve got drainage issues or a machine that just won’t spin, rest assured, these techs know their way around a drum.
How much does washing machine repair cost in Edinburgh?
Washing machine repair typically costs between £80 and £150 for common fixes, such as pump or seal replacements, while major jobs, like motor or drum repairs, can reach over £300. Call-out and labour fees average around £125, though some providers start from £53 to £70 before parts.
1. Lothian Domestics Ltd
Services: Diagnostics and labour, parts and replacement, emergency repairs

I had Lothian Domestics over when my Samsung washer gave up mid-cycle, and the diagnostics were fast and spot-on. The flat-rate labour meant there were no surprise costs when they swapped out my faulty pump.
They cover big names like Bosch, Hotpoint, LG, and Miele, but being the only Samsung Authorised Service Centre in the area sealed the deal for me. It’s nice to know my machine is getting genuine parts and warranty-safe repairs.
Pricing sat at around £125 including labour and call-out, which felt fair for the same-day response. The engineer showed up on time, toolkit ready, and got it spinning again within the hour.
I like that Lothian Domestics can also handle emergency jobs and carry common parts on the van, so most fixes are sorted on the first visit. For more obscure bits, they’ll source and return without adding extra labour fees.
The downside? They don’t touch many cooling appliances unless it’s Samsung or Smeg, which could’ve made them my one-stop appliance repair. Plus, their authorised style sometimes feels rigid, with no wiggle room on pricing or creative fixes.
Highly recommend his services
Excellent service. I received a text and an auto call from Lothian Domestic 20 minutes before arrival time. Ross arrived exactly when he said he would. He was very polite and courteous, asked a few questions about the issue and knew what the problem was and how to fix it. Luckily, he had the spare part in his van and replaced it. Ross was quick, efficient and respectful. Highly recommend his services.

Very quick on the diagnosis and solution
Easy to make an appointment, great availability, and I got messages to confirm the appointment and to let me know when the engineer was on route to my house. This is the second time my appliance had the same issue; the first time was repaired by another company, which was more expensive and took a lot longer to diagnose and fix. Paul, this time, was very quick on the diagnosis and solution. I was impressed by how quick it all was! Definitely recommend.

2. White Eagle Repair LTD
Services: Full-service diagnostics, repairs
Location: 4 Redgauntlet Terrace
Contact: +441312100100
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
A couple of months ago, I heard my next-door neighbour’s washing machine grind to a halt in the wee hours. Thankfully, White Eagle Repair had it spinning again by mid-morning, so she had a uniform to wear for her night shift.
When I asked her about the service, she said the 2-hour slot meant she wasn’t trapped indoors waiting all afternoon. The team didn’t tack on a call-out fee, either; she paid just the flat £80 plus parts.
Her machine’s a mid-range Bosch, though White Eagle told her they’ll pretty much cover any brand, old or new. She also got a 6-month labour guarantee and 12 months parts cover, which is quite reassuring.
It was the response time that impressed my neighbour most. They even texted her a reminder before heading out, with the engineer explaining the procedure to her in plain, clear terms.
The only problem we see is that they can’t work miracles if your machine needs discontinued parts. And if you’ve got a gas-connected washer-dryer, it’s not in their remit.
The repairs were completed quickly and efficiently
I’ve used this service twice this week-once for a washing machine repair and once for an oven-and I couldn’t be more impressed. Both times, the repairs were completed quickly and efficiently, with exceptional customer service throughout. The technicians were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable. What really stood out was the thoughtful follow-up message a few days after the washing machine repair, checking to see how everything was working. That level of care is truly amazing and rare to find these days. I will definitely be calling them again if anything else breaks in the house. Thank you so much for such a reliable and outstanding service!

Fixing my washing machine was done very quickly
Cannot recommend them enough. Great, clear communication, excellent service, professionalism. Fixing my washing machine was done very quickly and to my best expectations. Special thanks to Kamil, who was not only kind, enthusiastic and very helpful, but also knowledgeable and friendly yet professional, a combination which many fail to achieve. I’d hire them in the future by all means.

My mum refuses to update her old washer, so of course, it occasionally gives up mid-spin. Thankfully, Appliance Doctor had a chap round the same day to address the latest issue, who diagnosed the fault in minutes and fixed it before her kettle boiled.
The company handles all sorts: washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, and even built-in models. Brands aren’t an issue, which is a relief for my mum, whose appliances span various makes and years of service.
She was glad for the free estimate upfront, with no daft hidden charges and overall fair pricing. Even better, she got an OAP on her bill, which kept her smiling.
The work came with a proper guarantee, so she’s covered if anything acts up again. Moreover, the quick response times mean she’s not likely to be without fresh laundry for long.
The only con we can see with this company? They don’t touch gas appliances, so don’t bother calling if that’s your issue. Good thing Mum decided to switch to electrical versions long ago, so this doesn’t affect her.
He helped us over the phone without charging us
Great help and so kind! He helped us over the phone without charging us – wonderfully kind and full of helpful info – saving us a call out and unnecessary expense! Thank you so much.

I found the service to be very professional and efficient
Just had my washing machine repaired by Appliance Doctor. I found the service to be very professional and efficient. Colin came to look at the washing machine promptly and gave an immediate quote. He completed the work to a high standard and advised on ‘settings’ to improve the machine’s efficiency. All in all, I am really pleased with the work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his service to family and friends.

4. City Domestics
Services: Commercial and domestic electric appliance repairs
Location: 90 Milton Road
Contact: +441316574614
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9.30 AM–5 PM
Our former leasehold flat’s landlord called City Domestics when the building’s communal washer packed it in. The team came out sharpish, ran diagnostics, and had a replacement part in before the week was out (saving us tenants from musty clothes).
The company handles all the usual white goods, including washers, dryers, cookers, and dishwashers…the brand didn’t matter. The engineer said they’re used to dealing with a mix of makes in older flats.
The pricing was fair, not flashy, which pleased our landlord. He was chuffed that it was sorted out without breaking the maintenance budget, as there were no hidden fees tacked on to the bill.
The team’s response time was impressive, too. Aside from the quick visit, there’s a warranty covering the job if the same fault crops up again.
However, City Domestics is a small outfit, so if you ring at peak times (summertime seems to be a favourite season for washers to break down), you might wait longer than you’d like. There are no emergency repair services outside of business hours, either.
Was able to fix on the spot!
The engineer was able to come at pretty short notice, despite being busy. Checked over my machine carefully and diagnosed the problem quickly, which he was able to fix on the spot! He was really knowledgeable about the machine and full of great advice about how to maintain it. Would definitely recommend!

I emailed on Sunday and had my machine fixed by Tuesday
Brilliant service – I emailed on Sunday and had my machine fixed by Tuesday afternoon. Bang on time as well, which I really appreciated! Would definitely use again (but really hoping I don’t banjax the washing machine again!).

My daft wee brother rang Advanced Domestics when his washer stopped mid-cycle and he had no clue what to do. Good thing he did, because they sent someone out quickly, ran diagnostics, and swapped the pump without fuss.
They deal with all the usual suspects: washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, so the brand wasn’t a bother. The engineer even explained the repair process in plain English so my brother could keep up.
Thank goodness pricing was decent and suited his university budget, with repairs starting from just £30, and a free estimate before the work began. He was so relieved there were no sneaky extras once the job was done.
Additionally, the guarantee on both labour and parts gave him peace of mind. The only downside is that they’re a small, family-run outfit, so availability can be tight at peak times.
No fuss, clear communication
John has been an absolute star! No fuss, clear communication, and sorted the presenting issue quickly! I would highly recommend his service.

John is reliable, competent and friendly
John is reliable, competent and friendly. During the last few years, he’s attended to my washing machine twice, and he also installed my dishwasher. He also gave me good advice when I thought there was a problem with my fridge. He is the first person I reach out to when I need help with my domestic appliances. Top man!
