Are Range Cooker Repairs Worth It?
Range cookers are a significant investment — most cost between £800 and £5,000 new, with premium brands such as AGA, Rangemaster, Falcon, and Lacanche sitting at the higher end. Given this, almost every fault is worth repairing. Even a £250 repair on a £2,000 range cooker is excellent value compared to replacement.
Range cookers are also built more robustly than standard slot-in cookers, with heavier components and higher quality materials. This means they respond well to repair and often last 15 to 25 years with proper maintenance.
Typical Range Cooker Repair Costs
| Fault type | Typical cost (parts & labour) |
|---|---|
| Oven element replacement | £90 – £180 |
| Thermostat replacement | £100 – £200 |
| Gas burner / ignition repair | £80 – £160 |
| Gas valve replacement | £120 – £220 |
| Door seal replacement | £80 – £160 |
| Control board / PCB | £150 – £350 |
| Fan motor replacement | £100 – £180 |
| Diagnostic visit only | £60 – £100 |
Range cooker repairs tend to cost slightly more than standard oven repairs because the appliances are larger, heavier to work on, and parts for premium brands can be more expensive to source.
Gas Range Cooker Repairs
Any gas components on a range cooker must be repaired by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This covers gas burners, gas valves, gas thermostats, and connections. When booking, confirm your engineer holds a valid Gas Safe registration — you can verify this at the Gas Safe Register website.
Dual Fuel Range Cookers
Dual fuel range cookers (gas hob, electric oven) require an engineer qualified for both gas and electrical work. Most appliance repair engineers cover both, but confirm this when booking if your range cooker is dual fuel.
AGA and Rayburn Repairs
AGA and Rayburn range cookers are specialist appliances and require engineers who are specifically trained on these models. Standard appliance engineers may not be able to work on them. When requesting quotes, specify the brand and model so we can match you with appropriately qualified engineers.
