What moves the price
- Gas or electric — gas cooker repairs need a Gas Safe registered engineer, and their rates run higher
- The part — an oven element or bulb is cheap, while a control board or fan motor costs most
- Range cookers — large range ovens with several cavities take longer to strip and repair
- Built-in or freestanding — a built-in oven has to be pulled out of its housing before work starts
- Fault-finding fee — engineers often charge for diagnosis, usually waived if the repair goes ahead
- Location — oven repair engineers in London and the South East charge above the UK average
Home repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical oven & cooker repair would have cost about £125 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Check the oven clock is not in a locked or timer mode before booking a cooker repair
- Ask whether the oven diagnostic fee is deducted from the repair when you go ahead
- On an old cooker needing a control board, compare the repair cost with a new oven
Before you book
- Confirm any engineer working on a gas cooker or hob is on the Gas Safe Register and check their card
- Find the oven's model number, usually on the door frame, before you book the repair
- Let the oven cool fully and clear the hob and drawer before the engineer arrives
- If you smell gas, turn off the supply and call the national gas emergency number first
Oven & Cooker Repair cost: questions people ask
£70–£300, around £120 on average. A new element or bulb is the cheapest fix; a control board on a range cooker in London is the dearest.
Most take one to three hours. Built-in ovens and range cookers take longer to get at.
Only an engineer on the Gas Safe Register may work on a gas cooker or hob by law. Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card, which lists the appliance types they are qualified for.
For a cheap part, yes. For a control board on a cooker more than eight years old, a new oven is often better value.
A replacement cooker, a new cooker circuit or moving the gas supply are priced on their own.
