Request a Quote: Durban Home Repairs

Request a quote for roof, ceiling, bathroom, tiling, geyser or leak work anywhere in the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality with the form below. Three details speed it up: the suburb, what you see (a stain, a drip, a meter that moves), and one or two photos.

Send what you can now; sizes and photos can follow before a site visit.

What to Include When You Request a Quote

• The suburb, for example Umhlanga, Westville, Pinetown, Chatsworth or Amanzimtoti.
• The part of the house: roof, flat roof, ceiling, bathroom, tiles, geyser or pipes.
• What you see and when: a stain after storms, a drip under the geyser, a meter reading that moves with taps closed.
• Rough sizes: the room in metres, the roof area or the number of rooms.
• Sectional title or freehold, since a body corporate may need to approve outside work.

How a Durban Home Repairs Quote Works

1. Ask the site visit to find the cause, not only the damage.
2. Ask the written quote to list each line: cause, material, quantity, access and exclusions.
3. Approve the written quote before work starts. Section 15 of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 applies above the prescribed threshold when the repair provider takes possession of the property, or otherwise when the consumer requests an estimate before supply. Section 15(2) then requires a compliant estimate followed by authorisation, a recorded decision declining the estimate and authorising the work, or a recorded maximum that the charge does not exceed.
4. Ask for plumbing that the eThekwini Water By-law, 2023 reserves for registered plumbers to be named on the quote with the person who signs it off.
5. New or reconditioned parts installed in a repair, and the labour to install them, carry three months' cover under section 57(1) of the same Act.

Guide figures for each service sit on its own page, starting from home renovations in Durban, and include roof repairs in Durban and bathroom renovations in Durban.
