Why You’re Overpaying for Simple Home Fixes — And What to Do Instead
Most people are losing money, time, and peace of mind when hiring technicians. Here’s what’s broken — and how to fix it.
Ever called someone to fix your shower and ended up being charged double… only to realize they messed it up worse? Or had a “TV guy” mount your screen slightly tilted and then disappear when you call?
You’re not alone. Every week, hundreds of Kenyans pay more than they should for services that could be done faster, cleaner, and cheaper — if they had access to a better system.
📉 The Real Problem: No Pricing Transparency
Most informal technicians work on guesswork pricing. That means your cost depends on your house, your shoes, or how desperate you sound on the phone.
We’ve seen it firsthand: The same TV mounting service ranges from KES 1,800 in Embakasi to KES 4,500 in Westlands. That’s not just unfair — it’s unsustainable.
⚠️ Hidden Risks of “Cheap” Fixes
- 🔌 Faulty wiring that leads to tripping or sparks
- 📺 TVs falling due to poor brackets
- 🚿 Showers that short-circuit after a week
- 💸 Repeat repairs — doubling your costs
And guess what? Most of these could’ve been done professionally for less than what you ended up paying — if you had booked a TukoHub Technician.
