Small jobs — a leaking tap, a faulty switch, a door that won't close — often come with visit charges and parts that cost more than the work. GenuineRate checks each line against market rates for your city.
Every line is compared with brand price lists and researched rates for your city. You get what's overpriced, what's missing, questions to ask, and a polite message to send.
Common overcharges
Parts above MRP
Taps, switches and fittings have a printed MRP and usually sell below it. Ask for the brand and check it.
A day rate for an hour's work
A short fix shouldn't be billed as a full day. Agree the charge before the work starts.
Visit charge counted twice
If the technician comes back to finish the job, check you're not paying a second visit charge.
Vague “material” lines
Ask for each part with its quantity — “material” as a lump sum is impossible to check.
Frequently asked questions
What do electricians and plumbers charge per day?
An electrician typically charges ₹800–₹1,200 per day and a plumber ₹800–₹1,200 per day for a full day.
What's a fair visit charge?
A visit or inspection charge is typically ₹199–₹400 per visit, and many services adjust it against the repair.
Should I pay per job or per day?
For small fixes, agree a per-job price up front. Day rates suit bigger jobs where the work is hard to estimate.
