Everything you need to know about Zest Care, membership, pricing, and how we work.
- How does Zest Care work?
-
Zest Care is a fixed-price membership that covers repairs and replacements for your home appliances. Tell us what you have, we give you a fixed price, and you’re covered from day one. Cancel anytime.
- What appliances are covered?
-
We cover washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, ovens, hobs, cookers, tumble dryers, washer-dryers, microwaves, and more. Check our full list during signup to see if your appliances qualify.
- How long does it take to get a quote?
-
Less than two minutes. Just tell us your appliances and their age, and we’ll give you a fixed price instantly.
- Is the price really fixed?
-
Yes. Your price is fixed for 24 months from the day you join, regardless of how many repairs you need. No hidden fees or price increases during that period.
- What does my membership cover?
-
Your membership covers unlimited repairs, parts, and labour. If an appliance can’t be repaired, we’ll replace it with a new one at no extra cost. Emergency callouts are covered within 24 hours.
- How do I contact?
-
Call us or use the Zest app to report a fault. We’ll arrange a repair visit within 24 hours. No paperwork, no claiming back — it’s all included in your membership.
- What if something is already broken?
-
If an appliance is already faulty when you join, we can still help. We’ll arrange a repair first, then your care can begin once it’s working normally again.
- Are there any exclusions?
-
We exclude cosmetic damage, maintenance, and appliances over 20 years old. Very old appliances may affect eligibility — we’ll confirm during your health check.
- Why does the price change based on the number of appliances?
-
Our pricing reflects the cost to service and support more appliances. The first three appliances are included in your base price (£27/month), then each additional appliance is £7/month.
- Can I pay annually?
-
Yes. Annual plans save you a month’s worth of payments. Pay upfront and enjoy the discount.
- What payment methods do you accept?
-
We accept Direct Debit and credit/debit cards (Visa/Mastercard).
- Can I cancel anytime?
-
Yes. No exit fees, no long-term contracts. Cancel whenever you want, and your membership ends at the end of the current billing period.
- How quickly will an engineer visit?
-
Most repairs are arranged within 24 hours. Emergency callouts are prioritised, and we work with local engineers to minimise waiting times.
- What if my appliance can’t be repaired?
-
We’ll replace it with a new one at no extra cost. It’s part of your membership.
- Can I add or remove appliances later?
-
Yes. You can update your appliances anytime. Your price will adjust based on the new number of items covered.
- What happens during my annual check-in?
-
We review your appliances, check for any emerging issues, and perform preventative maintenance. This keeps everything running smoothly and saves you money in the long run.
- Is my data safe?
-
Yes. We use industry-standard encryption and comply with UK data protection laws. Your information is never shared with third parties without consent.
- How do you manage my Direct Debit?
-
Direct Debit payments are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. If there’s an error, you’ll be refunded immediately by your bank.
- What are the Trustpilot reviews saying?
