Baxi boiler repair & replacement
Duo-tec, 600 series and Platinum repairs and replacements.
Baxi boilers
Working on Baxi in the West Midlands
Baxi has been fitted in Midlands homes for decades, from old Bermuda back boilers behind the fireplace to modern Duo-tec and 800 series combis.
Modern Baxis are decent mid-range units with sensible parts pricing. The older Solo and Bermuda units we still find in Black Country houses are a different story — they're at the end of their life and cost a fortune to run.
We cover Halesowen, Dudley, Stourbridge, Birmingham, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Bromsgrove, Kidderminster and the wider West Midlands.
Ranges
Baxi models we see most
Duo-tec Combi
The mainstream combi. Reliable, parts easy to get, worth repairing.
600 / 800 series
Current ranges with longer guarantees and better controls.
Platinum / Megaflo compatible
Higher-output system boilers for larger homes and unvented cylinders.
Bermuda back boiler / Solo
Pre-2005 units behind fireplaces. Very inefficient — prime conversion candidates.
Common faults
What goes wrong with Baxi boilers
E133 — ignition failure
No flame established. Gas supply, electrodes or frozen condensate.
E119 — low system pressure
Below 0.5 bar. Refill via the filling loop; repeated loss means a leak or vessel fault.
E110 — overheat lockout
Boiler got too hot. Usually poor circulation from sludge, a stuck pump or a closed valve.
E168 — general fault
A catch-all code. Needs proper diagnosis rather than parts-swapping.
Noisy / kettling
Scale or sludge in the heat exchanger. Often fixed properly with a powerflush rather than a new part.

Repair or replace
Our honest view
Modern Duo-tec and 600/800 Baxis are worth repairing — parts are reasonable and readily available. Bermuda back boilers and Solo units should be converted to a modern combi; you're burning money running them.

Baxi questions we get asked
Do you still work on Baxi back boilers?
We service and repair them where parts are still available, but most Bermuda back boilers in the Black Country are now beyond economical repair. We convert a lot of them to combis — usually a two-day job.
How much is a Baxi repair?
Most Baxi repairs are £120–£350 inc VAT. The £99 diagnostic comes off the bill if we do the work.
Are Baxi boilers reliable?
The current Duo-tec and 800 series are solid mid-range boilers. They're not quite Worcester or Viessmann on build, but they're dependable and cheap to keep running.
