Funny Names Customers Save Us As – Domestic Appliance Repair Ltd
We’ve been repairing washing machines, tumble dryers, and cookers in Weymouth, Dorchester, and beyond for years. But despite all that time spent fixing appliances, one thing never changes—nobody seems to remember our actual name! Instead, we get saved under all sorts of names in people’s phones.
Now, we’re not offended. In fact, we think it’s quite funny! So, here’s a look at some of the most common (and bizarre) names we’ve been given over the years. If you recognise one, chances are you’ve got our number saved under something equally creative!
A Brief History of Domestic Appliance Repair Ltd
Before we dive into the names, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane.
Simon has been fixing washing machines since 1995, starting his career in Bridport working for Peach Electrical. After years of perfecting his skills (and probably being called the wrong name by customers), he moved to Weymouth and founded Domestic Appliance Repair Ltd in 2012. The business became an officially registered limited company in 2015, and since then, we’ve been keeping households running smoothly—whatever name we go by!
What Are We Saved As in Your Phone?
Here are some of the most common (and funniest) names we’ve heard over the years:
- “The Washing Machine Man” – Classic, simple, and straight to the point.
- “The Cooker Man” – For those who only call when the oven stops working.
- “The Tumble Dryer Guy” – Another variation, because apparently “Simon” is too complicated.
- “Washing Machine Steve” – Look, we don’t know who Steve is either, but it’s happened more than once.
- “Oven Fixer Bloke” – Well, they’re not wrong!
- “Appliance Wizard” – We like this one. Maybe we should put it on the van?
- “That Guy Who Fixed Mum’s Washer” – We’re always happy to help Mum, but good luck explaining that one to your siblings.
- “Fix-It Man” – Vague but effective.
- “Washing Machine Whisperer” – We’ll take the compliment!
- “Mr. Spin Cycle” – We assume this was meant for the washing machine, not us personally.
Why Do People Struggle to Remember Our Name?
We get it—when your washing machine is leaking or your oven won’t heat up, you’re probably not thinking about the name of the business. You just want it fixed as soon as possible. And that’s why we end up saved under something like “washing machine emergency” or “that bloke with the spanners.”
But let’s be honest, it also doesn’t help that our actual company name—Domestic Appliance Repair Ltd—is a bit of a mouthful when you’re in a hurry.
What Should You Actually Save Us As?
While we’re happy to answer to just about anything (except maybe “Steve”), it might make your life easier if you saved us properly in your phone. So, here’s what you need to do:

That way, the next time your tumble dryer refuses to dry or your washing machine sounds like it’s about to take off, you won’t have to scroll through your contacts thinking, “What on earth did I save them as?”
