The '''repairman''' is an [[NPC]] that will repair broken objects and unclog the toilet. He/She visits only once when called from the ''Service'' menu on the [[telephone|phone]] and leaves once everything is fixed. In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', he/she will also leave if he/she is unable to reach the broken object.
<blockquote class=note>In the console version of ''The Sims 2 Pets'', the repairman is renamed as ''Repair Woman'' (
'''The repairman fixes''':
*Plumbing: such as clogged [[toilet]]s, leaking [[shower]]s, [[bathtub]]s, sinks, and [[Sprinkler (gardening)|garden sprinklers]], and broken [[hot tub]]s.
*Appliances: such as [[dishwasher]]s, [[trash compactor]]s, [[toaster oven]]s, and [[Microwave oven|microwaves]].
*Electronics: including [[computer]]s, [[television]] sets and [[stereo]]s, [[Robotics|robots]], and [[Servo]]s
In ''The Sims'', the repairman will also change burned-out [[Lights|light bulbs]]. In ''The Sims 2'', the repairman will also tune [[piano]]s.
<blockquote class=note>Sometimes the repairman will not have ANY mechanical skill.</blockquote>

==The Sims==
In ''The Sims'', the repairman is an NPC named [[Repairman Bruno]]. He can be called at any time by using the "Services..." menu on a [[telephone|phone]], and selecting "Repairman". He charges §50 per hour, and will come whenever he is called.
In addition to fixing plumbing, electronics, and appliances, he will also change burned-out [[Lights|light bulbs]].
==The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories==
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', repair service costs §50 per hour, plus a base fee of §10. While a repairman can be called at any time by using the ''Call...'' option on a [[telephone|phone]] and selecting ''Service'', repair service is not available around the clock, as it is in other games. Instead, a repairman will work between 09:00 and 17:00 (5:00 pm).
For same-day service, it's best to call before 13:00 (1:00 pm). After that, the later the call, the more likely it is that the repairman won't come until the next morning, even if called before 17:00 (5:00 pm).
In addition to fixing plumbing, electronics, and appliances, a repairman will also tune [[Piano#The Sims 2|pianos]].
Each neighborhood, except for the [[Tutorial]] neighborhood, has three pre-made repairmen, who may be male or female. In most neighborhoods, the mix is two males and one female, but [[Desiderata Valley]] has two females and one male, and all pre-made repairmen in [[Belladonna Cove]] are male.
==The Sims 3==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', clicking on a broken object gives the option to "Call Repairman." The repairman will charge §50/hour.
Each world, {{confirm|except for the vacation sub-worlds in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures|World Adventures]]''}}, has two pre-made repairmen, one male, one female.
The exceptions are in Moonlight Bay, where there are 4 repairmen, 2 male, 2 female, and Barnacle Bay, where there are two repairwomen.
==The Sims 4==
[[File:Repairman render TS4.png|thumb|A repairman in ''The Sims 4''.]]
Repairmen were not included in the initial release of ''[[The Sims 4]]'', but were re-added in [[The Sims 4/Patch 26|patch 26]]. They charge a base price of §100 for coming over, plus an additional §10/hour. As in ''The Sims 3'', clicking on a broken object gives the option to call a repairman.
==Player Tips==
*In ''The Sims: Bustin' Out'' (GBA) and ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'' (GBA and DS), Sims can get free repairs by leaving before the repairman finishes repairing the object.
*In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with little or no Mechanical skill can repair broken sinks, showers, and bathtubs, though it'll take longer. If a sink, shower, or tub breaks during the evening or at night, it'll get fixed sooner if the Sims do it themselves than if they wait for the repairman.
*In ''The Sims 2: University'', objects in a [[dormitory]] are immune to breakdowns and never need to be repaired.
*In ''The Sims 2: Open for Business'', the repairman will not turn off a broken [[Robotics|RoverBot or HoverBot]].
*In ''The Sims: Bustin' Out'', there has been known to be a problem with the 9 screen TV. The repairman will not leave unless the TV is off (the player may need to do turn it off repeatedly). It does not happen with other TVs.
