[[File:Repairman.jpg|thumb|Repairman]]
The '''repairman''' is an [[NPC]] that will repair objects that are broken and unclog the toilet. He visits only once when called from the ''Service'' menu on the phone and leaves once everything is fixed. He will also leave if he is unable to reach the broken object.
 
Note:<blockquote class=note>In the console version of ''The Sims 2 Pets'', the repairman is renamed as ''Repair Woman'' (Console versions) and ''Repair Person'' (PSP Version). In the PC and Mac versions of ''The Sims 2'', there are three repairman NPCs, who may be male or female.

===The Repairman in various Sims games===
 
* The Sims and The Sims console: He will come at any time and fix any broken object.
*In ''[[The Sims]]'', 2:''[[The Sims (console)|The Sims]]'', and ''The Sims Bustin' Out'', the repairman will come at anytime. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', repair service is no longer available around the clock, though it can be called at any time. A repairman will work between 09:00 and 17:00 (5:00 pm). However, if you wantfor same-day service, it's best to call before 13:00 (1:00 pm). After that, the later youthe call, the more likely it is that the repairman won't come until the next morning, even if you callcalled before 17:00 (5:00 pm).▼
* The Sims: Bustin' Out: Same function as in The Sims. Note: There has been known to be a problem if you have the 9 screen TV. The repairman will not leave until you keep turning the TV off repeatedly,&nbsp;it does not happen with other&nbsp;TVs.▼
 
* The Sims: Bustin' out (GBA): He comes anytime and repairs any broken object. (There is a trick that you can get free repairs by leaving before the repairman finishes repairing the object, The same also applies in The Urbz: Sims in the City)▼
*In ''[[The Sims 3:]]'' You can clickclicking on a broken object and choosehas the option to "Call Repairman". It will cost §50 for the Repairman to fix the object.▼
* The Urbz: Sims in the City (GBA and DS): As in Bustin' Out, he comes anytime and repairs broken objects. (There is also a trick for free repairs, as there is in Bustin' Out.)
▲* The Sims 2: In The Sims 2, repair service is no longer available around the clock, though it can be called at any time. A repairman will work between 09:00 and 17:00 (5:00 pm). However, if you want same-day service, it's best to call before 13:00 (1:00 pm). After that, the later you call, the more likely it is that the repairman won't come until the next morning, even if you call before 17:00 (5:00 pm).
▲* The Sims 3: You can click on a broken object and choose the option "Call Repairman". It will cost §50 for the Repairman to fix the object.

* Sometimes it's better for your Sim to do the work, because sometimes the repairman will not have ANY mechanical skill.
 
* In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with little or no Mechanical skill can repair broken sinks, showers, and bathtubs. It'llwithout take[[electrocution|consequence]] longer,though and they may need to make more than one attempt, but theyit'll eventuallytake get it donelonger. 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.▼
