Hello everyone,
I slightly damaged the drawers on my IKEA Malm bed, which run on side-mounted rollers. Some rollers are broken, and others no longer run smoothly. Now I’m considering whether to repair it myself or hire a professional, especially since the drawers are quite heavy and the mechanism seems somewhat complex.
So, my question to the community is: What does it typically cost to have Malm drawers repaired by a professional when rollers or runners need to be replaced or adjusted?
I’m particularly interested in the general price range and whether flat rates are common or if the cost mainly depends on labor and materials. Just to clarify: This involves 2 drawers, each with 3 rollers and runners.
Thanks for your feedback!

Do you usually have to expect value-added tax when commissioning a repair privately? And what about warranty on the repair?Yes, professional tradespeople typically add value-added tax (currently usually 19%) to the invoice if they are entitled to deduct input tax. Private customers therefore pay the gross amount including VAT.
Warranty obligations generally apply to workmanship; this usually includes a minimum period of 1 year during which the service provider is liable for defects. However, details should be specified in the contract or quotation.
Regarding the price: if only rollers and tracks are replaced and no major repairs or adjustments are needed, the effort remains manageable, usually with at least 1 hour of labor billed.
