Pricing
How pricing works for domestic staff and home repair services through RX Direct.
There's no fixed price list, because a live-in cook in a large household and a part-time cleaner for a small apartment simply cost different amounts. Instead, we quote based on your specific requirements after a short WhatsApp conversation, so you always know the exact cost before you commit to anything.
What Affects the Price
- Staff category, a specialist like a nurse or professional chef is priced differently than a general helper
- Full-time, part-time or live-in arrangement
- Experience level and specific skill requirements
- City and how in-demand that role currently is in your area

Pricing Across Our Service Categories
Household staff (cooks, chefs, maids, helpers, cleaners, nannies, gardeners) are typically priced by whether the role is live-in, live-out or part-time. Office and security staff (drivers, guards, office boys) are usually quoted per month, with adjustments for extra duties like overtime driving. Nursing and care staff (home nurses, caretakers) are priced by shift length and the level of medical or personal care involved. Home repair and trade staff (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters) can be booked per visit for a single repair or on a recurring maintenance basis, whichever suits your situation better.
