The Problem

Why WordPress fix pricing is so confusing

  • Freelancers quoting £50–£150/hour with no cap on total cost.

  • Agencies requiring £500+ minimum project fees for small bugs.

  • Offshore services at £20/fix with no accountability or chat.

  • DIY attempts that make the problem worse and cost more to undo.

  • Emergency call-out fees of £200+ on top of hourly rates.

The Answer

How much does it cost to fix a WordPress website with BugShield?

If you are asking how much does it cost to fix a WordPress website, BugShield publishes fixed prices because you should know what you are paying before work starts. Broken layouts, plugin conflicts, checkout issues, and white screens are £49.99. Malware removal and spam redirects are £99.99.

If your site needs regular fixes, Shield Light (£99/month, two fixes included) or Shield Pro (£199/month, unlimited fixes) usually work out cheaper than paying per incident.

Typical WordPress fix costs in the UK

There is no single answer because pricing models differ. Hourly freelancers charge £50 to £150 per hour with no guarantee how long the fix takes. Agencies quote project minimums of £500 or more. Offshore services offer low prices but limited accountability.

BugShield publishes fixed prices: £49.99 for common bugs, £99.99 for malware and security issues. You see the exact cost before committing.

  • Layout, plugin, checkout, white screen, 500 error: £49.99
  • Malware removal and hacked site cleanup: £99.99
  • Shield Light maintenance (2 fixes/month): £99/month
  • Shield Pro maintenance (unlimited fixes): £199/month

Why fixed pricing is better than hourly

Hourly billing creates uncertainty. A simple-looking bug can take three hours or six, and you only know the final bill when work is finished.

Fixed pricing means the developer absorbs the risk of underestimating. You pay the quoted amount for that specific issue, regardless of how long it takes.
