I added a result type to my root site collection. However when I add a Content Search Results web part to a page in my subsite it doesn't use the result type. I have to add the result type again to the subsite. This seems like unnecessary duplication.

Make sure you are creating Result type in the site collection level.
If you want to create a result type for a site collection:
- Ensure that you are an administrator for the site collection.
- In the site collection, go to Settings > Site settings, and then in the Site Collection Administration section, click Search Result Types.

I've added it to the site collection level. On the Manage Result Types page I can see my custom result type under the heading 'Defined for this site'.– mattNov 10, 2014 at 17:26
