Cost

What plumbing costs

Every job is different, so we price it after we've seen it. Here's how that works and what changes the price.

The rule

You agree the price before work starts

No work begins until you've said yes. If we find something that changes the price, we stop and ask.

Small repairs

Taps, toilets, leaking joints, outside taps and similar jobs. We look, tell you the price, and can usually fix it there and then.

Bigger jobs

Bathrooms, showers, new pipework and radiators get a written quote listing what's included, so you can compare like for like.

Emergencies

When you call with an emergency, we explain how the call-out is charged before we set off.

Two jobs that sound the same can be quite different once we see them. These are the things that make the biggest difference.

✓ Access. A pipe under a floor or behind tiles takes longer to reach.

✓ The age of the pipework. Older systems can need extra parts to connect to.

✓ Parts and fittings. A basic tap and a designer mixer are priced very differently.

✓ How much needs moving. Keeping a bathroom layout costs less than changing it.

✓ Timing. Out-of-hours and emergency work costs more than a booked visit.

Saving money

✓ Get small leaks fixed early, before they damage floors and ceilings.

✓ Group jobs into one visit. A dripping tap and a running toilet cost less together.

✓ Send a photo first so we bring the right parts.

✓ Ask us whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Can you give me a price over the phone?

For simple jobs we can often give you a rough idea. A firm price comes once we've seen it.

Who pays if I rent?

Usually your landlord. We can send the quote and invoice to them or their agent.

Will my insurance cover a leak?

That depends on your policy. We can give you a written description of what we found and fixed to send to your insurer.
