What is the most common plumbing repair?
Leaks and blockages are among the most common plumbing problems.
I regularly deal with leaking taps, toilets, showers, wastes, traps and pipework, along with blocked toilets, sinks and showers.
How much does a plumbing repair cost?
There isn't one fixed price because every repair is different.
My standard daytime labour rate is typically £75 per hour, plus parts.
The final price depends on the time required, parts needed, accessibility and the complexity of the repair.
How much does it cost to replace a tap?
A straightforward tap replacement will usually involve labour plus the cost of the new tap and any additional fittings required.
As a guide, labour starts from around £75, with the tap and parts charged separately.
If you send photographs of the existing tap and plumbing, I may be able to identify what is required before visiting.
How much does it cost to repair a leaking toilet?
A toilet leak can be caused by a number of different faults.
A straightforward repair may start from around £75 labour plus parts.
If the toilet, cistern or associated pipework needs replacing, the total cost will depend on the parts and time involved.
How much does it cost to unblock a toilet?
A straightforward blockage may be relatively quick to clear.
As a rough guide, allow around £95–£190 for a normal daytime job, depending on the time required and whether anything else needs attention.
Emergency and out-of-hours work may cost more.
Can you repair rather than replace plumbing?
Where practical, yes.
I don't believe in replacing something simply because it can be replaced.
If a component can be repaired or replaced individually and doing so is sensible, I'll explain that option.
If replacement is the better long-term solution, I'll explain why.

Yes.
