Plumbing

What changes the price

• Type of fault and whether walls or floors must be opened
• Parts to replace (tap, trap, pipe, water heater)
• Urgency: nights, weekends and holidays cost more
• Travel, especially outside towns

How long it takes

A simple repair (tap, trap, toilet cistern) usually takes under an hour; hidden leaks can take half a day.

Before the professional arrives

• Close the main water valve if there is a leak
• Take photos of the problem for a more accurate quote
• Clear the space under the sink or in the bathroom
