It&#8217;s a question we are asked a lot &#8220;how much is a plumber?&#8221;. It\u2019s always good to have an idea of how much a plumbing project is likely to cost, especially as plumbing is often an extra cost on top of kitchen or bathroom projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/400x400-plumbing.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8114 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/400;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/400x400-plumbing.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/400x400-plumbing-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/400x400-plumbing-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research thoroughly<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you do your research into the plumbing projects that you need. There\u2019s a range of different plumbing jobs that may be required. You don\u2019t want to shell out for an expensive bath or sink and not account for the cost of installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set a budget<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think carefully about what you can afford for your plumbing project. It\u2019s good to have a budget and stick to it. By doing this, you\u2019ll get the most you can for your money, and avoid overspending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plumbing Costs in 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plumbing prices can vary depending on the area you\u2019re in, and the type of work that you need doing. We\u2019ve compiled a list of common plumbing jobs and the average prices for each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Plumbing job<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Plumbing Cost in 2026<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fit new toilet<\/td><td>\u00a3110-\u00a3160<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fit new bath<\/td><td>\u00a3150-\u00a3250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Replace kitchen mixer tap<\/td><td>\u00a380-\u00a3150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fix leaky kitchen mixer tap<\/td><td>\u00a350-\u00a370<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fix burst water pipe<\/td><td>\u00a3100-\u00a3150<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Unblock toilet<\/td><td>\u00a370-\u00a3100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Replace cold water tank<\/td><td>\u00a3250-\u00a3350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Replace hot water tank<\/td><td>\u00a3400-\u00a3600<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These prices should function as a fair guide for the prices that you should expect to pay for plumbing work. Bear in mind that emergency call-outs can be significantly more expensive and that other jobs like re-tiling around a new bath will add to the cost. You should always get a number of different quotes for a plumbing project and compare them. This will ensure that you get the best price for your job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re struggling to find trusted plumbers in your area, just fill out our quick form.
