A Plumber is essential to so many aspects of your home. Plumbing systems allow us to control and direct water. Plumbers install and repair water, gas, and other piping systems in homes, businesses, and factories. They install plumbing fixtures, such as bathtubs and toilets, and appliances, such as dishwashers and water heaters. They clean drains, remove obstructions, and repair or replace broken pipes and fixtures.
But how much does a plumber cost in Sydney?
Here is a breakdown of Plumbing prices according to hipages.com.au. Keep in mind the prices may vary depending on the area you live in.
$60 to $140 to fix a dripping tap or leaking toilet
$80 to $250 to replace and fit bath or basin taps or a new shower head
$160 to $550 to install a toilet, basin, sink or bath
$1,200 to $4,500 for hot water service replacement
$3,500 to $12,000 to install a solar hot water system, depending on the size and complexity of the system

$6,000 to $12,000 for re-plumbing an entire house, depending on the complexity of the piping and features required
These are approximate prices only and may not include the call out rates. Plumbers usually charge a call-out fee, which is what you pay to have them visit your property. After that, they are likely to charge by the hour (use above rates as a guidance) until the job is done.
A call-out fee can cost anything from $60 to $100, with hourly rates anywhere from $100 - $150 depending on the plumber and location of the area needing service.
Plumbers may also offer a 24-hour emergency plumbing service due to the fact that most plumbing problems occur outside the 9 - 5 window! The cost of this varies and usually comes with extra costs.
