Highly recommend Shipways Effective Plumbing service! Dave and Rob were incredibly polite and professional. They cleared tree roots from our main line quickly that other services couldn’t manage. They were in and out of the house in under an hour, and left everything clean and tidy. Pricing was upfront and very affordable. Trustworthy and reliable, will definitely use them again!

David was exceptional today. He repaired urgent issues in a rental and liaised for us with the agent and landlord and had the large issue repaired all within 5 hours of being notified. Clear communication of arrival time, as well as explaining cause and repair plans for issues. Not only was David very polite and friendly, he and his coworker worked tidily and left no mess afterwards. 10/10 recommend and thank you David for doing such a great job

I cannot recommend David and his team highly enough. If you want the job done thoroughly and professionally Shipways is the way to go. They go over and above to deliver the most outstanding job. Then they cleaned up literally everything- nothing for me to do afterwards. Big thumbs up from me 😊

David was very helpful with my late night queries. He was very honest with his replies and was prompt in coming to assist with our plumbing issues the next day. The best part was they did a great job with fixing our blocked sewer for a fraction of the cost I paid someone else who did not do anything. And the quote I got for replacing the broken pipes is reasonable too. They live up to their name: EFFECTIVE!!!

I've used the services of Shipways Plumbing for years and I am very happy with the services they have provided. They recently fixed a drainage issue at the back & side of my house. It took the team all day to fix it as it was a big job. I was delighted with the end result. I'll continue to engage Shipways Plumbing because Dave & the team do quality work.

Frequently asked questions

How much do plumbers typically charge?

Plumbing costs vary significantly depending on the type of job and its complexity. Simple fixture repairs are generally much less than jobs involving pipe replacement, excavation or gas appliance work. Most quotes include a call-out fee, hourly labour and parts, with after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.

Do plumbers charge call-out fees?

Call-out fees are common and are often used to cover travel and the initial assessment. Plumbers typically add hourly labour and any materials or replacement parts to the call-out fee. After-hours, weekend or emergency attendances are usually charged at higher rates and some small jobs may have a minimum charge.

Do plumbers need a licence in Australia?

Yes. Plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW the regulator is NSW Fair Trading (Building Commission NSW). Plumbers will generally provide their licence number and should be able to supply compliance certificates for regulated work. Look for an ABN, public liability insurance and relevant industry memberships as additional trust signals.
