Simply outstanding!!!! WOW!!!!!! There are not enough exclamation marks to indicate how awesome James at the Plumbing Lifesaver is! I live in WA but am managing a property in Anna Bay. I Googled plumbers in the Nelson Bay area and called James to see if he could fix some taps. He was so friendly and responsive and nothing was too much trouble. He was about to drive past the property so went in, assessed the problem, had the necessary parts in his truck and fixed it on the spot! Less than 45 mins from when I first called him, the job was done (at a great price) and I’d paid the invoice via smart phone! I’m still blown away by this incredible service! I wish we had The Plumbing Lifesaver here in WA!! The story of your legendary service is currently doing the rounds of my town in WA! Well done!!!

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.
