How It Works

Fixed pricing, not hourly rates

A lot of plumbers quote by the hour. It sounds straightforward, but in practice it rarely is. Hourly rates don’t account for the full cost of delivering a quality service — things like insurance, vehicle running costs, licensing, and our admin, who keep everything running smoothly.

At Hello Plumbing, we use a margin-based pricing system. Before any work begins, we assess the job, present you with a fixed price, and don’t start until you’re comfortable and have approved the scope.

That approach only works if we price honestly. Below is exactly how a typical job is costed: what goes to labour and materials, what covers our overheads, and what a healthy business needs to keep showing up for you in the long term.

How a Typical Job Is Costed

For every dollar you invest in a Hello Plumbing job, here’s how it’s allocated: from labour and materials through to the overheads that keep a reliable, insured, and well-equipped team on the road.

Cost Category	Share	What it covers
Wages & Labour	38%	Paying our licensed plumbers fairly
Insurance	16%	Public liability, workers comp & vehicle cover
Vehicles & Fuel	13%	Fleet maintenance, registration, fuel
Materials & Parts	11%	Stock, fittings, consumables on the van
Tools & Equipment	9%	Specialised plumbing, gas & drain equipment
Administration & Software	6%	Scheduling, invoicing, bookkeeping, IT
Licensing & Compliance	4%	NSW licences, training, certifications
Marketing	3%	How customers find us in the first place

Note: These figures represent the proportion of total business expenses — not your invoice total. A healthy net profit margin (the remainder) is what allows us to keep investing in our team, equipment, and training.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Typical Pricing By Service Type

We always quote before we start, but here’s a realistic guide so you can go in with a clear idea of what’s involved.

General Plumbing $150 – $300 Most standard residential jobs	Taps, toilets, hot water, leaks, and general maintenance Straightforward jobs sorted in a single visit Fixed price agreed before any work starts
Blocked Drains $200 – $500 Depending on access & complexity	High-pressure jetting to clear even severe blockages Free CCTV drain inspection included Same-day availability across Sydney
Emergency & After Hours $250 – $450 Callout + labour, after-hours rate	Available 24/7 for burst pipes, gas leaks, and flooding Rate confirmed before we send anyone out Licensed plumbers, fully equipped on every van

These are guides, not fixed prices. Every job gets assessed on-site before we quote. Once you’ve approved the price, that’s what you pay, no adjustments mid-job unless the scope genuinely changes, and we’ll always talk to you before going further.

OUR COMMITMENTS TO YOU

What You Can Always Count On

When you book with Hello Plumbing, these aren’t aspirational values on a wall; they’re the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job across Sydney.

Lifetime Labour Warranty

Every job is backed by a lifetime labour warranty. If something we’ve done develops a fault due to our workmanship, we’ll come back and fix it: no charge, no arguments, no fine print.

Fixed Price Before We Start

We won’t start any work until you’ve seen the price and said yes. Whether the job takes one hour or three, the price stays the same. You approved it; we stick to it.

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

We stand by our work. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll do whatever it takes to make it right, no questions asked.

On-Time, Every Time

We give you a clear booking window, and your technician calls 30 minutes before arrival, arriving prepared with the parts most jobs require already on the van.

We Respect Your Home

Floors are protected, spaces kept clean, and everything tidied up once done. We take before-and-after photos and give you a clear walkthrough of exactly what was done and why.

Fully Licensed & Insured

Every technician holds a current NSW licence and is backed by workers’ compensation, public liability, and vehicle insurance. Licence No. #480727C.
