| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Standard call-out and first hour | $150 – $300 | Business hours. Most plumbers charge a call-out that includes some labour. |
| After hours or emergency call-out | $250 – $500 | Nights, weekends and public holidays carry a premium. Ask before you agree. |
| Clear a blocked drain (machine) | $250 – $600 | Depends on access and how far down the blockage sits. |
| Drain camera inspection | $250 – $450 | Often the difference between guessing and knowing. Sometimes bundled with a clear. |
| Replace a hot water system | $1,500 – $3,500 | Electric storage at the lower end. Gas and heat pump run higher, plus any compliance work. |
| Repair a hot water system | $200 – $700 | Elements, thermostats and valves are usually worth repairing. A rusted tank is not. |
| Burst pipe repair | $300 – $900 | Accessible pipework at the lower end. Under a slab is a different job entirely. |
| Pipe relining, per metre | $400 – $900 | More than a clear-out up front, less than excavation, and it lasts. |
| Replace a tap or mixer | $150 – $400 | Plus the tapware. A dripping tap is often just a washer. |
Prices here are indicative only. What a plumbing job costs depends on what is actually wrong, how accessible the pipework is, whether it is after hours, and what has to be replaced rather than repaired. You get a firm price from the plumber after they have seen it.
