Plumber price Singapore data: how we collected it
Published plumbing prices show that the job is the biggest factor: the middle published rate is S$80 per job for choke clearing but S$160 per job for water heater replacement. Within each job, rates still differ between companies, often because the lines cover different work, such as a floor trap rather than a toilet bowl.
We took the plumbing rates that companies in the directory publish, quoted as printed, each linked to its source. For each job we kept one line per company: its lowest published line that matches the job. Company names appear only in the tables. Nothing is estimated, combined or adjusted, and every figure keeps its printed unit.
Each table shows the lowest and highest published rate and, where there is one, the middle company's rate.

13 companies publish a tap line, and all 13 price it per job. Their lowest published rates run from S$60 to S$130 per job, with S$80 per job in the middle: the middle company's published rate as printed. The table shows each company's lowest matching rate, so check what each price covers.
The lines are not all the same job. Some cover a tap repair or a leaking tap, others replacing a kitchen sink or basin tap, and several specify a "basic type" or "normal type" tap. One company prints S$80 to S$120 per job for tap installation. "From" rates are starting rates, so ask what would raise the price. See the tap replacement cost guide for more on this job.
PUB's Plumbing Works page says replacing a tap is one of the listed simple plumbing works that a handyman may do, while other water service and sanitary plumbing works must be done by a PUB Licensed Plumber. If your job involves more than the tap, ask whether that work needs one.

22 companies publish a choke clearing line, and all 22 price it per job. Their lowest published rates run from S$50 to S$150 per job. With an even number of companies, both middle rates are S$80 per job, so S$80 per job is a real published rate. The scope as printed is clearing one choke in a toilet bowl, floor trap or sink, so check what each price covers.
The fixture makes a clear difference. Floor trap lines are printed at S$50 or S$60 per job, while most toilet bowl lines are printed at S$80 per job or more. Sink lines sit at both ends of the table. One company notes that complex jobs with grease traps or root intrusion cost more.

Most lines are worded as rectifying water discharge into the toilet bowl by replacing the siphon. That same job is printed from S$80 per job by some companies and from S$150 per job by others, so ask what each price includes. Other lines cover a toilet bowl valve, a WC flush cistern replacement, or a shower set and WC flush system at S$135 per job.

| Reliable Plumbing Services - U-Home Plumbing & Engineering | 707 Protek Instant Water Heater with Hand Shower Set | S$288 per job | u-homehardware.com |
5 companies publish a water heater line, and all 5 price it per job. Their lowest published rates run from S$120 to S$288 per job, with S$160 per job in the middle: the middle company's published rate as printed. The table shows each company's lowest matching rate, so check what each price covers.
One line is for a 13A water heater point, which is electrical work: EMA says electrical work in an HDB flat needs a Licensed Electrician, the class of LEW approved for loads of up to 45kVA (EMA). Two are for installing a water heater, printed from S$120 and from S$160 per job, and one company prints S$200 to S$500 per job for installation. The S$288 per job line names a specific instant water heater model with a hand shower set.
Ask whether a price includes the heater itself or installation only, and whether removing the old heater is part of the job. The water heater replacement cost guide covers this job in more detail.

Compare plumbersReading a plumbing quote
A published rate is a starting point. Before you agree to a price, check that the quote covers four things:
- Job. The fixture and the work in plain words, such as clearing one floor trap choke or replacing one basic sink tap.
- Parts. Whether the tap, siphon or heater is included, or the price is for labour only.
- Call-out. Whether a call-out or transport charge is added, and whether it applies if you do not go ahead.
- Warranty. Whether the work and any parts carry a warranty, and for how long.
Ask for the quote in writing before work starts. For a fuller list, use the plumbing quote checklist.
Questions
Why do plumbing prices vary so much?
Mostly because the lines cover different work. One price may be for a floor trap and another for a toilet bowl, one may include the part and another may be labour only, and many are "From" rates. Compare lines for the same fixture and scope, and ask each company what its price includes.
Is the call-out fee included in these prices?
Not necessarily, so ask before you book. Each table shows a company's published job rate as printed. Ask whether the price you are given is the full amount for the visit, including any call-out or transport charge, and whether a charge applies if you do not go ahead.
Are parts counted in these price ranges?
It depends on the line. A few lines are worded as labour only, such as "Supply Labour to replace kitchen sink/basin tap (normal type)", while one water heater line names a heater model with a hand shower set. Ask whether the price includes the tap, siphon or heater.
How often is this data updated?
The rate tables use the published rates in our directory when the page is built. Each row links to the company's own source, so you can check the current rate there. Confirm the price with the company when you ask for a quote.
Are cheaper plumbers less qualified?
Not necessarily, because a price does not show who holds a licence. PUB's Plumbing Works page says water service and sanitary plumbing works must be done by a PUB Licensed Plumber, except listed simple plumbing works, such as replacing a tap or a flush valve washer, which a handyman may do. Ask whether the person doing your job holds the licence it needs.
Can I use these figures to negotiate?
Yes, as a reference point. Show the company the published line for the same job and ask what its price covers that others do not, such as parts or a warranty. Compare like with like: a floor trap rate is not a toilet bowl rate, and a "From" rate is not a final price.
