How Local Plumber Quotes works
One short form. One licensed local plumber. No cost to you and no obligation to book.
Tell us the job
What is wrong, your suburb and how soon you need it. It takes about a minute.
We pass it on
Your request goes to a licensed plumber who works in your suburb and does that kind of job.
They contact you
The plumber calls or texts you directly with a quote. You decide whether to book.
What we do
Local Plumber Quotes takes your job details and passes them to a licensed plumber who covers your suburb and does that type of work. The plumber then contacts you directly to ask questions, arrange a visit if one is needed, and give you a price.
What we do not do
- We do not carry out plumbing work.
- We do not set the plumber's prices or take a cut of your bill.
- We do not guarantee how quickly a plumber will reply, especially after hours.
- We do not sell your details to marketing lists.
How we are paid
Plumbers pay us a fee for the enquiries we send them. You pay nothing to us. If you go ahead, you pay the plumber for the work, on the terms you agree with them.
Licensed plumbers only
Plumbing and gas-fitting are licensed trades in Tasmania. We only pass jobs to plumbers who hold a current licence, and you can confirm any licence yourself on the CBOS licensed tradesperson search. It is worth the minute it takes.
Getting a good quote
- Say exactly what is happening and where. Photos help.
- Ask whether the price is fixed or an hourly rate plus parts.
- Ask about the call-out fee, especially after hours.
- Ask what is not included, such as patching walls or disposing of old fittings.
In an emergency
Turn the water off at your meter first. For a burst main in the street, call TasWater on 13 6992. If you smell gas, leave the house and call Tas Gas Networks on 1802 111. Call 000 if anyone is in danger. Then see emergency plumber.
