How much does a plumber cost in 2026?

A plumber charges an average of 45 to 75 euros per hour, plus call-out costs of 25 to 65 euros. The total costs depend on the type of job and the materials required.

For a simple repair such as a leaking tap you pay 80 to 180 euros. Larger jobs such as sewer unblocking cost 100 to 300 euros. A complete bathroom renovation in terms of pipework costs 500 to 1,500 euros.

Costs per type of job

The most common plumbing jobs are replacing taps (80-180 euros), installing toilets (200-450 euros), unblocking sewers (100-300 euros) and central heating boiler maintenance (100-200 euros). For leaks, the price depends on the severity: a simple leak costs 100-250 euros, while a hidden leak in the wall can be more expensive.

Emergency jobs outside office hours cost 50 to 100% more. A plumber who comes on the weekend or after 6:00 PM will quickly charge double the hourly rate.

When do you need a plumber?

Call a plumber immediately if you have active water leaks, a clogged sewer that no longer drains, gas smells or a defective central heating boiler. In these situations, acting quickly is important to prevent damage and unsafe situations.

You can easily compare quotes for non-urgent jobs such as replacing taps, renewing pipework or bathroom renovations. The more you compare, the more you save.
