Plumber working under a kitchen sink with tools and a toolbox beside him

Looking for a reliable plumber can mean hours of phoning around and waiting for call-backs. plumber.web.za makes it simpler. Tell us what you need, from a dripping tap to a full bathroom refit, and we pass your request to an independent plumber or plumbing company that works in your area. They contact you directly with a quote. We are not plumbers ourselves and we never do the work, but the service is free and there is no obligation to accept the quote you receive.

Plumbing services you can request

Most plumbing services fall into a few broad groups, and one request can cover more than one job:

  • Leaks, dripping taps, running toilets and burst pipes
  • Blocked drains, sinks, toilets and sewer lines
  • Geyser installation, repairs and replacement, including solar and heat pump systems
  • Bathroom and kitchen plumbing for renovations and new builds
  • Water tanks, pressure pumps and borehole connections
  • Compliance certificates for geysers and property transfers

How to find a plumber near me you can trust

When you search for a plumber near me or a plumber contractor near me, check a few things before work starts. A qualified plumber should be registered with the PIRB (Plumbing Industry Registration Board) and able to issue a PIRB Certificate of Compliance for work that needs one, such as a geyser installation. Ask for a written quote, confirm what is included, and ask whether parts and labour carry a guarantee. Plumbing work should follow SANS 10252-1 and your municipality's water and sanitation by-laws.

What affects the cost of a plumber

We don't publish set prices because every job is different. The main cost drivers are the type of work, how easy it is to reach the pipes, the parts and materials needed, travel distance, and whether you need a plumber after hours or over a weekend. A clear description and a few photos help the plumbing company give you an accurate quote first time.

How our free plumber quote service works

Our form takes a couple of minutes. Describe the job, add your suburb and contact details, and say how soon you need help. We send your request to an independent plumber or plumbing company that serves your area. They may phone you to ask questions or arrange a site visit, then send your quote directly. You deal with the plumber from there: you agree the price, the timing and the guarantee with them, and you pay them, not us.

The same applies to plumbing supplies. If you only need pipes, a geyser, taps or sanitaryware, we can pass your request to a supplier instead.

Choosing a plumber for plumber

The cheapest price is not always the best value. When your quote arrives, check:

  • Registration: ask for the plumber's PIRB registration and whether a Certificate of Compliance is included where the work needs one.
  • Scope: make sure the quote lists materials, labour, call-out fees and any making good of walls, ceilings or paving.
  • Guarantee: find out how long the workmanship is guaranteed and what manufacturer warranties apply.
  • Timing: confirm when the work can start and how long the water will be off.

Our service puts your request in front of a plumber in your area so you can check these points before you commit. It costs nothing and there is no obligation to accept the quote.

What to include in your request

  • A short description of the problem or the work you want done
  • Photos of the leak, fitting, geyser or area involved
  • Your suburb and the type of property (house, complex, business)
  • How urgent the job is and when the plumber can get access
