Plumbers by home type and urgency
Plumber near me
In Singapore, the nearest plumber is not always the best pick, because distance mostly changes when someone can arrive while clear upfront pricing matters more. Send a photo, your postal code and home type on WhatsApp, and ask for an all-in price range before anyone comes.

When to call
- Something is choked, leaking or broken and you want someone nearby who can come soon.
- You need a small job done, such as a tap, hose or toilet flush, and want to avoid a big transport charge.
- You have photos or a video and want a price range before booking anyone.
- You need licensed work, such as a toilet bowl or storage heater change, and want to check the plumber's licence first.
- A quote you received seems high and you want a second opinion.
Common jobs
- Clearing toilet, floor trap, sink and basin chokes.
- Fixing leaking taps, flexible hoses and exposed pipes.
- Repairing toilet flush and cistern problems.
- Replacing water heaters, toilet bowls, taps and shower sets.
- Finding hidden leaks behind walls or under floors.
Before you call
Safe things to try first
- Take a clear photo and a short video of the problem, plus a photo of the model label if it is a heater or toilet bowl.
- Note your postal code, home type (HDB, condo or landed), floor, and when you can be home.
- Find your main valve and close it if anything is leaking.
- Check whether neighbours have the same problem. In HDB blocks, shared stack problems go to the town council.
What we do
- 1Look at your photo or video, postal code and home type.
- 2Give you a price range and say what it includes, such as transport, labour and standard materials, before anyone is sent.
- 3Agree a time. Distance changes the arrival time, not whether someone can come.
- 4On site, confirm the cause and the final price before starting. If the job turns out bigger than it looked, explain why and agree the new price before doing any extra work.
- 5Do the job, test it, and go through an itemised bill with you.

HDB, condo and landed
HDB
For simple jobs in office hours, check whether your town council runs a handyman service with published rates. Common stack problems go to the town council, not a private plumber.
Condo
Tell management and security a plumber is coming, and check by-law work hours before you book a time slot.
Landed
Mention that it is a landed house when you ask for a quote, because long pipe runs, inspection chambers and underground lines change how the job is priced.
Plumber near me: common questions
How do I choose a plumber near me in Singapore?
Look for clear upfront pricing, a willingness to give a range from photos, and a straight answer on what is included. Read reviews from real customers on independent platforms, and for licensed work, check the licence on PUB's Licensed Plumber Directory. Being close by helps with arrival time, but it matters less than these.
What details help a plumber quote accurately?
A photo and short video of the problem, your postal code and home type, how long it has been happening, what you have already tried, and for replacements, a photo of the model label. Clear details mean a tighter price range and fewer surprises on the day.
What are the red flags when hiring a plumber?
No price or range before work starts. A price that balloons once the pipe or trap is opened, with no clear reason. Pressure to decide on the spot or to pay for extra work you did not ask for. And anyone offering to do licensed work, such as a storage heater or toilet bowl change, without a PUB licence.
Why did the price go up after the plumber started?
Sometimes the job really is bigger than it looked, for example a choke deep in the branch pipe rather than the trap. A fair plumber stops, explains why, and gives you the new price before carrying on. If extra work was done without your agreement, ask for an itemised bill and the reason in writing.
Are plumbing quotes in Singapore inclusive of GST?
Not always. GST, currently 9%, is often left out of quotes and added to the invoice by GST-registered firms. Ask whether the price is before or after GST so you compare like with like.
