| Job | Indicative price | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency call-out, business hours | $120 – $250 | Attending and diagnosing. We tell you when you book whether it comes off the repair. |
| After hours, weekend or public holiday | $180 – $400 | The call-out premium. We give you the figure on the phone, before we come out. |
| Burst pipe — isolate and repair | $250 – $900 | Depends heavily on access. A pipe in a wall or under a slab must be reached first, and that work can take the total past this range. |
| Blocked drain — machine clear | $200 – $550 | Electric eel or high-pressure jet. Root-bound lines take longer. |
| CCTV drain camera inspection | $150 – $400 | Usually the sensible next step after a second blockage in the same line. |
| Blocked toilet | $150 – $400 | Cheaper if it's the pan, more if the blockage is out in the sewer line. |
| Hot water unit repair | $180 – $600 | Elements, thermostats, valves and thermocouples. Worth trying before replacement. |
| Hot water unit replacement | $1,200 – $3,500 | Electric storage at the lower end; continuous-flow gas and heat pump at the upper. |
| Leak detection, non-invasive | $250 – $600 | Acoustic and thermal tracing to find a leak without opening walls or slab. |
| Gas leak — make safe and repair | $250 – $800 | Gasfitting licence class. Never a job to defer or attempt. |
| Tap or mixer replacement | $150 – $400 | Per tap, plus the fitting. Can be bundled if several are done at once. |
| Sewer or stormwater repair | from $900 | Excavation dependent. A camera inspection first tells you what you're actually buying. |
How these ranges were compiled: indicative ranges set when this site was built in August 2026, with the call-out and whole-job figures checked against published Australian plumbing cost guides on 31 August 2026. Which guides was not recorded at the time, and no Geelong plumber's written quote has checked these figures yet. They are not a quote, so use them to budget and to spot an outlier, not to hold anyone to.
Prices are indicative only. What a job costs depends on the fault, how long it takes to find, whether parts are needed and whether it's after hours. We give you a firm price before any work starts.
Tell us the suburb and what's happening, and we'll ring you back.
