What does a plumber do?
Leaks, blockages, tap and toilet replacements, hot-water cylinders, and emergency callouts — fixed by vetted, insured Irish plumbers.
Plumbers handle the water and drainage systems in your home — from a leaking tap to a full bathroom installation. They cover hot and cold supply pipework, waste and soil pipes, water tanks, immersions, valves, and fittings, along with hot water cylinders and pumped showers. Boiler-connected plumbing is generally split between the plumber (pipework, radiators, cylinder) and a Registered Gas Installer (the boiler itself), although many Irish plumbers hold both qualifications — any gas work must be carried out by an RGI, registered with the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGII).
For any new install or material alteration, ask whether your plumber is RGII-registered if gas is involved, or working alongside an RGI. Common plumbing jobs across Ireland include unblocking sinks and drains, fixing leaks, replacing taps and mixers, fitting toilets and bathroom suites, swapping radiators, fitting outside taps, and emergency callouts for burst pipes or no hot water. An emergency plumber deals with active damage — a burst pipe, a serious leak, a home with no water — while everyday work can be scheduled for a time that suits. Reliable plumbers carry their own van stock, so most non-specialist jobs can be done same-day.

How much does a plumber cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Plumbing prices in Ireland vary widely by job type, urgency, access, and parts cost. The figures below are indicative national ranges — your itemised quote will reflect the specifics of your job, and it is free and no-obligation. A standard callout is typically €70–€120, often offset against the work. Replacing a tap or mixer is €80–€180 depending on accessibility. A new toilet fitted is €200–€400 plus the unit itself. Fitting a single radiator is €150–€280.
A full bathroom suite (toilet, basin, bath/shower) without tiling typically runs €1,500–€3,500 in plumbing labour and parts. Emergency out-of-hours callouts are usually €120–€200 plus materials — a premium worth paying for a burst pipe, though a dripping tap can usually wait until morning. Before work starts, insist on an itemised quote that separates labour, parts, and VAT, and agree upfront how any extras discovered mid-job will be priced. For larger jobs like a bathroom refit, agree stage payments by milestone rather than paying a large deposit.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Plumber FAQs
Do I need a Registered Gas Installer for boiler work?
Yes — any work on the gas side of a boiler, including replacement, service, or repair, must legally be done by an RGI in Ireland. Many plumbers in Ireland hold both general plumbing and RGI registration. The water-side pipework, radiators, and cylinder can be done by any qualified plumber. Always ask for the RGI ID number and check it on rgii.ie before booking gas work.
How long does a bathroom installation take?
A straightforward bathroom suite swap (toilet, basin, bath, shower) without re-tiling takes 2–4 days. A full refit including tiling, electrical (extractor, lighting), and a different layout is typically 7–14 days. Custom features like wet rooms, walk-in showers, or moving the soil stack add days. Your plumber should provide a day-by-day schedule and stage payments by milestone.
Why does my hot water keep running cold mid-shower?
Common causes include an undersized hot water cylinder, sediment build-up in the cylinder reducing capacity, a failing immersion thermostat, or a worn shower thermostatic cartridge. A plumber can diagnose by checking your cylinder size against household demand and testing the thermostat. Fixes range from €80 (cartridge) to €700–€1,200 (new cylinder fitted).
Is a power shower the same as an electric shower?
No. An electric shower heats cold mains water on demand using its own element — independent of the immersion or boiler. A power shower mixes hot and cold from the existing system and uses a pump to boost flow. Power showers are generally better for low-pressure systems but require an existing hot water source. An electric shower is usually cheaper to install but slower-flowing.
What's an emergency vs a non-emergency call?
Emergencies are situations causing active damage or loss of essential service: burst pipes, no water at all, severe leaks, or a non-functioning toilet in a one-bathroom home. Non-emergencies — dripping taps, slow drains, single fixture issues — can be scheduled normally. Most Irish plumbers offer 24-hour emergency callout, but at a 30–60% premium over standard rates. If it can wait until morning, it usually saves money.
How fast can I get a plumber out for an emergency?
Post your job free and it goes to one vetted, insured local plumber — closest and best-rated first — not a call list, so your details aren't passed around to multiple businesses. Most homeowners receive a quote within a few hours, and messaging happens in-app. For a burst pipe, turn off the water at the mains stopcock first to limit damage, then flag the job as urgent when you post it.
