Plumbing Work: One Hourly Rate
Every plumbing job is charged at the same rate — a tap, a leak, a radiator, a blocked drain. £80 the first hour, £60 each hour after that, £360 maximum for a day. Parts extra. Prices include VAT and everything we always charge for, such as waste removal.

£360
Maximum for a day
However long the day runs. The cap starts saving you money at 6 hours — £80 plus 5 hours at £60 would be £380, and you pay £360.

“I'd prefer one clear transparent rate. It also allows for if something doesn't go to plan, by charging per hour.”
We don't price plumbing job by job, because a job price is a guess at how long the work will take made before anyone has seen it. Tell us what's happening and George will estimate the time — the estimate is his, not a box you tick — and you pay for the hours at the rate above.

What the prices include
Every Price on This Page Includes VAT
Prices include VAT and everything we always charge for, such as waste removal. Nothing is added at the end. GWS is VAT-registered — VAT number 486 0121 03 — and every figure here is the total a household pays.
Bathroom ranges and prices marked “from” are a starting point, not a quotation. Plumbing work is charged by the hour at the rate in section 02, and parts are extra. We confirm what we expect the job to come to before it starts.
What Affects the Price?
Pricing FAQ
What affects the price of a bathroom renovation?
The main factors are: the size of the room, the extent of work (refresh vs full strip-out), the quality of fixtures and tiles you choose, whether structural changes are needed (moving walls, relocating plumbing), and any specialist requirements like wet room tanking or underfloor heating. We provide a fixed quote after a free site visit so there are no surprises.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. Every quote starts with a free site visit where George assesses the space, discusses your requirements, and provides a detailed, fixed-price quote. There's no obligation and no pressure.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A budget refresh typically takes 3–5 days. A full renovation takes 7–14 days depending on complexity. Premium projects with wet rooms or structural changes can take 2–3 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
How can I pay?
We accept card, bank transfer, and cash. Card payments are processed by Stripe. Bathroom projects are paid in stages agreed in your quote before work starts. We do not offer finance or credit of any kind.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. The quote you receive is the price you pay. We don't add charges for skip hire, materials delivery, or 'unforeseen complications' without discussing them with you first. If we discover something unexpected (e.g., hidden damp), we'll explain the options and costs before proceeding.

How much does a plumber charge per hour in Dartford?
GWS charges one rate for all plumbing work: £80 the first hour, £60 each hour after that, £360 maximum for a day. Parts extra. Emergency work is from £120, covering diagnosis and the first hour, with no separate call-out fee. We don't price plumbing job by job: tell George what's happening and he estimates the time, then you pay for the hours at that rate. All prices include VAT.
What's the cheapest way to renovate a bathroom?
The most cost-effective approach is a bathroom refresh (£3,000–£6,000) which replaces the suite, taps, and tiling over the existing layout without structural changes. This avoids the cost of strip-out, plastering, and re-routing plumbing.
