Do this first
Stop running the tap, and do not keep plunging if water is leaking under the sink. Do not add another chemical drain cleaner after one has been used: tell us which product it was, because it can burn skin.

TRANSPARENT PRICING — CLEAR FROM THE START
Transparent plumbing prices before your visit
We’re proud to be clear about our prices. Published guide charges, a clear breakdown of what is included, and your agreement before work starts. Callout, labour, parts and materials are explained separately so you can make an informed choice.
Standard hours are 7am–7pm, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Evenings, nights, weekends and bank holidays are out of hours. All times are Edinburgh local time.
These figures are not a total job price.
Callout charges cover attendance and diagnosis only and are separate from repair labour. The service prices shown are labour charges only. Parts and materials are charged separately. No VAT is charged.
Service labour figures below are guides for standard-hours work. Out-of-hours labour is quoted separately. Where a callout applies, for urgent attendance, it is payable for attendance and diagnosis even if you decide not to proceed with a repair; confirm the applicable fee before agreeing to attendance.
Prices correct as of . Published prices are subject to change without notice for future enquiries. This does not change an accepted quotation or an agreed contract price; any additional work or price variation requires your agreement before proceeding. Read our pricing policy →

| Standard-hours callout | From £75 | Attendance and diagnosis only |

KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
Clear scope. A useful next step.
Sink only, or the drain?
If only one sink is slow, the blockage is usually in the trap or the waste pipe close by, and a blocked sink plumber can clear it on the visit. If the sink, bath and toilet all gurgle or back up, the problem is likely further down the drain, and drain unblocking is the right service.
Price
Sink and waste-pipe unblocking is labour at our drain unblocking guide price of £70–£180 in standard hours, plus the callout. We agree the price before starting. Booked visits online or on WhatsApp have no callout charge.
For a planned visit, request an appointment online. The plumber confirms attendance and the work and price are agreed before work starts. For emergencies or out-of-hours work, call 0131 210 0505.
