Average Plumbing Costs Nationwide

This can include jobs like repairing faucets, toilets, sinks or bathtubs. Depending on the job, some plumbers charge a flat rate, or service fee of $300 on average.”

The price you’ll end up paying will vary significantly, depending on the parts needed to complete your repair, the amount and time of labor required, and even your area. For example, the prices you’ll encounter in large metropolises tend to be more pricey, whereas smaller towns tend to be on the cheaper side.
