Price guide · checked 24 October 2026
What a plumber costs in Balbriggan
Most Balbriggan plumbers quote by phone rather than publishing a rate card, so here's what Dublin plumbers publish, to hold a quote against. We collected 137 prices that plumbers and Irish price guides publish, from 23 sources. Every one links to where we found it.
The short answer
Across four plumbers' own rate cards, a weekday hour costs €95–€148 with VAT. As published, that's €95 incl. VAT (Dublin Plumber 24hrs) to €130 + VAT (Dublin Plumbing Services). We added VAT at 13.5% to the rates quoted + VAT.
Two of the five rate cards we found charge no call-out fee. The other three charge €95–€159 with VAT. Dublin Plumber 24hrs says: "If you approve the quoted work, we deduct the €95 from your final bill" (source). Ask before anyone comes out.
€95–€148weekday hourly, 4 rate cards
No fee to €159call-out fee, 5 rate cards
€136–€284emergency or out-of-hours call-out, 3 rate cards
€115–€260evening, weekend and night hourly, 2 rate cards
All four include VAT. Where a plumber quotes + VAT, we added VAT at 13.5%, the rate plumbers state on their own pages. The median weekday hourly rate is €117.

How we did it
We read plumbers' rate cards and Irish price guides on 24 October 2026 and wrote down every price with the exact words used. The headline figures above only use fixed figures from plumbers' own rate cards. The job ranges use every published price for that job, rate cards and guides together, so they're wider. Prices change, so treat these as a benchmark to hold a quote against, not a quote.
Listing a business here doesn't mean it's the plumber we pass your job to. We show their prices so you can compare.
Every published price, by job
Plumbers' own prices first, then price guides. Prices are as published. "Not stated" means the page doesn't say whether VAT is included.

What's included, and watch the VAT
- Call-out fees work differently. Two of the five rate cards charge no call-out fee. Dublin Plumber 24hrs says: "This includes the first 45 minutes of inspection and technical investigation. If you approve the quoted work, we deduct the €95 from your final bill" (source). Grafta's guide says a call-out is "usually covering travel plus the first 30–60 minutes on site" (source).
- Minimum charges. The Dublin Plumber and Dublin Plumbing Services both bill at least €120 + VAT for the first hour, even for a short job (The Dublin Plumber, Dublin Plumbing Services).
- How time is billed. Dublin Plumbing Services bills by the "hour or part of" (source). Hydroflow says "Charged per 15 minutes" (source). On a short job, that difference matters.
- Parts and materials. LeakSOS: "Materials (if needed) are extra at trade price, no mark-up" (source). plumbersinireland.ie: "Cistern parts usually €20–€50 extra" for a toilet repair (source). Some prices are labour only and some are supplied and fitted, so check which you're being quoted.
- Watch the VAT. Of the 137 prices here, 67 don't say whether VAT is included, 39 are + VAT and 29 include it. Every plumber here who names a VAT rate gives 13.5% (City Drain, Dublin Plumber 24hrs, Dublin Plumbing Services, Hydroflow Plumbing & Heating, The Dublin Plumber). Dublin Area Plumbers shows both for its diagnostic call-out: "€140 plus VAT (€158.90)" (source). The Dublin Plumber's page lists its first hour as + VAT but also says all its prices include VAT (source). Always ask for the price including VAT.
Questions people ask
How much does a plumber charge per hour in Balbriggan?
None of the rate cards we collected comes from a plumber based in Balbriggan, so we compare the rate cards that Dublin plumbers publish. Across four plumbers' own rate cards, a weekday hour costs €95–€148 with VAT. As published, that's €95 incl. VAT (Dublin Plumber 24hrs) to €130 + VAT (Dublin Plumbing Services). We added VAT at 13.5% to the rates quoted + VAT. See every published price. Price guides give rounder, wider ranges: €50–€100 an hour across four guides.
Is there a call-out fee?
Two of the five rate cards we found charge no call-out fee. The other three charge €95–€159 with VAT. Dublin Plumber 24hrs says: "If you approve the quoted work, we deduct the €95 from your final bill" (source). Ask before anyone comes out.
How much is an emergency plumber in Balbriggan?
Emergency and out-of-hours work costs more. On the rate cards we found, an emergency or out-of-hours call-out costs €136–€284 with VAT (three plumbers), and evening, weekend and night labour runs €115–€260 an hour with VAT (two plumbers). Ask for the out-of-hours rate before the plumber sets off.
Do plumbers' prices include VAT?
Not always, and often they don't say. Of the 137 prices here, 67 don't state it. Every plumber here who names a VAT rate gives 13.5%. Ask for the price including VAT.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking tap?
Published prices to fix a dripping tap run €40–€150 across two sources. A new tap fitted runs €75–€250 across six sources.

Published prices to unblock a drain in normal hours run €80–€250, across four sources. Five of the six prices don't say whether VAT is included. Out of hours costs more: Dylex starts from €170 + VAT (source). Pick "Blocked sink, toilet or drain" in the form.
