Plumber Singapore for Toilet Chokes, Leaks & Pipe Repairs

Water running right now?

Close the nearest valve first: the angle valve under the sink or toilet, or your unit's main stop valve. Then send us a video and say whether the water has stopped.

If it will not stop, or it is reaching the unit below, use the 24-hour plumber route for burst pipes and water you cannot shut off. Enquiries 24/7; arrival time is confirmed before dispatch and is not guaranteed instant.

• Offices, shops and factories: commercial and industrial plumbing

What changes the price

• Where the problem is. A choke in the WC or floor trap is usually a short manual job; one further down the line may need a powered drain machine. A leak behind tiles needs tracing, hacking and re-tiling, so it only has a starting price.
• Old fittings. An angle valve that has not been touched for years can seize or crack when it is closed. If that happens, we show you and confirm the extra part and price first.
• Parts. Buy your own tap, bowl or heater, or we supply one; materials are always listed apart from labour.
• Access. Lift or stairs, a cramped sink cabinet, a storage heater above the bathroom ceiling.
• Licensing. Whether the job needs a PUB Licensed Plumber (see below).
• Start time. The hour the work starts is the only scheduling factor that changes the labour rate; weekends and public holidays cost the same as weekdays.

HDB, condo or landed: who fixes what

HDB flat. HDB's page on clogged or leaking pipes in HDB flats says owners maintain the sanitary branch pipes in their flat, and the Town Council maintains the main sanitary pipes. A choke in your WC, floor trap or branch pipe is yours to fix, which is plumber work. If water rises in your floor trap when the flats above use water, or neighbours on the same stack have the same problem, the main pipe may be involved: report it to your Town Council first. HDB's ceiling-leak guidance also says to contact the Town Council for leaks from common property.

Condo or EC. If the fault may be in a shared pipe or other common property, report it to the managing agent or MCST first. For work inside your unit, the MCST may ask for advance notice or contractor insurance details. Our crews are insured.

Landed home. You arrange repairs directly. Storage heaters and longer pipe runs are more common than in flats, which affects time on site.

Do you need a PUB Licensed Plumber?

PUB sorts plumbing work into two groups (PUB: Plumbing Works, checked 1 November 2026). Its list of simple works, which do not need a Licensed Plumber, includes replacing a tap or mixer, a flexible or shower hose, or a cistern's flushing parts; installing or replacing a washbasin or sink with its bottle trap; and clearing a blockage in a floor trap, WC or sanitary appliance. Most other work on water-supply and sanitary pipes, including installing, changing or relocating a toilet bowl, is regulated work that must be carried out by a PUB Licensed Plumber.

Regulated plumbing work is carried out by licensed parties arranged by scope; you can ask for their details before work starts. The written quote states which group your job falls into. For submissions and how to check a licence, see which jobs need a PUB Licensed Plumber.

Plumber near me in Singapore: how a booking works

There is no shopfront to walk into, so "near me" comes down to your postal code, the building access and the jobs already queued in that part of Singapore. Our reply gives the earliest slot we can confirm.

1. Send the details. A photo or video of the problem and of the nearest valve; postal code, block and unit; which fixture; whether water is still running. For a heater, add the model label.
2. Get a range. We reply with the indicative price, or the questions needed to narrow it. Same-day slots when available, confirmed before dispatch. Asking a question books nothing.
3. On site. The plumber finds the cause first. Price, scope and exclusions are confirmed in writing before work starts. If fault tracing is needed, diagnostic labour is quoted separately before fault tracing begins and is credited in full toward the related work when the customer proceeds.
4. Repair and test. Flush, flow and leak checks before handover. Any workmanship warranty is stated in the written quote.
5. Pay. PayNow, PayLah, bank transfer, cash or e-invoice.
