Why Perth homeowners call Tap Doctor Plumbing & Gas
Most people only call a plumber a few times a decade, usually when something has already gone wrong. These are the things our customers tell us matter most, and how we handle each one.
A firm price before any work starts
Your plumber looks at the job, explains what’s needed and gives you a firm price. Nothing starts until you agree, and the price you agree is the price you pay.
No call-out fee in business hours
You don’t pay for us to turn up and look. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe nothing during business hours.
We call ahead and arrive on time
We confirm your booking, then call before we arrive so you’re not waiting at home all day. Being on time comes up in our reviews more than anything else.
Licensed plumbers and gasfitters
Every job is done by a WA licensed plumber, and gas work by a licensed gasfitter. Our licence numbers are listed further down this page so you can check them.
Pay when the job is done
Cash, card or Osko bank transfer, collected when the work is finished.
Parts in the van
Our vans carry a wide range of taps, valves, fittings and parts from several manufacturers, so most jobs are finished on the first visit.

24/7 emergency plumbers in Perth
Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For a burst pipe, a gas smell or sewage coming up through a drain, call us rather than booking online.
What to do first
- Gas smell: turn the gas off at the meter, open doors and windows, don’t use switches or flames, then call us.
- Burst pipe or major leak: turn the water off at the mains, usually near the front boundary by the meter.
- Call 1300-655-827 and tell us what’s happening. We’ll prioritise urgent jobs and tell you when to expect us.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
- Gas leaks or a smell of gas
- Burst pipes and water you can’t turn off
- Sewage overflowing or backing up
- Your only toilet blocked or overflowing
- No hot water, for some households
After-hours call-out fees vary based on the day, time and location.
Call 24/7: 1300-655-827What does a plumber cost in Perth?
Plumbing is hard to price over the phone. At best a ballpark price is just a guess, and that’s not good for you or us. So instead of guessing, we send a local licensed Tap Doctor plumber to look at the job before giving you a firm price. There’s no call-out fee during business hours, no obligation, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
No call-out fee in business hours
You only pay for the work you agree to. If you don’t go ahead, there’s nothing to pay during business hours.
Firm price, no surprises
The price is agreed before we start. If we find something unexpected, we stop and talk to you first.
How you can pay
Cash, credit card or debit card, or bank transfer with Osko for an instant payment. Payment is collected when the job is done.

How can I pay?
Cash, credit card or debit card, or bank transfer with Osko for an instant payment. Payment is collected when the job is done.
Do you charge a call-out fee?

Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Perth?
Our phones are answered 24/7 on 1300-655-827, and in most cases we can send a plumber after hours. For gas leaks, burst pipes and sewage overflows, call rather than booking online.
