Plumbing prices in Singapore range from a quick leak fix to a full re-pipe, so the honest answer is "it depends on the scope." This guide lists the plumbing prices we publish for 2026, groups them from small repairs up to a full sanitary upgrade, and works through an example.

What drives the plumbing price

What pushes plumbing cost up
Extent (repair → full re-pipe)largest factor
Concealed vs. exposed pipeworkhigh
Relocating points & fittingsmedium-high
Pipe material (PVC vs. copper / PPR)medium
HDB approvals & accesslower
A visible leak fix is cheap; chasing concealed pipes into walls and re-tiling afterwards is what makes a bathroom re-pipe a project.

A worked example

A dripping tap and a short length of corroded pipe is a $80–$250 repair, or up to $1,200 if a longer run has to be replaced. Re-plumbing a single bathroom during a renovation — moving the WC, basin and shower and running new pipes — is typically $1,500 – $3,500. Re-plumbing a whole HDB or condo unit runs $3,000 – $8,000, and a landed house with several bathrooms $10,000–$25,000.

Concealed pipework is only worth doing once. If you're renovating a bathroom, replace ageing pipes while the walls are open — chasing them out later means hacking finished tiles.

Minor plumbing repairs and leak fixes typically run $80–$250, depending on the fitting and whether a section of pipe needs replacing.

Do I need a licensed plumber for HDB work?

Sanitary and plumbing works affecting the common system should be carried out by a PUB-licensed plumber. We handle the approvals and use licensed tradesmen.

Concealed or exposed pipework — which is better?

Concealed looks cleaner and is standard in renovations, but costs more because pipes are chased into walls and tiled over. Exposed is cheaper and easier to service.

The direct-contractor advantage: we're the renovation contractor, not a middleman — our own team does the work, so you're not paying a designer's markup on labour. More of your budget goes into materials and finishes.
