Plumbing emergencies tend to happen at the least convenient time—though truth be told, there's never a convenient time for a drain or toilet to block, or a pipe to burst. When emergencies occur, you need an emergency plumber you can trust, whose rates are upfront and transparent.

Fortunately, emergency service is our specialty! Kingfisher Plumbing's plumbers provide Tauranga with a fast, 24-hour emergency service, 365 days a year. We’re at your service whenever you need us—not just between the hours of 7.30am and 5pm, but at night, on the weekend, and during holidays as well. We provide an upfront breakdown of our call out rates below....

QUOTING VS CHARGE UP

For the small jobs, we do this on a charge up basis, where you pay for the exact times and materials used (time is charged in 15 minute increments).

We provide a free quoting service for jobs that are going to be over $500, which is a general industry practice. The quote will give you a breakdown description of what it includes and will give you the total price for the works.

We still have to pay our guys the same whether they are sitting in the van driving to your job, or on your job, so the labour charge starts when they start driving to your job (and may stop at the merchants on way to pick up parts). If you live outside of the standard travel area, labour also includes travel back into town.

We are in the mobile service industry so the vehicle charge helps us to cover things like van maintenance, WOFS, registration and petrol/diesel. Extra vehicle charges will apply for those further away outside of the general Tauranga area.

Invoices are sent via email if an email address has been provided, or posted, and provide a full description of works completed and a breakdown of labour and materials on charge up work. Payment terms is 7 days from date on invoice.

We are now accepting credit card payments via our trade software. A 3.25% servicing fee applies.
