The figures, as at 2 November 2026, appear on the company's emergency plumbing and West End pages. The company describes them as indicative only and says every job receives a firm on-site quote before work starts.\n\nRanges published by the company\n\n- Business-hours emergency call-out: $99\n- After-hours call-out: $140 to $180\n- Leaking tap or mixer: $180 to $380\n- Hidden leak detection: $280 to $600\n- Blocked drain or sewer, jetting with CCTV inspection: $280 to $750\n- Burst pipe repair: $350 to $1,200\n- Galvanised pipe replacement, per run: $600 to $2,400\n- Hot water system supply and installation, or emergency replacement: $1,600 to $4,200\n- Gas leak isolation with certificate: $250 to $650\n\nOn its West End page, the company states that the $99 call-out is waived when the repair goes ahead.\n\nRepair or replace\n\nThe company's guidance is that a single pinhole leak in copper pipe is a repair, while three in a year is a conversation about re-piping. For hot water, it advises that a component failure on a system under eight years old is usually worth repairing, while a leaking tank body or a second significant fault within 12 months points to replacement.\n\nWhy it matters\n\nPublished ranges give householders a reference point when comparing quotes for urgent or planned repairs. The company notes the figures are indicative and that each job is quoted on site.\n\nAbout VM Plumbing & Gas\n\nVM Plumbing & Gas holds a QBCC licence for plumbing and gas fitting (Type A) and issues a Form 4 gas compliance certificate on gas work.
