How Our Fixed Pricing Works
One price, agreed upfront, that does not change once you have accepted it.
Every job is quoted at a fixed price covering materials, labour and GST, agreed with you before any work begins. What we quote is what you pay, with no hourly meter running and no nasty surprise waiting on the final invoice.
Why Fixed Pricing Works in Your Favour
Here is what an upfront, fixed price actually means for you:
-
You Know the Cost Before We Start
No estimates and no rough guesses. You get a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, and the figure we quote is the figure you pay.
-
No After-Hours Premium
We charge the same rate after hours as we do during the day, so the timing of your job never inflates the price. An evening, weekend or emergency call out costs you no more than a weekday one.
-
Everything Is in the Quote
Materials, labour and GST are all included in the price we give you, so nothing is quietly added to the bill once the work is finished.
-
Backed by Real Experience
Our pricing reflects safe, compliant, professional work. Director Daniel Simms brings twenty-five years of experience, the business is family owned with a five-star Google rating, and you can find a licence holder to confirm we are licensed.
How Our Pricing Process Works
From first call to locked-in price, here is how it runs:
-
Step One: Get in Touch
Call us on 0420 104 118 or request a quote. We are available 24/7, so you can reach a local team whenever you need one.
-
Step Two: We Assess the Job
We look at the work properly, in person where it matters, and identify the right fix rather than just the quickest one.
-
Step Three: You Get a Fixed Quote
You receive a clear, upfront price covering materials, labour and GST, with nothing to be added afterwards.
-
Step Four: The Price Is Locked In
Once you accept, the price is fixed. We carry out the work to the AS/NZS 3500 plumbing standard and, for gas, the AS/NZS 5601 gas standard.

How a Job Is Costed
The figures below are an illustrative example of how a typical job is costed, shown for transparency. They reflect the proportion of overall business costs that keep a licensed, insured team on the road across Adelaide's south. They are not a breakdown of your individual invoice.
| Category | Share | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Wages and labour | 38% | Paying our licensed plumbers and technicians fairly |
| Insurance (public liability, workers comp, vehicle) | 16% | Cover that protects both you and our team |
| Vehicles and fuel | 13% | Fleet maintenance, registration and fuel |
| Materials and parts | 11% | Stock, fittings and consumables on the van |
| Tools and equipment | 9% | Specialised plumbing, gas and drain equipment |
| Administration and software | 6% | Scheduling, invoicing, bookkeeping and IT |
| Licensing and compliance | 4% | SA licences, training and certifications |
| Marketing | 3% | How customers find us in the first place |
| Net profit (reinvested) | About 10% | Invested back into the business |
A typical job, shown for illustration only. The net profit is not taken home, it goes back into training, equipment and the team so we can keep doing the job properly for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
Why do you not charge by the hour?
Hourly billing creates uncertainty and can reward a slow job. A fixed price agreed upfront means you know the full cost before we start, and it does not change once you accept it.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. The price we quote is the full price, including GST, materials and labour, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay.
Do you charge more for after-hours or weekend work?
No. We charge the same rate after hours as during the day, so an evening, weekend or emergency call out never comes with a premium.
What if the job is more complex than expected?
We assess the work properly before quoting. If something genuinely changes once we are underway, we stop and agree any difference with you first, so the accepted price never moves on its own.
Can I pay a larger job off over time?
Yes. Interest-free payment options are available through Humm, so a bigger job like a hot water replacement does not have to be paid for all at once.
