How to hire a plumber pro in Hong Kong
- For work on the fresh or flushing water supply, verify a Water Supplies Department (WSD) Licensed Plumber is engaged — required for plumbing installation works in Hong Kong
- For flats, check whether the problem is in common pipes (management company's job) or your own unit's pipes before hiring
- Get a fixed per-job quote including materials — hourly billing is uncommon for small residential jobs
- Check the company's Business Registration and read platform reviews (HKTVmall service listings, Toby, etc.)
- Ask about warranty on the repair (30-90 days typical)
- For older buildings, ask the plumber to check adjacent pipe sections — corroded galvanised pipes fail in clusters
Hong Kong requires plumbing installation works on fresh and flushing water systems to be carried out under a WSD Licensed Plumber; drainage and internal repairs are less restricted. Leaks between flats are a common dispute area — the Buildings Department and management offices run joint investigations for inter-floor seepage.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my quote say 'parts extra'?
Many plumbers quote labour only because parts vary enormously — a tap can cost ten times more than another tap. 'Parts extra' is fine if the plumber estimates the range up front and shows receipts. Be wary of open-ended parts pricing with no estimate; ask for a not-to-exceed figure on the total.
How much does it cost to replace a toilet?
Labour for a straight swap (same location, existing connections sound) is typically 1-3 hours, plus the cost of the toilet itself. Prices climb when the old flange or shut-off valve needs replacing, the floor needs making good, or the new model doesn't match existing connections. Ask the plumber to quote 'supply and fit' and 'fit only' so you can compare buying the toilet yourself.
What's the difference between a plumber and a drainage specialist?
Plumbers handle supply pipes, fixtures, and internal waste pipes. Drainage specialists handle underground drains, sewers, jetting, and camera surveys. For a recurring underground blockage or collapsed drain, a drainage firm with a jetting rig and CCTV camera is usually cheaper and faster than a general plumber.
Who pays when a plumbing leak damages my neighbour's property?
Generally the owner of the property where the leak originated is liable, which usually flows through your home insurance. This is exactly why hiring insured, registered plumbers matters: if a botched repair causes the leak, their liability insurance responds. Keep invoices — insurers ask who did the work.
How much does a plumber cost in Hong Kong?
Per-job pricing is standard: unclogging (通渠) runs HK$300-HK$1,200 depending on severity, tap or valve replacement HK$300-HK$800, and toilet replacement HK$800-HK$3,000 including a standard unit. Emergency night calls carry a 50-100% premium.
My ceiling is leaking from the flat upstairs — who pays in Hong Kong?
The owner of the source of the leak is responsible, but proving the source is the hard part. Start with your management office, which can arrange inspection; unresolved cases go to the Buildings Department/FEHD Joint Office for inter-floor water seepage. Keep photos and correspondence — these disputes are slow.
