Guaranteed upfront pricing by Whywait Plumbing has been our policy since 1999, as we know near the top of the question list for every client is

“how much is this going to cost?”

As the Gold Coast’s leading plumbing maintenance company since 1976, we understand you want to know the cost now when you contact us. The reality is no professional plumber can ever give you any more than an assessment of cost based on your observations. It is inconceivable for an experienced professional plumber to give you an accurate price over the phone without firstly undertaking an on-site evaluation and diagnosis.

“no professional plumber can ever give you a price over the phone, without an on-site evaluation and diagnosis”

This is why we always have one of our professional plumbers attend at your home to diagnose your problem thoroughly, and the service task’s to be undertaken. He will then provide you with a range of fully costed solutions, and these costs are guaranteed upfront pricing.

From your perspective, we realise that there’s nothing worse than getting a larger than expected bill after the work has been completed. That NEVER happens with Whywait Plumbing because you are always in control of approving all work before we will begin the work. You’ll always know what it costs before we start the job. This means we do nothing without your prior approval.

At Whywait Plumbing we price everything we do in advance…no ifs, no buts it’s our guaranteed policy for all residential domestic clients.

We are the only Gold Coast Plumbers from 1999 onward to:

• Use a menu or flat rate system which is a quantity surveying system that ensures we can give you an upfront price which guarantees you’ll always know the price before we start the job;
• No other plumbing companies can match our system because it’s honest and clear cut, so you completely understand the extent of the job and the cost before we start.

When you phone Whywait Plumbing, our friendly customer service team member will:

• Firstly listen to your request for service and the problems you are facing;
• Explain that we charge an initial upfront fault finding/investigation diagnostic evaluation fee and what that fee is;
• Once you are happy to accept our diagnostic pricing we’ll secure your booking by your providing your credit card to cover the initial fault finding/investigation diagnostic evaluation fee;

• Once you have approved in writing the work options, you wish us to proceed with we will start the work;
• As the majority of plumbing, drainage and gas services are hidden underground or in walls, there is always the possibility that previously unforeseen problems will appear. If this occurs, we will immediately cease work and present you with the revised options that are fully costed and must be approved by you before we continue;
• Once the work is completed, we will clean up the area we have been working in before we leave and dispose of all rubbish off-site so that the only reminder of our being there is a job completed;
