Booking a plumber on Mozome
This guide is for anyone in Australia who needs a plumber: for a blocked drain, a leaking pipe, a new tap or toilet, or a hot water system. It covers the plumbing services listed on Mozome, what they cost, how booking and payment work, and how to choose a plumber.
Mozome is an online marketplace where you find, book and pay for local home services. Providers list their own services and set their own prices.
What’s included
Plumbing on Mozome is listed under these services, each with its own page of services and providers near you.
Drain Cleaning
Clearing blocked or slow sinks, showers, toilets and stormwater drains, with tools such as drain augers and high-pressure water jetters. Tell the provider which drains are affected and whether it has happened before.
Pipe Repair & Replacement
Fixing leaking, burst or corroded water pipes, or replacing old sections. Signs include damp patches on walls or ceilings, a drop in water pressure, or a water bill that is higher than usual. Describe where you see the problem and when it started.
Water Heater Installation
Installing or replacing a hot water system: electric, gas, heat pump or solar, with a storage tank or continuous flow. Tell the provider the type and size of your current system and where it is. Gas units also need a licensed gas fitter, so ask whether the provider holds that licence.
Sewer Line Services
Work on the pipe that carries waste from your home to the sewer: blockages from tree roots, cracked or collapsed pipes, and inspections. This work can involve digging, so ask how the provider will find the problem and what happens to the price if more work is needed.
Fixture Installation
Installing or replacing taps, toilets, showers, basins, sinks and similar fittings. Check whether the price covers the fitting itself or only the labour, and whether the provider takes the old one away.
Each service is described by the provider who lists it, and two services with the same name can cover different work, so read the description before you book.
What plumbing costs
There aren’t enough plumbing services listed on Mozome in Australia yet to give a fair price range from the listings.
Each provider sets their own prices, and you see the price of a service before you book.
What you pay depends mostly on:
- the type of job and how long it takes
- parts and fittings, and whether they are included in the price
- access: pipes under floors, inside walls or underground take longer to reach
- any call-out or minimum charge the provider has
- urgent bookings, if the provider prices them differently
How booking and payment work
You see the price first
The price of a service is shown before you book, so you know what you are agreeing to.
At least 24 hours’ notice
Bookings need at least 24 hours’ notice, unless you mark the booking as urgent.
Paying by card
You pay by card through Stripe. If a service asks for an advance, you pay it when you book. The balance is paid after the job, by card or, where the provider offers it, in cash.
If the provider doesn’t respond
If the provider doesn’t respond to your booking in time, the booking is cancelled and you get a full refund.
If you cancel, how much of what you paid by card comes back depends on how long before the job you cancel:
| You cancel | Refund |
|---|---|
| 24 hours or more before the job | 100% |
| 12 to 24 hours before | 75% |
| 6 to 12 hours before | 50% |
| 2 to 6 hours before | 25% |
| Less than 2 hours before | No refund |
Verified providers are marked
Providers who have been verified are marked as verified. Providers who haven’t been verified yet are listed too, so look for the marking when you compare.
Reviews come from bookings
Ratings and reviews come from completed bookings.
If water is leaking now
Turn off the water at the main tap, usually near the water meter, before you book. Marking a booking as urgent lets you book with less than 24 hours’ notice.
How to choose a plumber
Check the licence
In Australia, most plumbing and drainage work must be done by a licensed plumber, and gas work needs its own licence. Licences are issued by each state and territory: ask the provider for their licence number and check it on the public register.
Read the reviews
Look for comments about jobs like yours, such as drains or hot water.
Describe the problem clearly
Say what is happening, where, and since when, and mention anything you have already tried. For an installation, give the make or size of what you want fitted.
Check what the price includes
Whether parts are included, whether there is a call-out or minimum charge, and what happens if the plumber finds more work once they start.
