What do most plumbers charge per hour?

Most plumbers will charge anywhere from $40 to $200 per hour, depending on the type of job, the time of the work, the location of the work, and the expertise of the plumber. Licensed and insured plumbers will cost more on average, but it will cost you more in the long run if you use an unlicensed professional who makes a costly mistake.

Master plumbers will charge more per hour because they have spent years pursuing mastery, and they're an expert on all things plumbing related. You can trust a master plumber to understand, repair, and maintain most types of plumbing systems without additional assistance. Alternatively, an apprentice plumber will charge less per hour but will be under the supervision of a plumber with more experience.

Additionally, the cost per hour will depend on your location. Plumbers who work in areas with lower costs of living will typically charge less per hour than plumbers who work in areas with higher costs of living.

Last, if you're hiring a plumber for an emergency situation, the plumber who charges per hour might charge double or triple their normal amount if they have to work after hours, on the weekend, or during a holiday.
