Plumbing quotes are hard to compare because pipes, fittings and labour are often bundled per bathroom. GenuineRate separates them, checks pipes, fittings and sanitaryware against market prices, and flags what the quote leaves vague.
Every line is compared with brand price lists and researched rates for your city. You get what's overpriced, what's missing, questions to ask, and a polite message to send.
Common overcharges
Pipe brand and class not stated
CPVC and UPVC pipes come in different pressure classes and brands at very different prices. The quote should name both.
Fittings counted generously
Elbows, tees and couplers add up. Ask for counts per bathroom, not a lump sum.
Sanitaryware and taps above MRP
Check the model numbers on the quote against the brand's price list — dealers usually sell below MRP.
No pressure test
Concealed lines should be pressure-tested before tiling, so leaks are found before the walls are closed. Make sure it's included.
Concealed pipes and labour for one bathroom typically cost ₹15,000–₹30,000 per bathroom, before sanitaryware and taps, which vary widely with brand.
What does a plumber charge per day?
A plumber typically charges ₹800–₹1,200 per day. Day rates suit small jobs; for a full bathroom, a fixed price per bathroom is easier to compare.
CPVC or UPVC for concealed pipes?
As general guidance, CPVC is used where hot water runs and UPVC for cold water. Ask your plumber which pipe goes where, and get the brand and class written in the quote.
