Most of what we do is not dramatic — a failed waste trap under a vanity, a worn cartridge, a cistern that will not stop filling. It is the same licensed tradesperson, the same transparent hourly rate and the same $20,000 workmanship guarantee whether it is a twenty-minute repair or a full re-pipe.

Standard plumbing rates in New Zealand run roughly $90–$150 + GST per hour, and most plumbers also charge for travel. At Inline Plumbing, every visit during normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:30am–4:30pm) has a one-hour minimum charge of $161 including GST in Christchurch city, which covers the vehicle travel charge and your first hour on the job. After that it is $100 + GST per hour in 15-minute blocks, plus parts and sundries. After hours, weekends and public holidays the call-out is $280 + GST including the first hour. For larger jobs we can give you a written quote before any work starts.
In New Zealand these are three separately licensed trades. Plumbers handle water supply and sanitary plumbing, gasfitters work on gas lines and appliances, and drainlayers work on drains beyond the building. Many jobs need more than one. Inline covers all three, so you are not coordinating separate contractors.
Yes. Every visit has a one-hour minimum charge, which is what most people think of as the call-out charge. During normal business hours it is $161 including GST in Christchurch city (Zone 1), and $172.50 or $184.00 including GST for outer suburbs and wider Canterbury. It covers the $40 + GST vehicle travel charge and your first hour on the job. After the first hour it is $100 + GST per hour in 15-minute blocks, plus parts and sundries. After hours, weekends and public holidays the call-out is $280 + GST including the first hour on site. We explain the charges when you book.
For genuine emergencies we run 24/7 rapid dispatch and will give you an ETA when you call. For general repairs and maintenance we will book you the next available slot — call 03 377 5806 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

“Johnny and the team at Inline have been such a pleasure to work with for our bathroom renovation. From the start they understood what we wanted and their approach to quality was excellent. Weekly check-ins and visits from Johnny kept us informed, and all our questions were quickly answered. We are very happy in our beautiful new bathroom.”
“We have had a total bathroom renovation. The work ethic and professionalism was outstanding. Johnny, Sarah and the team were fantastic to deal with. Work schedule went absolutely to plan. Everyone involved were hard working and very respectful. So thrilled with the finished job — couldn't be better.”
“Had to call out in the middle of the night and the guy that came out was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to sort what was going on. Highly recommend and will be using again, if needed (hopefully not in the middle of the night again though!!).”
“We had a new heat-pump hot water cylinder installed. The two young plumbers who came out were absolutely fantastic. They were polite, courteous and did really great work. Thanks to Inline and the team for making this process so easy and fast. Would highly recommend.”
“My new bathroom is beyond fabulous. Inline managed the whole process from start to finish, organising absolutely everything. Everyone at the firm from the initial design to the final sign-off by Council was super helpful and I got exactly what I wanted at the highest possible quality. I could not recommend them more highly.”
