Quick answer
A plumber charges ₹2,500–₹8,000 for a full new bathroom fitting (labour only, all pipes + connections) in India (2026). Individual fixtures: WC ₹500–₹1,500, basin ₹300–₹800, shower/mixer ₹250–₹700, geyser install ₹500–₹1,200. Fixtures + tiles + fittings materials are all separate.
Bathroom plumbing labour in India is typically per-fixture or as a package. A full new bathroom fitting — all pipes, angle valves, waste line, WC connection, basin, shower/mixer, and geyser — is ₹2,500–₹8,000 in labour. This is at pan-India base rates; metros (Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi) add 25–30% and top out around ₹10,400 for the same package.
For a partial job (replacing one fixture, moving a pipe), pricing is per-fixture: WC installation ₹500–₹1,500 (higher if concealed cistern), basin install ₹300–₹800, shower + hot/cold mixer ₹250–₹700, geyser install with wiring check ₹500–₹1,200. Angle valve replacement is ₹100–₹250 per valve.
Full-bathroom demolition + re-plumb (as part of a bathroom renovation) is ₹5,000–₹15,000 labour, plus ₹15,000–₹50,000 in fixtures (WC, basin, mixer, geyser, mirror, cabinet) and ₹8,000–₹30,000 in tiles/plaster/waterproofing.
Commission-based apps mark up bathroom plumbing 25–40% because ticket sizes are large. Direct via zero-commission Solve24 saves ₹500–₹2,000 on a typical mid-size job.

| Fixture / Job | Base rate (₹) | Metro rate (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angle valve replace (per valve) | 100–250 | 130–325 | |
| Tap / mixer replace | 150–400 | 195–520 | Plus tap cost |
| Basin installation | 300–800 | 390–1,040 | Wall or counter type |
| WC installation (standard) | 500–1,200 | 650–1,560 | Concealed cistern: +₹500 |
| Shower + hot/cold mixer | 250–700 | 325–910 | |
| Geyser installation | 500–1,200 | 650–1,560 | Includes wiring check |
| Concealed pipe run | 400–1,200/run | 520–1,560/run | Wall/floor chasing extra |
| Full bathroom fitting (package) | 2,500–8,000 | 3,250–10,400 | Labour only |
| Full renovation demolition + re-plumb | 5,000–15,000 | 6,500–19,500 |
₹2,500–₹8,000 labour for a full new bathroom fitting; ₹5,000–₹15,000 for a full renovation with demolition and re-plumb. Metros add 25–30%.
Labour ₹2,500–₹8,000 + fixtures ₹15,000–₹50,000 (WC, basin, mixer, geyser) + tiles/waterproofing ₹8,000–₹30,000. Total: ₹30,000–₹90,000 for a mid-tier finish.
Not usually — waterproofing is a mason job, quoted separately at ₹35–₹80/sqft. A plumber does pipe layout; the mason does the waterproofing membrane and tile prep.
3–5 days for demolition, re-pipe and fixture install (excluding tile work). Full bathroom renovation with tiles + waterproofing: 10–14 days.
Buying yourself saves 8–15% (skipping the plumber's supplier margin). But the plumber can source with same-day availability at a plumbing supply market. For premium brands (Jaquar, Kohler, Grohe), buying yourself is significantly cheaper.
