## Answer

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.

## Frequently asked

### What is the plumber rate per bathroom in India?

₹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%.

### How much does bathroom plumbing installation cost including materials?

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.

### Do plumbers include waterproofing?

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.

### How long does a full bathroom re-plumb take?

3–5 days for demolition, re-pipe and fixture install (excluding tile work). Full bathroom renovation with tiles + waterproofing: 10–14 days.

### Should I buy fixtures myself or through the plumber?

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.
