## Answer

Plumber charges in Kolkata run at the pan-India base. For a per-day basis (common on multi-day site jobs), expect ₹500–₹2,200/day depending on experience. Freshers charge at the lower end; senior plumbers running a small team price at the upper end.

For per-job pricing (standard residential fixes), small work is ₹200–₹600 (tap fix, minor repair, single install), mid-sized work is ₹600–₹2,000 (multiple installs, larger repairs), and big jobs like full-room refits are ₹2,500–₹10,000 (labour only — materials always separate).

Commission-based apps mark up Kolkata rates by 15–30% over the direct rate. On a ₹500 tap fix, that's ₹75–₹150 extra you pay for zero extra service. Going direct through a zero-commission platform like Solve24 keeps the price at the plumber's quoted rate.
