Plumbers are skilled tradespeople and one of the most requested home services for fixing clogs and leaks. Even though they won't necessarily expect a tip, giving your plumber a little cash shows how much you value their hard work. Tip amounts can vary depending on the plumbing services and job difficulty, so we’ll cover when it’s appropriate to tip your plumber and what to give them if you can’t afford to spare the extra cash.
Things You Should Know
- You don’t need to tip plumbers, but consider leaving one if the work was well done, if the job took longer than expected, or if they responded to an emergency.
- Give plumbers a 10–15% tip of the total bill if you’re happy with the service.
- Offer food and drinks, recommend the plumber to friends and family, and leave a review online as an alternative to a monetary tip.
