In need of a reliable plumber?
Done right.

The average cost for a plumber is around €75 per hour including VAT. For emergency jobs, the hourly rate is around €98 per hour including VAT. The final price depends on the specific job, the materials required, and how urgent the situation is.

At Zoofy, our rates are based on the averages charged by professional plumbers, so you won’t face unpleasant surprises. Many jobs on Zoofy can be booked for a fixed price or an estimated price. There are no call-out fees, so you always know what to expect in advance. Zoofy works with fixed, transparent rates per job. On our website you can instantly see what a plumber typically costs, with no hidden charges.

With Zoofy, you see an estimated price per job upfront, including VAT and without hidden costs. Fixing leaks typically costs around €75 per hour. For clearing blockages, a fixed price of €109 is often used, though this may be slightly higher in urgent or exceptional cases.

Installing sanitary fixtures, such as a sink or toilet, is usually priced as a fixed fee per item. The exact price depends on the size of the job, any material costs, and whether it involves emergency work or weekend service. You always get a clear indication when booking, so there are no surprises.

With Zoofy, you pay no call-out fees, because we work with local plumbers. For emergency jobs, you select “today” and we immediately show the corresponding rate before you book. If no plumber picks up the job, you can postpone it to the next day.

For next-day jobs, we charge a slightly higher rate, because most professionals need to adjust their schedule.

Yes, all prices you see on Zoofy are including VAT. That may sound obvious, but in practice many plumbers outside Zoofy still communicate rates excluding VAT, which often causes confusion and unexpected costs afterwards.

With Zoofy, you’re fully informed about the total price from the start. That way you know exactly what to expect, without fine print or hidden surcharges.

In principle, you don’t need to request a quote on Zoofy, because most rates are set in advance as an hourly rate, fixed price, or estimated price and are shown transparently on the website. If you still want a price estimate or formal quote beforehand, you can simply mention this in your job description.

For jobs valued at €500 or more, we can send a formal quote together with the professional, which is checked in advance by our Expert Team.

If a professional first visits to inspect and assess the job, you always pay the standard rate of one hour, even if you decide not to accept the quote. If you do accept it afterwards, this amount can be deducted from the total. This keeps things fair and clear for everyone.

At Zoofy, a quote is only prepared for larger jobs, always in consultation with the professional. Such a quote clearly specifies both the expected labor hours and material costs. This way you know exactly what to expect and what your job will cost.

If the situation changes on site and this affects the price, the plumber will always discuss it with you first before continuing. So you never face surprises and keep control over the costs.

With Zoofy, you don’t have to compare quotes yourself. Our Expert Team reviews the quote together with the professional, so you can be sure the rate is fair and realistic. We use insights from thousands of jobs and more than 10 years of experience.

We check whether the proposed price matches the scope of the job and whether materials and hours are correctly estimated. So you don’t need to compare multiple providers—we do that thinking for you.

No, with Zoofy you only pay afterwards once the job has been successfully completed. A deposit is therefore almost never required.

Only in rare cases, and in consultation with both the professional and the customer, a large job may be paid in parts—typically when a lot of materials are involved. In such cases a deposit may be requested, always in agreement with Zoofy to keep the process fair and transparent.

A plumber helps with a wide range of jobs in and around your home. Think of fixing leaks, installing taps, clearing drains, installing sanitary fixtures like toilets and sinks, and laying or replacing pipes.

You can also hire a plumber for specialist work such as repairing zinc work and gutters, or connecting a rainwater downpipe. In short: everything related to water, drainage, or piping falls within a plumber’s field of work.

Yes. Through Zoofy, you can easily hire a plumber for various tasks such as installing or replacing sanitary fixtures, carrying out zinc work on gutters or downpipes, and solving sewer problems.

Whether it’s a blockage, a leak, or installing a new drain, Zoofy matches you with a professional who has the right specialization. That way you can be sure your job is done properly.

With Zoofy, you don’t select an individual plumber yourself. Instead, based on your location and job description, we automatically choose reliable local professionals who fit your request. Once a professional accepts your job, you’ll immediately receive their details, including their rating and reviews.

If you’re still unsure after seeing that information, feel free to contact Zoofy—we’re happy to think along with you.

Techniek Nederland is a Dutch trade association that stands for craftsmanship, reliability, and quality. Many plumbers working via Zoofy are members of this organization.

For many self-employed professionals, membership can be expensive, which is often the main reason they don’t join. For plumbers, a Zoofy membership—including our screening process and the “selected by Zoofy” quality mark supported by customer reviews—is often more relevant.

Zoofy only works with screened and tested professionals who hold certificates and quality marks that meet national standards, depending on the type of job. In addition, plumbers are continuously evaluated through internal customer reviews. This ensures you get a high-quality professional for your job.

With Zoofy, you always know exactly who will show up. We don’t work like other platforms that forward your details to many plumbers who then bid on your job. That approach can lead to lots of calls and uncertainty about who will actually come.

Zoofy works fundamentally differently. We select the best-matching professional for your job and stay involved at every step—from posting the request to execution, invoicing, and aftercare. This ensures a reliable, pre-checked plumber and a smooth process from start to finish.

We verify for you whether a plumber is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and actively working locally in your area. Only professionals who meet these requirements are admitted to the platform and can take on jobs.

All reviews in the Zoofy plumber category are verified and come from customers who actually booked a job and rated the professional afterwards.

With Zoofy, you are automatically covered by a legal warranty period of two months on installation and assembly jobs. This warranty is provided by the professional who performs the work. That means you can contact the plumber for repairs or solutions if issues arise within that period.

Want extra security beyond the standard warranty? Then you can choose the Zoofy Warranty Package. For a small fee per job, this gives you extra protection, such as support in disputes, help with complaints handling, and additional warranty on labor and materials. You can easily select this optional package in the final step of the request form.

Beyond legal requirements, Zoofy makes insurance mandatory. All plumbers on Zoofy are checked in advance for valid liability insurance. Because Zoofy can’t continuously monitor every policy, it’s wise to double-check if you’re unsure (for example, by asking the professional).

If damage occurs during the job, report it immediately to the plumber or via Zoofy. In principle, damage is compensated through the professional’s insurance, as long as the job was fully carried out via Zoofy. If you have issues with the professional or are unhappy with the work, contact Zoofy and file a complaint—preferably as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours after receiving the invoice.

Zoofy automatically engages the nearest available plumber. As a result, someone can often be at your door within an hour. Please note that emergency jobs involve additional costs. These rates are clearly shown when booking an emergency request.

Yes. Through Zoofy you can submit an emergency job 24/7. We immediately show your request to plumbers who are active at that moment, including evenings and weekends.

With Zoofy, you always pay afterwards. Only when the job has been completed to your satisfaction do you receive the invoice and a payment link. Under our terms, we pay the professional on average 29 days after the job.

If something isn’t right, you can always inform us.

All payments are secure and digital via Zoofy. You pay through the plumber’s Zoofy App using a QR code, or via a payment link sent to you by email.

Never pay the professional directly in cash or via other methods such as Tikkie. If you do, our service and warranty no longer apply, and the professional may receive a significant fine.
