Jeff and Liam came today to repair a blocked hot water tap and help take out a corroded old top and replace it with a new one. They were awesome from start to finish. They clearly know their stuff they told us step-by-step what they were doing And confirm the price before getting to work. And the price was great. I also found it super easy to book online. The next time I have a plumbing problem, I will definitely call. Amazing service!

Marcus did a great job fixing our guest bathroom sink. Was not draining and the plunge stopper was rusted and broken. He fixed the drainage issues and replaced the stopper assembly. Clean, courteous, polite and prompt. Will use again.

*Posting this review on behalf of my father, John, who had work completed about two weeks ago* I had a fantastic experience with John the Plumber, specifically with Michael. He was patient, professional, clean, knowledgeable, and honest throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything, completed the repair quickly and thoroughly, and made sure everything was done properly. The estimate provided was exactly on the money, which was greatly appreciated. It’s clear that Michael takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing great service. I have recommended John the Plumber & Michael to my friends and family!
