Frequently asked questions 👇
As a guide, expect a call-out fee from around R450. This covers the Pro's travel and time to assess the job and quote, and it's all you pay if you decide not to go ahead. Standard repairs like pipes, taps, fittings and drain unblocking start at about R750 including the first hour of labour, plus materials, with certified gas work from roughly R850 for repairs and around R1,450 for installations. Specialised equipment jobs are flat-priced, at about R1,850 for a drain camera inspection and roughly R1,950 for leak detection, and a full geyser installation runs at around R2,850 in labour. Kandua Pros use these rates as a guide and quote competitively, so your final price is confirmed upfront.
With pools, irrigation, long supply runs, and often a borehole in the mix, plumbers work systematically: isolating zones, then using acoustic listening equipment, tracer gas, or thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak before any excavation. It's precision work that costs more upfront but avoids digging up landscaping on a guess.
Yes, many pros on Kandua in Sandton take after-hours and weekend work. Emergency and after-hours jobs are typically charged at around 1.5–2× the standard labour rate, so confirm the pricing and what counts as after-hours with your Pro before they head to your address.
Every pro on Kandua is vetted before they can quote on jobs, and their reviews come from verified customers in and around Sandton, not anonymous ratings. Jess, Kandua's AI home companion, also helps you scope the job properly first, so you're matched with a plumber who actually does that type of work.

How much does it cost to hire a Plumber in Sandton?
Plumbers in Sandton: what to know before you book
Good plumbing is invisible, which is exactly why problems feel so urgent when they surface. Whether it's a leak you can hear but not see, a geyser on its last legs, or a bathroom renovation, the right professional makes all the difference.
Kandua connects you with vetted plumbers working in and around Sandton, with guide rates published so you know what to expect.
A few quick answers (so you don't have to scroll)
How do I choose a good plumber?
Look for someone who diagnoses before quoting, explains the cause of the problem, prices transparently, and carries the right registration for specialised work like gas.
What does a plumber cost on Kandua?
As a guide, a call-out starts from around R450, standard repairs from about R750 including the first hour, certified gas repairs from roughly R850, and flat installation prices up to around R4,500. Your Pro confirms the exact price upfront.
Is my leaking geyser an emergency?
Treat it as one. Close the cold-water supply to the geyser, switch off its electrical isolator, and book a plumber promptly. Fast action limits ceiling and water damage.
In Sandton: what local homes typically need
Sandton is home to Africa's richest square mile and its residential surrounds, and its homes are high-spec properties, secure estates, luxury apartments and clusters. Around Morningside, Rivonia and Sandown, that local character shapes the plumber work that comes up most often.
Sandton homes feature multiple bathrooms, quality fittings and irrigation, so plumbing work here prizes neatness and correct parts. Leak detection across large properties and premium geyser and heat pump installations are common briefs.
Sandton's multi-bathroom homes and premium fittings make correct parts and neat finishes non-negotiable, and heat pump adoption runs ahead of the national curve here. Property transactions at this level scrutinise every certificate.
From Atholl to Hurlingham, Kandua's vetted plumbers cover the greater Sandton area, and Jess matches you with pros who actually work your streets, not just your city.
Common plumbing problems (and what they usually mean)
Around Morningside, Rivonia and the rest of Sandton, these are the plumbing complaints pros hear most, and what each one usually means.
"My water bill jumped"
An unexplained increase usually means water going where it shouldn't: a hidden leak underground, under a floor, or in a wall. Professional leak detection with acoustic or gas equipment, at about R1,950 as a guide, finds it without digging up the garden on a hunch.
"My drain keeps blocking"
Repeat blockages point to a cause: roots in the line, a collapsed or bellied section, or a buildup that rodding alone won't clear. Unblocking runs at about R750 as a guide including the first hour and rodding, and a camera inspection at around R1,850 shows exactly what's happening down there.
"My geyser is leaking, overflowing or tripping the power"
Geysers fail with warning signs: dripping overflow pipes, rumbling, lukewarm water, or tripping breakers. Repairs start from about R750 as a guide; a full replacement runs around R2,850 in labour, excluding the unit.
"Low water pressure everywhere"
Whole-house pressure loss suggests a supply-side issue, a failing pressure valve, or corroded old pipes narrowing from the inside. A plumber isolates which, then quotes the fix upfront.
Where DIY ends and the plumber begins
A careful homeowner can handle the small stuff: a washer, a trap, a flapper valve, always with the water off and the main shut-off located first. That short list is worth knowing.
Everything else, especially geysers, gas, in-wall leaks and drainage, is professional work. Standard repairs from about R750 including the first hour are cheap compared to the water damage a wrong move causes.
Compliance in South Africa: what matters and when
For Sandton homeowners, these are the certificates and registrations that matter, whether you're buying, selling or upgrading a home in Sandown or anywhere nearby.
1) The Plumbing CoC
A water installation certificate is required at transfer in several municipalities and sensible everywhere. Guide pricing on Kandua is about R850 for the inspection.
2) PIRB
PIRB registration marks a qualified plumber, and some certified work specifically requires a registered plumber's sign-off. Asking about it costs nothing and tells you plenty.
3) Gas: no shortcuts
Only registered gas installers may legally work on gas installations. Kandua guide rates are from about R850 for certified gas repairs and around R1,450 for installations, certificate included in doing the job right.
4) Solar and heat pumps
These installations must meet standard for safety and insurance. As a guide, budget about R3,850 in labour for a solar geyser and around R4,500 for a heat pump installation.
5) Where electrical compliance sneaks in
Hot water systems connect to your electrical installation, so changes can touch the electrical CoC as well. Good pros raise this upfront.

- After hours: typically around 1.5 to 2 times standard rates as a guide, with emergency pricing confirmed upfront.
- Materials: quoted separately, from washers to the geyser unit itself.
A realistic small-job budget is the first-hour repair rate plus materials. Bundling repairs into one visit is the easiest saving in plumbing.
