Every step of the way was smooth. Reception was kind and quick, the plumber was kind and quick. Everything went well and smoothly.
I had a toilette with a loose tank that had some added challenges to fix because of its own design. I'm happy to report that the plumber took care of it no problem!
Many thanks!

Excellent plumber. Arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and completed the repair professionally. The work area was left clean and the price was fair. I would definitely recommend him and use his services again.

Great service! From the moment I called the booking process was so easy. Levi showed up on time, explained everything to me and got to work. He checked for leaks 3 times to be extra careful and left the work area spotless.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Jarod from Rather Be Plumbing, and I was thoroughly impressed with his level of professionalism. As someone who works in the trades myself, I have high expectations when it comes to workmanship and communication and Jarod exceeded them in every way.
He took the time to clearly explain his HVAC issue and his communication was excellent. He treated us with respect and communicated well.
It is refreshing to deal with a company that prioritizes integrity and customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend Rather Be Plumbing to homeowners and contractors alike, and I look forward to working with Jarod again in the future.
