Plumbing costs in Kenya vary depending on the type of work, materials used, and location. In cities like Mbita, Kisumu, and Homabay, labour rates typically range from Ksh 1,500 to Ksh 5,000 per day for a qualified plumber.
For common jobs, here is a rough guide: fixing a leaking tap can cost between Ksh 500 and Ksh 2,000, while unblocking a drain may range from Ksh 1,000 to Ksh 3,500. Installing a bathroom suite (toilet, shower, and basin) can range from Ksh 15,000 to Ksh 50,000 depending on the fixtures chosen.
Water tank installation is one of the most common plumbing jobs in Kenya. A 5,000-litre tank with a stand and all pipework can cost between Ksh 40,000 and Ksh 80,000. Underground tanks are more expensive due to excavation costs.
New construction plumbing — piping an entire house — typically costs between Ksh 80,000 and Ksh 250,000 depending on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. This includes the cost of PPR or PVC pipes, fittings, valves, and labour.
