For emergency plumbing repairs in Exeter, I can usually get to you immediately. Reliable, affordable, and fully insured.

BDJ Plumbing Services was established in 2015. I'm a local plumber in Exeter and I was born and raised in the City.
When I left school I trained as a plumber in Exeter with a local firm and did a day release 4 year apprenticeship at Exeter college. After this I went on to work at a number of plumbing companies in Exeter. In 2015 I decided to set up my own business, specialising in small domestic plumbing jobs.
I believe local businesses are the way forward and I always like to use local tradesmen whenever I can. I have over 18 years experience and am efficient, hard working and reliable. After every job I always clear up and leave the area where I've worked clean and tidy.
I also have an up-to-date Health & Safety Certificate.
I mainly take care of the smaller plumbing problems and emergencies you may have. Common issues such as burst pipes, toilet repair, leaks, blockages, taps, toilets, showers, basins radiator fitting or repairs etc.
I take on bigger projects like bathrooms, when the demand for smaller plumbing jobs and emergencies is less. It's usually a seasonal thing.
For emergency plumbing works such as leaks, burst pipes and toilet not flushing, I will get to you as quickly as I can. Because I'm a local plumber in Exeter and live in the St. James/Pennsylvania area I can get to you quicker, St. David's also.
A common plumbing emergency that I have to deal with is burst flexible tap connectors (usually on the hot side). As you can see from the photo, the braided steel has frayed and the rubber tube underneath had split, causing it to burst and flood the customers kitchen. If you have these hoses on any of your connections to your taps or toilet, it's best to check them from time to time. If they're beginning to fray or go brown, it would be a good idea to get them changed, roughly every 5 years or so to be safe.

Here I give you some common plumbing jobs and a good idea of what you'd expect to pay to have the works carried out.
I have included the cost of materials within the price, but every job is different and this could sometimes vary slightly, depending on what I need and ease/difficulty of access, but generally these prices are fairly accurate.
*Please note that the prices below are pretty accurate but can vary depending on your location and how far I have to travel + materials if needed*
For small plumbing repairs and installs in normal working hours (9am–5pm) the first hour (including call-out) is ~ £75 plus parts. I am not VAT registered so the total cost is just that.
The next hour and thereafter is reduced to ~ £60 but in 15 minute increments (£15 per 15 minutes).
For plumbing emergencies the cost for the first hour (including call-out) is £150 (minimum charge) and then £100ph thereafter in 15 minute increments. Out of hours work will be more.
My day rate is ~ £350.
For larger jobs lasting over a day or more, I can give you a free no obligation quote or estimate.
Payment methods I accept: Card, Cash, BACS, PayPal and occasionally Cheques.
If you have a dripping tap and it's a conventional type operation, the washers will need changing and possibly the seat may need re-seating too. However, if you have a lever type tap with quarter turn operation, the ceramic disc valve(s) will need replacing which vary in sizes and cost.
Is your toilet not flushing properly or is water continuously running down the pan? Then your toilet needs some plumbing attention. I should be able to fix it within an hour, unless you have a close-coupled WC where the pan is connected to the cistern. This takes extra time because the pan and cistern have to be separated and a replacement coupling kit fitted.
Occasionally more than one part will need replacing within the cistern at the same time, so the cost can vary. Again, the cost can vary a lot with toilet repairs and will come down to what type of toilet you have, what the problem is, ease of access and how quickly I can get it fixed + materials needed.
For a standard outside garden tap installed, provided there is an easily accessible cold water source to connect into. Cost of the tap, wall plate & pipe, double check valve, isolation valve, compression fittings, pipe sleeve and fixtures would come to about £40. Labour would cost £110.
If you would like the tap situated in a different spot, this will cost a little more because I'd have to run more pipe work.
This is for an electric shower, straight swap, without any re-plumbing or pipe work to be changed. If you would like me to supply the shower too, the cost of the unit would be added to this price. I always install Mira showers, because they're good quality, built to last and I've never had a problem with them. Alternatively, I am happy to fit any shower that you have bought.
Time for a new basin mixer tap or a pair of basin taps? This can be a straight forward job or very tricky. Depending on access, and if the bolt is fused to the threaded rod from being exposed to water and rust. Again, if you supply your own tap(s) and want me to fit it/them, I'm happy to do so.
If your sink tap has seen better days, then it could be time for a new one. Depending on your type of tap and it's current state, it can be a good idea to buy a new one rather than spending money on replacing the tap cartridges.
If the tap is in good condition but is a bit stiff or dripping, then it could just need washer replacements or a service. £90 is the estimated/average price for labour to replace the tap, depending on difficulty and ease of access. Materials would be added on, if any.
Bath taps old and worn out? Or maybe you need an upgrade or change of style? I can do this for you, provided there is sufficient access for me to work down at the tap end of the bath. The cost of this job can vary depending on what type of system you have. A high pressure system will be quicker because the mains water just needs to be isolated.
Whereas a gravity fed system will take longer, depending on isolation and whether the tank in the roof needs to be bunged, so this system will be towards the higher end of the price.
Is your overflow pipe continuously running? Then you could need your ball valve changing. It's more economical to change the whole valve because there are a series of small washers inside it and if I just changed the faulty washer, another could perish shortly afterwards meaning another call back. So the price of the job is inclusive of me supplying and fitting the new valve.

Fantastic honest and reliable service from Ben. Fair pricing and very competent. Ben was thorough in his work and helpful in explaining what he was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone who wants a small plumbing job around the home done. I would give him 5 stars.
I would definitely recommend Ben. He is a friendly. Fast service, efficient and excellent quality work. I will definitely call him again for any plumbing needs.
Great service by a very nice guy. Recommend highly.
I had Ben around to my property to fix a number of issues I had with plumbing which he done with ease and at a very good price. Top man thank you so much.
Fantastic job, Ben was very obliging and went all out to help sort out my plumbing issues. He is very polite, professional and efficient, good price too! I would certainly have him back. Cheers.
Ben was wonderful from start to finish, fast, clean and efficient service, great price, will happily recommend to my friends and family and will definitely remember to call him if I ever need a plumber again. Thanks Ben, you were fantastic.
Ben has been to do a few jobs in my bathroom he is polite and professional did an amazing job clean tidy could not ask for a better plumber will ask him every time I need a plumber thank you Ben ...
Ben did a superb job both advising on the provision of a new Mira shower to my home and the excellent installation of same. I can very strongly recommend Ben for his professionalism and expertise.
Excellent service replacing a broken electric shower within two days of contacting him. Just when the weather was really hot and we had our son and his young family staying with us. Replaced the old shower without damaging the tiles or leaving any evidence of the old shower fittings. Good price, professional service, can't recommend more highly.
Really nice chap, clean and tidy. Arrived when he said, found the problem, fixed it and didn't leave until he was completely satisfied. Would and will highly recommend and have. Great job done!
I cannot rate Ben highly enough, following a leak that my elderly mother had from her toilet. He attended to the problem within 20 minutes of my initial contact, and although the job proved very challenging, he remained calm, polite and professional throughout the entire process.
He removed the toilet, sourced the required part, and returned to fit it a couple of days later. Thank you again Ben for helping us out at such short notice, and for providing an excellent service....if you need a plumber, then look no further!
Ben came out to attend to an emergency on a Sunday. He was there quickly, fixed the problem and charged a reasonable price. I'd recommend these guys.
Quickly responded, friendly & helpful. Would highly recommend!
Ben responded quickly to my desperate cries for help (running late, work deadlines, toilet flush malfunction - continuous running water and leaks!). I could not fault him! Thanks Ben, hope when I need you again its not quite so desperate!
Ben at BDJ Plumbing is always on hand to answer any questions and always does an amazing job. Would highly recommend him and have told friends and family.
Timely, responsive, careful and appropriate to our needs. Recommended!
Thanks Ben for responding quickly to fix the leak from my loft water tank. Great service and great value for money, always good to find someone who can sort out the small jobs quickly and efficiently.
I called Ben to help with a leak from a waste pipe, we have 'interesting' plumbing in our listed house, he managed to do a temporary repair, and came back the next day to sort properly. He definitely went the extra mile for us, and even sorted our dripping tap. Great price too, highly recommend, thanks Ben!
Excellent job. Ben arrived on time. He assessed the situation and told us exactly what needed to be done with our leaking bathroom sink, quoted a very affordable price and then fixed our problem in under an hour which also included a trip to the suppliers for parts. Ben was also friendly and professional. Would use again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you.
I contacted Ben to help us resolve a nasty smell in our down stairs cloakroom with our toilet which had got worse over time. Ben came and discovered that our previous trade's person had incompetently installed the toilet after putting new flooring down.
They had made quite a mess of the whole plumbing situation. Ben came across a number of issues and had to pop out to purchase various new parts, but most importantly stuck with the problem and challenges upon him for the whole afternoon until it was properly fixed to his and our satisfaction. If he wasn't totally satisfied with a fitting or part he would go back to the store and exchange it for something more suitable. Clearly an experienced and methodical plumber who wasn't happy to accept second best. Reliable, turned up on time, did the job to an extremely high standard, very polite and personable and charged good rates. What else can you say? A nice guy all round who clearly takes pride in what he does and nothing is too much trouble. Thanks Ben and keep up the good work. Especially during these challenging Covid-19 times.
Absolutely amazing. I have only great things to say about Ben; amazing response time, super professional and polite, very fair prices, and he did a superb job on installing a new electric shower. He even bought the electric shower for me which was so helpful. Would recommend for anyone in Exeter, you can't go wrong here. Ben will definitely be our go to plumber from now on!
I'd had a bit of a nightmare recently with various issues with my toilet, that other plumbers just hadn't bothered to get back to me on. I called Ben and he was very thorough on the phone to try to put me at ease and to see if it could be resolved by me.
He said he could visit either the next day or the following working day, but that he'd call me the following day regardless to update me - and sure enough, he did, and thankfully was able to fit me in that afternoon. He arrived on time, was super helpful and approachable, and managed to fix the various problems quickly - and clearly takes pride in his work. Moreover, the fee was within his estimate on his website, which is always nice! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben, and will definitely call him first if I ever have another plumbing issue!
The leak problem we had is so nasty - the radiator pipe was leaking in the wood door frame, and we have very old convention heating system. Ben was really a life saver, a true hero! He scarified his Friday night, came to rescue - done the superb job to fix the leak issue quickly and professionally. He saved us from sleepless night and massive flooding. Highly recommend!
Would definitely recommend Ben, came to my daughter's arrived on time and did a thoroughly good job.
