A tap that drips all night or a toilet that keeps refilling is too annoying to live with and, frustratingly, often the hardest kind of job to get booked in. Send Vofix the details and we will look for a local plumber in the Vofix network with availability for that sort of work.
Three quick details — your postcode, what needs doing and a number to ring you back on. It costs nothing to ask and you are never tied into booking.
Would rather talk it through?
Vofix is a matching service that connects customers with independent local plumbers. The plumber will confirm availability, pricing and the scope of work directly with you before work begins.
Availability varies by area and by day, so attendance is always subject to plumber availability. Vofix does not set or control the prices plumbers charge.
Half an hour of work can still mean an hour of driving, parking and paperwork, so a single dripping tap rarely fits neatly into a plumber’s day. Add in a full diary of bathrooms and boiler work and the small stuff quietly drifts to the bottom of the list. That is why so many people end up ringing five numbers for a job that takes twenty minutes.
Vofix does that ringing round for you. You describe the job once and we look through the local plumbers in our network for someone who covers your postcode and has room for a short visit. Where a plumber prefers to group short visits into one run, that is the kind of match we are looking for.
There is no minimum job size, and no cost to submit one. Whether a plumber is available depends on the day, the area and how busy they are — we will tell you honestly where things stand rather than leaving you waiting.
None of this is essential, but it often shortens the visit and can stop a small problem getting worse while you wait.
If water is coming out faster than you can catch it, treat it as urgent: turn the stopcock off and see our emergency plumbing page.
Most plumbers price a short visit either as a call-out that covers the first period on site, or as an hourly rate with a minimum charge. A washer change and a tap swap are very different jobs, so the range is wide. Our price guide sets out typical Midlands figures for tap and toilet repairs so you know roughly what to expect before you ask.
Vofix does not set prices and does not take a cut of the work. The plumber quotes you directly, and you are free to say no.
Guide prices are general Midlands figures, not quotations. Always confirm the price with the plumber before work begins.

No. A single dripping tap or a toilet that will not stop running is worth submitting. Small repairs are some of the most common enquiries we receive, and whether a plumber can take it on depends on availability in your area rather than the size of the job.
Usually, yes. Most plumbers work to a call-out charge or a minimum first hour, because the travel takes longer than the repair. Ask whether labour is included in the call-out fee when the plumber quotes you.
See typical guide prices →That is often the most economical way to do it. List everything in your enquiry — the tap, the toilet, the radiator valve — and the plumber can price the visit as a whole rather than coming back twice.
It depends on the plumber. Many carry common washers, valves and flush parts on the van; others will price the parts into the job or ask you to supply a specific tap you have chosen. Agree this with the plumber before they start.
We start looking as soon as your enquiry arrives, but everyday repairs are normally booked in rather than attended immediately, and it is always subject to plumber availability. If the leak is getting worse, say so in your enquiry.
