Toilet Choke Clearing Singapore Price & HDB Pipe Leak Repair Cost

In a high-rise city like Singapore, a plumbing failure is never just your problem—it can quickly affect your downstairs neighbours, turning a simple clog into a major emergency. Whether it's a slow-draining kitchen sink or a fully choked toilet, the need for a fast, reliable, and professional fix is urgent.

At Handyman.sg, we specialise in urgent, HDB-compliant plumbing repairs, from simple tap replacements to complex concealed pipe leak detection. We believe in upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before we even touch a wrench.

This guide details the difference between simple DIY fixes and professional jobs, and gives you a clear price range for the most common plumbing headaches in Singapore homes.

When Plumbing Emergencies Strike

Transparent Plumbing Price Guide

The cost for plumbing services in Singapore is generally determined by the complexity of the choke/leak and whether it involves breaking through walls or floors

Choke Clearing Services (Flat-Rate Jobs)
These services are typically quoted as a flat rate, which includes transport and labour for standard issues. Severe chokes requiring dismantling a toilet bowl or using a high-pressure jet may incur an additional charge.

Leak Repair & Fixture Replacement
These jobs can vary widely depending on whether the pipe is visible (exposed) or hidden (concealed).

Note: All prices are estimates for standard operating hours. Emergency (After-Hours/PH) Service Calls typically incur a separate call-out fee ranging from S$150 to S$350 on top of the repair cost.

Most plumbing issues start small. Knowing when you can safely handle a clog and when you need to bring in a PUB-licensed professional is the key to saving money and preventing major water damage.

Bonus Maintenance Tip for Older Flats

• Hot Water Flush: Once a week, pour a kettle of hot (but not boiling) water down your kitchen sink. This helps to melt and flush away minor soap and grease residue before they can harden and cause a severe choke.
