Need to get a pipe unblocked in my bathroom, i've tried the usual unblocking methods (snake, caustic soda etc). What would be an acceptable fee?

Im strapped for cash so i would like to know how much to budget.

Have you tried Mr Muscle. These products are very good and are available at most outlets. They do a wide range. I use there
Mr Muscle Dual Force Foamer which works. They do others.
Try Tesco they have quite a few.

If you find you can't get the pipe unblocked. Phone The Institute of Plumbing and Heating. Phone Number 01708 472 791

The Institute of Plumbing and Heating will be able to recommend someone to you in your area. At least you will know that the plumber they recommend will be qualified and will not over charge you.

You could always ask family and friends. Someone might be able to recommend a plumber to you that they have used.

In my area $82 per hour during regular work hours. Ask the question again with more detail and perhaps an answerer can suggest a fix without calling the plumber. For example, it is problem with a drain pipe; is it the tub/shower, lavatory or toilet; if a lavatory have you removed the trap underneath; have you tried liquid plumber according to directions?

It depends - some do a free call out, but then you're going to make up their money in labour. As someone's already said, your best bet would be dynarod, but it may be worth trying bicarb soda and vinegar mixed down there before making the call - according to those women off the tv, it's the best thing for a blocked drain.

Try Dyna-Rod. They are part of British Gas and you can contact them on freephone 0800 112 112.

If they are too expensive for a small job they may be able to recommend another company.

I have just found Homeserve on the net under plumbers, they give you a quote online, give it a try. That is if you are in England.
