How do you find a plumber in Tbilisi and Batumi, and how much do they charge?
Where to look, how to agree on price and what to check.
Short answer
In Tbilisi and Batumi, plumbers are found through plumbing repair companies, classifieds sites, social media groups and recommendations from neighbours or your landlord. They usually charge a call-out fee and price the job after inspection, so agree on the price before work starts. If you rent, tell the landlord about the fault right away: who pays for the repair depends on your lease.
Why
- The plumber may bring parts or ask you to buy them at a plumbing shop.
- The urgency of the call can affect the price, so ask about it in advance.
- A photo of the problem helps you explain it to the plumber faster.
Details
For a leak, first shut off the water at the valve where it enters the flat. Pay once you've checked everything works. In a rented flat, report the fault to the landlord at once: by law the tenant must notify the owner of a defect immediately.
Tip
For a leak, first shut off the water at the inlet valve, then call a plumber.
What may differ
