Most plumbing disasters are not caused by bad plumbers — they are caused by vague briefs, unverified strangers and prices agreed after the work. This checklist fixes all three in about ten minutes.
1. Check what "verified" means
A phone number alone proves very little. Look for a profile that shows a verified phone, an ID-document check, a rating built from completed jobs and, ideally, photos of past work. On Hi-Partner these appear as the Verified, ID verified and Trusted badges on the worker card.
2. Describe the job with a photo
A picture of the leaking joint or the empty bathroom wall is worth a long phone call. Say what is installed now, what you want done, which floor you are on and whether water can be shut off.
3. Ask these five questions
- Is the quote labour only, or does it include fittings?
- Which pipe and fitting brand will you use, and may I buy them myself?
- How long will the water be off?
- Do you need a helper, and is that in the price?
- What happens if the leak comes back within a week?
4. Agree the price in writing before the visit
Use the in-app chat so the quote is on record. Pay the plumber directly after the job — Hi-Partner charges no commission, so the amount you see is the full amount the worker receives. Then rate the work; the next household depends on it.
