Plomberie · 3 octobre 2026 · 6 min de lecture
In Paris and Île-de-France, Plamby lets you book a verified plumber, electrician, locksmith, heating specialist or handyman at a fixed price set before the visit: for example €129 to repair a water leak, €109 to change a tap, €99 to unblock a toilet, €153 to open a slammed door, €82 to assemble furniture, €52 to hang a mirror or a TV, €51 to install an appliance.

Why fixed prices matter when you are new in Paris
The most common complaint about tradespeople in Paris is the bill that grows once the work is done: a call-out fee, a night or weekend surcharge, a part that costs three times its shop price. If you do not speak French well, you cannot argue. Plamby removes the argument: each job has one fixed price, shown before you book, the same on weekdays and weekends, in every arrondissement and across Île-de-France. Travel and labour are included, and nothing can be added on site without your agreement.

Installing a light fixture costs €102, installing an appliance (oven, dishwasher, washing machine, hood) €51, installing a ceiling fan €122.

Parts: who buys them
Parts and materials are not in the fixed price. You choose when you book: either you buy the part yourself, or the professional buys it and shows you the receipt. In that case you pay the shop price, nothing more, and you approve the amount in the app before paying it. Small supplies such as screws, wall plugs, seals and joints are part of the labour.
Conseil : Add a photo of the broken part or the model number when you book: the professional arrives with the right part and does not have to come back.
How to book without speaking French
The site is in French, but the booking flow is short: pick the job, add photos, give your address and a time slot, describe the problem in a few words (French or English), and create an account. Verified professionals nearby offer to take the job; you confirm one and pay online. The price does not change afterwards. Your browser can translate every page, and the Plamby team answers in English by email. On site, the professional speaks French: the price and the scope are already settled, so you only need to show the problem.
Who the professionals are
Every professional on Plamby has had their identity and their SIRET business number checked by the team before receiving jobs, and the profile shows their reviews. Your payment is held by Plamby and only released to the professional once you have confirmed the work. If something goes wrong, you open a request from your booking and the team settles it.
What Plamby does not do
No gas work (gas boiler breakdowns, gas hobs, gas cookers), no appliance repair (that is the manufacturer's after-sales service), no large renovation projects. Plamby covers small and medium home jobs: plumbing, electrics, locks, heating maintenance, handyman work, cleaning for short-term rentals and professional cleaning, in Paris and Île-de-France only.
