Question: Is it customary to tip a plumber?
Top Answer (57% of 57 votes): No.

Answer: No
Explanation: No, you do not need to tip plumbers because they are skilled tradespeople who earn professional wages. You may want to tip your plumber for late-night emergency repairs, extremely dirty, heavy, or complex jobs in tight spaces, or for complimentary repairs or clean-up done at no extra charge.

T and T Repair Services
Answer: No
Explanation: In the U.S., plumbers (and most licensed trades like electricians, HVAC techs, remodelers) set their own rates and are paid for the job, not tipped like service workers in restaurants. However, if you feel they went above and beyond or if they helped with something small at no extra cost then, why not?
