A burst pipe at midnight, a water heater that suddenly runs cold, a toilet that will not stop running. Plumbing problems never pick a convenient time, and in Johor Bahru the difference between a quick fix and a flooded kitchen usually comes down to having the right number saved in your phone. The trouble is that searching for plumbers in Johor Bahru throws up everything from one-man handymen to listings that have not been active in years, and you only find out which is which when nobody picks up.
So we did the sorting for you. Every company on this list is a genuine plumbing service operating in the Johor Bahru area, from the city centre to Tampoi, Kempas, Perling, Skudai, Gelang Patah and Masai. Each one holds a Google rating of at least 4.0 from real customers, and we have ranked them by the number of Google reviews they have earned, so the most battle-tested names sit at the top. Save a few of these contacts before the next leak finds you.
What Do Plumbers in Johor Bahru Usually Handle?
Most plumbing teams in JB cover the same core jobs: leaking or burst pipes, clogged toilets and floor traps, water heater installation and repair, tap and sink replacement, water tank servicing, and concealed piping leaks that show up as damp patches or a mysteriously high water bill. Several also take on related handyman work such as bathroom fittings and minor renovation plumbing. A few teams on this list run 24-hour lines, which matters because pipe emergencies rarely wait for office hours. If your problem involves roof leaks or waterproofing rather than pipes, mention it when you call, as some plumbers refer that work out to specialists.
How Do You Choose a Reliable Plumber in JB?
Three simple habits save you money and grief. First, WhatsApp a photo or video of the problem before anyone comes over, as most JB plumbers will give a rough assessment from that alone and you avoid paying a transport fee for a job they cannot do. Second, ask for the price before work starts, including whether materials are extra. Reputable teams here are used to that question. Third, check how recent the company’s Google reviews are. A plumber who is still collecting fresh reviews this year is a plumber who is still answering the phone. Every name below passed that test when we compiled this list.

1. GK Combination Services
With the largest pool of Google reviews of any plumbing outfit in JB, GK Combination Services has become the name locals pass around when something goes wrong with the pipes. Based at Danga Bay along Lebuh Skudai, the team handles general plumbing repairs alongside the wider maintenance work their name suggests, which makes them handy when one problem turns out to be two. They run a proper company setup with a website and a fixed weekday-and-Saturday schedule, so this is the pick for landlords and homeowners who want an established operation rather than a lone contractor. Book ahead for non-urgent jobs, since Sundays are off.
Operating Hours: Mon – Sat 8:30 am – 5:00 pm; Sun Closed
Address: No 02-22 Block 7, Lbh Skudai, Danga Bay, 80200 Johor Bahru, Johor

2. Nazir Plumbing & Construction
Nazir Plumbing & Construction serves the fast-growing western side of the Johor Bahru district from its base in Gelang Patah, which puts Iskandar Puteri, Nusajaya and the surrounding taman areas within easy reach. The team takes on plumbing repairs as well as small construction and renovation work, so leaking pipes, bathroom refits and pipe rerouting can all go to the same contact. Customers reach them quickest through WhatsApp, and the six-day week gives you decent coverage for scheduled jobs. If you live around Gelang Patah or Bukit Indah and want a plumber who does not treat your area as an out-of-coverage surcharge, start here.
Operating Hours: Mon – Sat 8:30 am – 6:00 pm; Sun Closed
Address: 249, Jalan Taat, Kampung Melayu, 81550 Gelang Patah, Johor

3. Plumber Tampoi JB Specialist
Operating out of Kampung Skudai Kiri near Tampoi, this specialist keeps some of the longest hours on the list, answering calls from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm every single day of the week. That evening window is worth gold when you come home from work to find the water heater dead or the kitchen sink backing up. The team covers the usual spread of repairs, from clogged drains and toilet troubles to tap and pipe replacements, and their location puts Tampoi, Skudai, Perling and the city centre all within a short drive. A strong first call for after-hours problems that cannot wait until morning.
Operating Hours: Daily 8:00 am – 10:00 pm
Address: 227, Jalan Kupang 2, Kampung Skudai Kiri, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor

4. Plumbing Johor Bahru (Taman Perling)
The name could not be more direct, and neither could the service. Based in Taman Perling on the JB side of Skudai, this team has quietly built one of the healthiest review tallies in the area by showing up, quoting clearly and fixing the problem. The workshop location makes them a natural choice for households across Perling, Bukit Indah and the corridors heading toward the Second Link, an area full of commuter families who need repairs done around Singapore working hours. Weekday and Saturday service runs 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, so plan routine jobs like tap swaps and heater installs for the daytime.
Operating Hours: Mon – Sat 9:00 am – 6:00 pm; Sun Closed
Address: 122, Jalan Camar 8, Taman Perling, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor

5. Plumber Service Johor Bahru (Kempas)
This Kempas-based outfit is one of the few on the list that genuinely runs around the clock, with its line open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That makes it the number to keep for the 2:00 am emergencies: burst pipes, overflowing toilets, or a water tank that decides to empty itself into your ceiling. The team is active on Facebook, where you can see recent jobs before you commit, and the Kempas Baru base means quick access to Tampoi, Setia Tropika, Mount Austin and the city centre. For anything that involves running water and rising panic, call here first.
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours (Daily)
Address: 3 Jalan Permatang 5/B, Kempas Baru, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor

6. Ridawi Plumbing / Handyman Johor Bahru
Ridawi wears two hats, plumber and general handyman, and that combination is exactly why people keep his number. The jobs that fall between trades, like a leaking pipe hidden behind a cabinet that also needs refitting, get solved in one visit instead of two contractors pointing at each other. Based in Taman Suria Muafakat, Ridawi works long days from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm all week, with a midday break on Fridays for prayers. There is even a long-running blog documenting past jobs, a rare bit of transparency in this trade. Suits homeowners who want one dependable contact for all the small stuff.
Operating Hours: Sat – Thu 8:00 am – 8:00 pm; Fri 8:00 am – 12:30 pm, 2:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Address: B03-08, Jalan Suria Muafakat Utama, Taman Suria Muafakat, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor

7. Master Plumber JB
Master Plumber JB covers the eastern flank of the district from Taman Rinting in Masai, an area where good plumbers are thinner on the ground than in the city centre. Every review the team has collected on Google is a full-marks score, which tells you the customers who used them felt strongly enough to say so. The service list runs through the standard household headaches, from leaking joints and clogged lines to fitting replacements. For residents of Masai, Megah Ria, Permas Jaya and out toward Pasir Gudang, this is the local option that saves you paying a city plumber to make the drive east.
Operating Hours: Not listed
Address: Jalan Keruing 1, Taman Rinting, 81750 Masai, Johor

8. Chee Seng Plumbing (1999) Sdn Bhd
The year in the name is the clue: Chee Seng has been in the plumbing business since 1999, and it operates as a registered Sdn Bhd out of Eco Business Park 1 in the Tebrau corridor. That corporate footing sets it apart from the solo operators on this list, and it is the sort of contractor you call for bigger or more formal jobs, think commercial units, shoplots and projects where you need proper invoicing. Operating hours follow a standard office week, Monday to Friday, so this is not your weekend emergency number. It is, however, one of the longest-standing plumbing names still active in JB.
Operating Hours: Mon – Fri 8:00 am – 6:00 pm; Sat & Sun Closed
Address: 19, Jalan Ekoperniagaan 1/10, Taman Ekoperniagaan Eco Business Park 1, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor
Tel: 07-559 6663

9. Din Tukang Paip Johor Bahru
Din is the classic neighbourhood tukang paip, based in Taman Bukit Kempas and reachable 24 hours a day. Alongside pipe repairs, the listing covers electrical work and general contracting, which reflects how many JB households actually use him: one trusted person for the leaking tap, the tripped breaker and the door that will not close. The around-the-clock availability is the standout, since very few solo tradesmen in JB will pick up at odd hours. If you prefer dealing in Malay and like the idea of a local fixer who has seen every kind of household breakdown, save this number alongside your emergency picks.
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours (Daily)
Address: 8, Jalan Bukit Kempas 1/2, Taman Bukit Kempas, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor
Tel: 013-705 4481

10. Southern Plumbing Specialist
Rounding out the list is Southern Plumbing Specialist, another Taman Rinting operator serving Masai and the eastern side of Johor Bahru. The review count is still small, but every single one is a perfect score, and a clean sheet is not easy to keep in a trade where one botched job earns a public complaint. Service runs seven days a week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, which covers weekend repairs that the office-hours contractors will not touch. A solid second local option for the Masai and Permas Jaya crowd, and a name worth watching as its reputation builds.
Operating Hours: Daily 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
Address: Jalan Keruing 1, Taman Rinting, 81750 Masai, Johor

Plumbing is one of those services you only think about when it fails, which is exactly why it pays to choose your plumber before you need one. Our advice: save two numbers from this list, one established daytime operator like GK Combination Services or Plumbing Johor Bahru in Perling for scheduled work, and one round-the-clock responder like Plumber Service Johor Bahru in Kempas or Din Tukang Paip for emergencies. Wherever you are in the district, from Gelang Patah to Masai, at least one team on this list treats your neighbourhood as home turf.
Contact details and operating hours do change, so give the Google listing a quick check before you call. And when a plumber does right by you, leave them a review. It is how lists like this stay honest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there 24-hour plumbers in Johor Bahru?
Yes. Plumber Service Johor Bahru in Kempas and Din Tukang Paip in Taman Bukit Kempas both list 24-hour availability, and Plumber Tampoi JB Specialist answers daily until 10:00 pm. For midnight emergencies, call the 24-hour lines first, then WhatsApp a video of the problem so the plumber arrives with the right parts.
How much does a plumber cost in Johor Bahru?
Rates vary with the job, the parts needed and the time of day, and most JB plumbers quote per job rather than per hour. The safest approach is to WhatsApp photos of the problem to two or three companies on this list and compare their quotes before anyone comes over. Always confirm whether materials and transport are included in the price.
Do these plumbers cover areas outside JB city centre?
Yes, that is partly why we picked them. Between the ten companies you get coverage from Gelang Patah and Bukit Indah in the west, through Skudai, Perling, Tampoi and Kempas, out to Masai, Permas Jaya and Pasir Gudang in the east. Choose the plumber based nearest to you to keep transport charges down and response times short.
What should I prepare before calling a plumber in JB?
Take a clear photo or short video of the leak or blockage, locate your main water shut-off valve in case things worsen, and note your house type and area. Sharing these over WhatsApp lets the plumber assess the job, quote more accurately and bring the correct fittings on the first trip, which saves you a second call-out.
