What repiping typically costs in Aubrey and Denton County
Repiping replaces the water supply lines inside your home. It is a bigger project than a leak repair, so it helps to see the range before you commit. The cost depends mostly on the size and layout of the house, the pipe material, and how hard the walls and ceilings are to open. The ranges below are conservative and wide. We set the real number on site, after we have seen the home and how the pipes are routed.
| Job | Typical range (estimate) | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Repair a single leak in an accessible pipe | $200 to $800 | Access and the pipe material |
| Partial repipe (one bathroom, kitchen, or a failed section) | $1,000 to $4,000 | How many fixtures, how many walls must be opened |
| Whole-house repipe, small home (1 to 2 baths) | $4,000 to $7,500 | Home size, PEX or copper, wall access |
| Whole-house repipe, mid-size home (3 baths) | $6,000 to $12,000 | Layout, number of fixtures, ceiling access |
| Whole-house repipe, large or two-story home | $9,000 to $18,000 | Two floors, extra baths, finished ceilings |
| Replace the main supply line from the meter to the house | $1,200 to $4,500 | Length, depth, driveway or landscaping crossings |
| Pressure regulator or main shutoff valve replacement | $200 to $700 | Valve type and location |
These ranges are for planning. The price you approve is the written estimate we give you at your home, before any work starts.
How the $79 dispatch fee works
A $79 dispatch fee covers sending a licensed plumber to your home to find the problem and give you an estimate. When you approve the recommended work, the $79 is applied toward your repair total. For repiping, that visit is where we look at what you have, find where the leaks are coming from, and tell you whether replacement is warranted. Nothing starts until you have seen the price and said yes.
What moves a repipe price
- Home size and floors. A single-story home with an attic is the simplest. A two-story house with plumbing in interior walls takes longer.
- Pipe material. PEX costs less than copper to install. Copper holds up well and costs more in both material and labor. We discuss which fits your home.
- Number of fixtures. Every bathroom, sink, hose bib, and appliance line is a run of pipe.
- Access. Open attic space and exposed runs are quick. Finished ceilings and tile walls mean more cutting and more patching.
- Slab or pier and beam. Pipes that run through or under a slab are harder to reach than overhead lines. See slab leak repair if that is your situation.
Signs it may be time to repipe
No single sign proves a house needs repiping, but a pattern does. Look for repeat leaks in different parts of the house, brown or rusty water, water pressure that has dropped across every fixture, pinhole leaks in copper, or visible green and white buildup on fittings. Some homes built roughly between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s have polybutylene supply pipe, which is known to become brittle and fail. If you are not sure what you have, we can identify the material when we visit. If you only have one problem spot, leak detection may find the single cause and spare you a full replacement.
Repair now, or repipe
Patching a leak is the lower-cost move today, and it is often the right one. It stops making sense when you are paying for a repair every year, or when the water damage from the next leak would cost more than replacing the lines. We lay out both options with a price on each, and you pick. We do not push a whole-house job where a repair will hold. For sudden failures, our emergency leak and burst pipe repair handles the immediate problem first.
Common add-ons
- Drywall, texture, and paint repair after access holes are cut
- New shutoff valves at every fixture
- A pressure regulator and a main shutoff
- Replacing hose bibs and outdoor lines
- Permit handling for your city
PEX or copper
Most repipes today use either PEX or copper. PEX is flexible plastic tubing that runs through walls with fewer fittings, which saves labor and cost, and it handles minor freezing better than rigid pipe. Copper costs more, has a long track record, and suits homes where exposed runs or heat are a concern. Neither is right for every house. We talk through both with you and price each, so the choice rests on your home and your budget.
Planning around the work
A repipe means the water is off for part of the day while connections are made, and walls or ceilings are opened in places. We tell you in advance where we will cut and when the water will be off. Plan for the patching afterward, and ask whether it is in the estimate. Many homeowners schedule the drywall and paint work for the days right after the plumbing is done.
