What does a plumber's website cost in the UK?
Quotes for trade websites are hard to compare because some are one-off prices and some are monthly plans. Below is an illustrative example only, not a quote from anyone: swap in your own figures with the free website cost calculator.
Illustrative itemised example
| Item | Type | £ (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Design and build | Once | 450 |
| Logo | Once | 80 |
| Copywriting and photos of your work | Once | 120 |
| Hosting | Per month | 10 |
| Site-builder plan | Per month | 15 |
| Business email | Per month | 5 |
| Maintenance and updates | Per month | 20 |
| Domain renewal | Per year | 15 |
| Paid extras | Per year | 40 |
Year 1: £650 setup + £600 monthly + £55 yearly = £1,305. 3 years: £650 + £1,800 + £165 = £2,615.
Compare with a monthly package
Millwards Digital's Launch package is £249 to build, then website care from £39 a month (the live pricing on millwards.shop): at £39 a month that is £249 + £468 = £717 in year 1 and £249 + £1,404 = £1,653 over 3 years. Compare what each quote includes before comparing totals.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a plumber's website cost in the UK?
It depends on the quote. In the example above it is £1,305 in year 1 and £2,615 over 3 years. Always add up setup, monthly and yearly lines.
What costs do plumbers forget when comparing website quotes?
Hosting, business email, maintenance, domain renewal and paid extras. They recur, so over 3 years they often outweigh the setup fee.
Does a plumber need a website as well as a Google Business Profile?
A website gives customers your services, areas covered and contact details on a page you control. Many customers check both before calling.
How can I compare a monthly-plan website with a one-off price?
Convert both to the same period: setup plus 36 months of fees is the 3-year total.
