The 15 plumbers serving Bath, ranked.

We track 28 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Bath and have read 2,134 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 19 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Bath's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.8, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 16 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 24 of the 28 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Schuler Service, Inc. alone carries 3,609 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and sewer work.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown BathHow we rank
How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 1,124 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Surprise fee pattern: reviewer charged $1,225 estimate that did not include the expansion tank as quoted; another billed $700 for a service previously priced at $320/year — both reviewers describe feeling scammed. (2 of 98 reviews)
  • Yelp reviewer (rating 1) reports company kept a $300 customer-owned faucet citing internal policy; complaint not resolved after multiple follow-up calls. (1 of 98 reviews)
  • Pricing complaints in 9 of 98 sampled reviews; quotes for water heater replacement quoted at $4,500 for a 6-year-old tank, and expansion tank job misrepresented between estimates. (2 of 98 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day arrival documented in at least 7 reviews; technician on-site within an hour cited explicitly by one reviewer (themeCounts.fast_response=11). (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)
  • Workmanship quality recognized in 11 of 98 sampled reviews, including 400-ft well pump extraction completed in one day. (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Bath we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,124 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
