Union Jack Plumbing

I contacted Nick to replace my leaking kitchen faucet. He was very helpful on the phone, even telling me which brands he recommended for the replacement. I went and picked up the new faucet and he came out the very next morning. He was on time, friendly and charged a fair price. He was really quick too! I would definitely call him again.

My pressure relief valve was leaking on my hot water heater. I called several plumbers and no one could come out for several days. I called Union Jack and Nick told me the price over the phone and was at my house in an hour and got it replaced. Great and fast service.

Had a great experience with Nick. First of all, he returned my call the same day, unlike the 2 other plumbers I called. He came the next day (this was not an emergency situation) and arrived at the time promised. He confirmed my suspicions and to our delight, was able to rebuild a crucial part, saving us about half the cost of putting in a new one. Nick is now my go-​to plumber!

When I discovered my hot water heater was having problems I turned to Unilocal to find a plumber and I’m so glad I did. I agree with all of the previous reviews and would highly recommend Union Jack Plumbing. Nick got back to me quickly, was friendly, on time, reasonably priced and was very knowledgable about all things plumbing.

We are thrilled with Union Jack Plumbing — Nick. He is reasonably priced, hilarious, and a VERY good plumber. The absolute best, gold standard. We feel lucky to have found him.

I love owning a home… but I hate dropping cash on maintenance. I can think of a thousand other things I’d rather spend hundreds/​thousands of dollars on, but what are you gonna do?
So when something goes wrong in my home, I am already harboring unfounded animosity toward whomever I need to call to fix my problems. This time it was my hot water heater. The stupid little pilot light would not stay lit. Normally, I would just power through and relight the thing when I wanted some hot water, but with a house full of guests, that was not an option.
Cue the hunt for a plumber. After calling a few places with at least a week’s lead time, I came across Nick at Union Jack Plumbing. He answered right away, and asked all sorts of questions about my heater and what was going on. And then said he just needed to pick up some parts and he’d be there in about an hour. Shut. Up. I have a feeling I just so happened to get really lucky on timing since my job was a quick fix…
Nick is a REALLY friendly guy who was awesome about keeping in touch. He texted before he got to the store, and right before he got to my house. He was explained what he was going to do, said it would take about an hour, and then he got straight to it.
Less than an hour later, he was done. He took the time to explain exactly what he had done and why my tank should last another 10 years. And then said he had a one year warranty on his work. And he cleaned all the bird poop out of the tank closet. And then my animosity at paying for maintenance waned a little. A little…
Nick was friendly, prompt, a great communicator and did a great job. Should I need a plumber, I will absolutely be calling him again.

This dude kicks ass! He’s not an immediate service because he’s so busy, but well worth the wait if you ask me. He installed a faucet and a water filter for me, and we’re very pleased with both, and he doesn’t overcharge.

I chose Union Jack Plumbing based on all the wonderful reviews here on Unilocal.He came out, replaced the valves behind the washing machine and the refrigerator, which he also had to do some welding to get it correct. He did an amazing job, cleaned up everything, double-​checked his work and even leveled my washing machine! This was the first time I’ve ever had to call a plumber, and Nick made it a wonderful experience! He’s a very pleasant, experienced professional with a wonderful sense of humor. Union Jack Plumbing is THE company to call!

My toilet and plumbing recently got messed up and needed to be fixed. I called in and made an appointment and within few days someone was here to fix the toilet for me. Overall this was a great experience and the toilet and plumbing seem to be working great. I would use this service again bud it’s a little more than I would like to spend.

An A+ recommendation for Nick! Replaced some leaky pipes under the kitchen sink, cleaned out the disposal and replaced my faucet. All in little over an hour! He was quick, informative, and affordable. Also no problems driving out to Round Rock (no extra fees).

I did have Nick come out to repair a drippy outdoor spigot and he did an excellent job in a short amount of time at a very fair price. My 5-​star recommendation remains intact & I definitely recommend him.
Because he is good & no doubt very busy, he may not be able to do your job in the time frame you need, so hopefully your situation and his availability will match up when you need work done.

Nick has over 100 reviews on Unilocal,and almost all of them are 5 stars. The ones that aren’t are from people who never actually used him. That should tell you something.
Nick did an amazing job repairing some toilets in our house. He was able to come out the same day and is fast, fast, fast.
I’m very happy with the work he did and he’s incredibly charming and a genuinely nice guy. Give him a call.

Nick is a delight — clean, courteous, friendly, professional. Our job was simple: replace a drinking water filtration system. The existing system was too complex for our lower pressure water supply.
When I called, I did get his machine, including the warning that he may take two business days to respond. In fact, he responded later that day, and he was able to schedule me just 2 days out. You should take his warning seriously; if you have an urgent job I might recommend calling someone else. And yet, if you can wait, enjoy the pleasant surprise if he responds quickly.
He arrived when he said he would, calling ahead on his way out from his previous job. His work was quick, complete, and precise. He did some cleanup above and beyond the original job; since it was at my expense, he asked me in advance, of course, so there was no surprise. I’m glad he did it; I have more confidence in the final product. He cleaned up after himself, so the kitchen as clean as when he arrived. That is much appreciated.
And of course, he wore the trademark overalls, so no plumber’s crack here.
All told, a great plumbing experience. I happily recommend him to others.

«The British are plumbing!»
«The British are plumbing!»
OK, so those of you who know me automatically know that Nick had the inside track based on his sense of humor alone.
I called Nick on a Saturday after my irrigation company and I identified an issue with a valve that could be affecting the efficiency of my sprinkler system. It wasn’t an emergency, but I called and left a message for Nick on Saturday night, because it never hurts to get on any tradesman’s list early.
Monday eve, whilst amid an after-​hours call from a co-​worker, I get this lovely call from a perfectly British Jolly Old St. Nick. He understood my problem from my phone message, and we made a date for Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Nick promised to call after 11:30. True to his word, he called shortly before noon to say he was on his way. He was at my residence within 45 minutes. To make a long story short, for a few minutes, it really was looking like a Hard Candy Christmas.
Nick took a couple of hours to work his magic with my plumbing. If you watch him work, you’ll know this is one plumber who isn’t using any other kind of pipe dope. When he’s done, everything is tight, leak-​free, and flows like a firehose.
Speaking of which, during the surgery, Nick had to repair a bit of the apparatus. Now, that might make most of you squeamish, but in this case, Nick simply tidied up an incredibly inefficient job done by my builder’s plumbing subcontractor. I had always wondered why the washer took 15 minutes to fill, and why a flush of the guest loo caused my master bath shower to slow to a trickle. Nick solved my flow problem, so now the washer fills in 3 minutes and the master bath shower head actually makes you tingle on massage.
In short:
— Nick is the ultimate professional
— Nick returns phone calls
— Nick shows up on time
— Nick is serious about his plumbing – and yours
— Nick is funny as all get out
— Nick is not out to nick you
— Nick keeps his word.
Five stars seems a plumb pittance, wouldn’t you say?

Nick came out to remove our old kitchen faucet and replace it with a new one we bought. He gave me an extremely spot-​on estimate when I called, and also included a high-​end estimate in case of specific scenarios. I really appreciated the range and knowing what it would cost if there were some unknowns he discovered under the kitchen sink.
He and his assistant were FAST– he can obviously do this with his hands tied behind his back! They were also extremely decisive, tidy, and respectful. You don’t always get that just because someone is fast.
Needless to say, our faucet was installed perfectly and looks awesome. I don’t know anything about plumbing, but it seems like he simplified whatever was going on under my sink before. All I know is that I have more room to navigate and I no longer have a leaky old faucet. Yay!
We also had great conversations about food, dogs, and yes… faucets. He is a great conversationalist and this does NOT change the speed or attention he is paying to his work. I definitely don’t want to need plumbing anytime soon, but if I do, I will not call anyone except UJP. Thanks for everything, Nick!

I called Nick for replacing my kitchen faucet. He was able to immediately give me a solid estimate (barring any missing parts), time required for labor, and an appointment time. He arrived promptly on time and called ahead to let me know he would be there.
The work was clean and well done and he tested the faucet functions after installing. I would gladly call him again for any plumbing needs. Highly recommended.

He just left 30 seconds ago and I can’t wait to write an update. :)
He hooked up the plumbing to our two sink vanity and I can’t be happier. He took care of what could have been a major headache, really looking out for us. Upon inspection after he was done, he makes sure everything works as it should, no leaks, nothing other than perfect working order. We really appreciate that. He always cleans up after, and makes sure everything is done properly. (I found out about sealing threads and such, which is info the faucet manufacturer doesn’t want the consumer to know apparently)
Again, nothing but professional and a great guy, we will continue to call on Union Jack (Nick) any time we have plumbing concerns. And next time, I wont pretend I can do a simple sink hook up 1^st, THANKS NICK!
** I called him at 8:45pm, he called me back at 8:45am the next morning and set up service for the next day (My schedule limitations, not his, otherwise he would have been out the same day). **FYI: He’s NOT an Emergency, ²⁴⁄₇ plumber ** But will do any plumbing outside of major renovation, and he will wisely refer you to the proper person if need be.

I’ve dealt with many plumbers in my time, but none were as thorough and as friendly as Nick from Union Jack plumbing. We purchased a new kitchen and needed everything hooked up properly. After trying this ourselves we quickly realized that we didn’t have the tools or the skills we needed.
I checked online and came across these reviews and decided that to have 5 stars after this many reviews has to count for something. We placed a call and a few days later had an appointment set up for him to come over.
When he arrived he quickly identified the work and started getting everything sorted out. Within an hour or so it was working beautifully and he was able to test and clean the area in a matter of minutes. Nick definitely has a good sense of humor and was a pleasure to talk to during the job.
For those wondering about the cost he installed the plumbing to my kitchen sink, retooled all of the hook ups and connected the disposal and dishwasher connections for a little over $ 200. I found this reasonable and worthwhile given the skill and expertise he was able to demonstrate.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good plumber and after speaking to others and reading the reviews I’m glad we chose him.

My kitchen faucet has been jacked up since as long as I can remember, but I learned new tricks to twist it and shut it off, and I kept postponing the call to a qualified plumber. Until the damage went beyond fixable and caused a major leak.
Thanks to the Unilocal muses, I called Nick and left a voice message late in the day, not expecting a reply any time soon. That same exact day, barely an hour later, I get a call from him. And we set up an appointment for next day. For this alone, I wish I could give more stars than just 5. [Current count: [6/​5]
We talk on the phone about the actual plumbing issues for five minutes — and the next 35 minutes is a full-​blown conversation on favorite movies.
Again, wish I could give an extra star for pure entertainment value. [Current count: 7/​5]
Then, he shows up and walks in, introduces himself and does a beeline to the sink and starts trying to figure it out. My dad was visiting and I ran to open the door — he points to the van with «The British are coming, the British are coming» and we both laugh at the Paul Revere parody.
Next, Nick amusingly gets to work on the sink while I hover over trying to understand why it’s been giving me so much trouble. And instead of getting irritated, he patiently explains how the parts work, what he suspects is the problem and why he prefers working on some faucet brands as opposed to others. In short, I get Plumbing 101. Plus another star. [Current count: 8/​5]
He fixes it in no time and we move on to my clogged bath tub drains. Here he proceeds to give me trade secrets most plumbers would save so you can call them again. He even gives me a product recommendation, a wet vacuum which I’ve been considering for quite some time. Once again, another star for that. [Current count: ⁹⁄₅.]
Lastly, all’s fixed in no time and we resort to more banter on movies, world cuisine, his musician son, and so much more. He hands me the bill, I show him my movie collection, he borrows a movie, we shake hands and ta ra — job was done in the most pleasant way possible. And this, without any plumber butt crack either. Plus one here too [Current count: 10/​5, see photo].
So even if I had to deduct a star in the case Nick fails to return my movie (which I highly doubt will happen), I would still recommend his services by shouting it from the rooftops. In short, Nick rocks and you’d be missing out if you decide not to give him a call.

And you know what I say? «Nick at Union Jack Plumbing ROCKS»!!! — and you can Quote me on that!
Why? 54 ea. 5 Star reviews SAYS IT ALL… but I’ll say it again;
1.) Personable customer service,
2.) Prompt and dependable,
3.) He gives thoughful explainations you can actually understand!
4.) Fair pricing with efficient work.
He replaced the following;
— 3 toilets (from cheap Vitromex ‘builder brand’ that are only worth the $ 22 he prolly spend on them) with awesome Eco-​Drake 1.28 gpf model. No more back-​ups for me to clean-​up!
— Unclogged a ‘shower insert’ where we had no hot water in the guest shower. No more pissed off MIL for me… yea!!!
— A leaky drain valve on a hot water heater — so I did not have to replace the whole hot water heater!
And since I like nicknames… I recommended he be called Nick-the-Quick…but sadly, he declined… something about ‘other implications’…Oh, well… I tried!
After all why would you use some plumber that was your BIL’s BFF from grade school?
If you have plumbing issues, give Nick a call… quick!
