Out of six plumbers a customer in a mobile home called about a burst pipe, Bill was the only one who answered. That was February 2022, and WB Plumbing, a Millbury shop with 4.9★ from 56 Google ratings, has more stories like it. In a July 2024 review, a customer whose regular plumber was unavailable said Bill was the only weekend emergency call that picked up; he worked past 10pm on a Saturday on a disposal backed up after a catered event, came back Sunday with parts and stayed until about 4:30pm draining and replacing pipes. In January 2025, a customer with a clogged sink and a burst basement pipe had him at the door an hour later. Recent customers describe the same speed. In August 2026, a customer texted photos of the existing water heater, got a replacement price over the phone, and had Bill install it two days later, on time, with the area left clean. A July 2026 reviewer who has used WB three times described next-day service, arriving early, and a choice between fixing and replacing; that reviewer dealt with Dan. Price comes up often. Reviewers from 2021 through 2025 called the pricing fair or reasonable, and in a January 2026 review Bill saved a customer money by cleaning out an ejector pump instead of replacing the float. A July 2023 reviewer said he talked them through troubleshooting a macerator sump pump before they decided to replace it. Several reviewers also mention being taught along the way: a September 2025 reviewer who had just bought a house said Bill showed them basics for spotting leaks, and a December 2025 reviewer said he texted them step by step through a question about a gas stove flame the morning after a heating call. The work itself spans water heaters, sump and ejector pumps, toilets, shower leaks and, in a December 2021 review, a boiler repair. One review went the other way. In August 2025, a customer gave 1★, writing that the plumber was scheduled to start on two separate days and never showed, with no call or text.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from WB Plumbing. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Good experience from start to finish. I texted over a few pictures of existing water heater, and Bill provided a fair replacement price over the phone. He showed up on time two days later, completed the installation, and kept the area clean. No surprises and an easy transaction.
WB was prompt in next day service. Came early...assessed the problem..gave me numerous options. I have dealt with WB three times and everytime it's been fast, pleasant and good value. They always try to give you the options of fix or replace. Dan is a real gentleman and excellent to deal with.
Bill was great, friendly and professional. He cleaned up the work space afterwards. He fixed my ejector pump and saved me money by cleaning it out instead of buying a new float. Also resety toilet on a wax ring. Highly recommend!
Billy arrived for the service call well prepared and immediately put me at ease while assessing and addressing the heating issue. The following morning I reached out about a concern with the flame on my gas stove, and he guided me step-by-step—literally holding my hand virtually through text until I had clear answers and the issue was fully resolved. His expertise, calm approach, and outstanding customer service truly set him apart. Highly recommended.
Let me start by saying I don't usually do reviews, but Bill is absolutely worth it. I needed help identifying leaks. I'm a new homeowner so the plumbing issues quickly made me feel overwhelmed and nervous. Bill spent time with me to show me some tricks and to teach me some basics, even basics outside of plumbing. He really helped me understand and made everything manageable and not overwhelming. He surpassed all expectations. He's incredibly knowledgeable, humble, and is dedicated to helping others the right way. I'm lucky to have him around if needed. I highly recommend him!
