PEX Repiping Cost: What to Expect When You've Already Chosen PEX
If you've already decided on PEX over copper, here's what a PEX whole-home repipe actually costs — and why the material itself isn't the main cost driver.
PEX offers the best balance of cost, installation speed and reliability for most whole-home repipes — see our comparison for the full picture.

Already Decided on PEX
If You've Already Chosen PEX, Here's the Cost Picture
PEX is the pipe installed by default on whole-home Poly B replacements, and if you've already compared it against copper (see our Poly B vs PEX and PEX vs copper pages) and landed on PEX, the cost picture is straightforward: it's the same whole-home repiping cost range most homeowners see.
PEX material itself is relatively inexpensive as flexible plastic pipe goes — the real cost driver on any repipe, PEX or otherwise, is labour and drywall restoration, not the pipe.
Typical Range
What a PEX Whole-Home Repipe Typically Costs
Whole-home PEX repiping typically runs $8,000 to $18,000, with most single-family homes landing between $10,000 and $13,000, plus roughly $800 to $1,500 per bathroom beyond the base scope — the same range as a general whole-home Poly B replacement, since PEX is already our standard material.
That's a meaningfully lower material cost than copper, which is part of why PEX offers the better overall value for most homeowners even before factoring in installation speed.
Why PEX Costs Less to Install
Why PEX Installation Tends to Cost Less Than Copper
PEX is flexible, so it can be run through existing framing with fewer fittings and joints than rigid copper, which needs to be cut and soldered piece by piece. Fewer joints and faster installation both translate to less labour time, which is the real driver of a repipe's total cost.
That's not a knock on copper — see our Poly B vs copper comparison if you're still weighing the two — it's simply why PEX tends to land at the lower end of typical repipe pricing.

PEX-A vs PEX-B
A Quick Note on PEX Types
There are different manufacturing types of PEX (commonly PEX-A and PEX-B), with minor differences in flexibility and fitting method, but both are established, code-compliant options for residential repiping. The type used doesn't meaningfully change the cost picture for a typical whole-home job.
If you have a specific preference or reason to want one over the other, mention it during your assessment and we'll confirm what we're installing.
If you're comparing our PEX quote against another company's, make sure the comparison is apples to apples — confirm whether their number includes drywall restoration, permitting, and pressure-testing, or whether those are separate line items that will show up later and change the real total.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PEX repiping cheaper than copper?
Generally yes — PEX material and installation labour both tend to cost less than copper, since it requires fewer joints and less time to run. Even though PEX is generally the lower-cost option, the exact number still depends entirely on your home's specific size, bathroom count and access — which is why we always confirm the real figure on-site rather than quoting from a generic average.
What does a PEX whole-home repipe typically cost?
Most single-family homes run $10,000 to $13,000, with a wider range of $8,000 to $18,000 depending on size and access — the same range as a general whole-home Poly B replacement.
Is PEX pipe itself expensive?
No — it's one of the less expensive components of the quote. Labour and drywall restoration make up most of the total. We'll also explain honestly if your specific home has factors that would push the price toward either end of the typical range.
Does the PEX repipe price include drywall?
Yes — our fixed quote covers the pipe, the installation, and the drywall restoration together. We'll confirm the exact figure during your on-site visit, not before.
Should I compare PEX and copper cost before deciding?
It's worth it if you're undecided — see our Poly B vs PEX and Poly B vs copper comparisons, or ask us to break out both prices during your assessment. We'll also walk you through exactly why PEX is generally the better fit for your specific home, not just quote it because it's our default. We'll break the number down clearly so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
In Short
PEX Repiping Cost — The Short Version
PEX repiping cost typically runs $8,000 to $18,000, most often $10,000 to $13,000 — generally the lower-cost option compared to copper, since PEX needs fewer joints and less installation labour. It's the pipe installed by default, and every quote includes the drywall restoration as part of one fixed price. If you've already ruled out copper and CPVC and know PEX is your material, the remaining variable is simply your home's specific size and access — get the referral to a licensed contractor to turn the general range into your actual, fixed number. We stand behind that number once it's given. We stand behind every quote we give. Every single time.
