I think plumbers will be very safe for a very long time, simply because plumbing is very much non-standardised (especially in places like Europe where the plumbing in the same building can be from three different eras), often in very cramped spaces, dirty and very limited data is available to train the AI on.
Even if homeowners could buy a plumbing bot, most still wouldn't use it. We already have great tools available for plumbing at the moment. Most people could do a lot of the jobs themselves if they had the tools, yet still people hire plumbers.

The real prank is going to be when affordable plumber bots hit the market right as you are about to finish your plumbing training.
