Replacing the cartridges of bathroom taps
Called for replacement of 4 cartridge taps in a bathroom. I estimated this would take a competent plumber no more than an hour or so to do this job. The plumber wanted over $900, which I declined and paid the basic fee for a visit. A similar thing happened when I called them years ago. At that time, I called them to fix the drain of bathtub that was leaking. They wanted over $600, but another plumber did it in about 30 min at a total cost of $130. I called them again because they are in the neighbourhood, but never again. Instead of charging you by the time it takes to do the work, they charge you according to their "book" value. It turns out to be ridiculously high. Don't get fooled; find another plumber.
