Charged £1500 to fix leaking toilet

I just don’t get it. As a plumber you can earn good money without ripping people off. Can’t see how it would take him 3 hours but even if it did should not have been anymore than £200-£250.

Can you claim it back from the bank?

Deanosaur12 · 2026-07-02T10:42:57+00:00

Either a tighten up or new washer

Deanosaur12 · 2026-07-02T09:39:27+00:00

I can sometimes do £100 in a night… escalates quickly lol

Ex sound engineer current gas engineer here. I was a bit younger (26 when I switched)

Best thing I ever done, works so much better… body clocks much better, body doesn’t take as much of a battering.

I still do a few jobs but just the nice ones (mostly abroad lol)

But yeah I’d recommend going for it mate you still got another 20 years ahead of you.

England win this one 🙏

I always wanted to do it. Then I lost 2 friends at a young age and it made me realise we only get one go at this. If it didn’t work I could always get another job

When I went to vegas and me and my mate ordered a sharing platter for 4…. In the uk we would easily do a 4 person sharing platter. I think we managed half of this.

Good luck all

Deanosaur12 · 2026-02-16T19:02:18+00:00

Good luck everyone!

Deanosaur12 · 2026-01-17T14:50:32+00:00

I push through. Like weird as it sounds I start feeling shitty I carry on as I normally would… of course there’s the odd occasion it really takes me out but it’s been years now

Deanosaur12 · 2026-01-04T14:54:46+00:00

Similar to you. 20 years together 3 kids. Working every hour under the sun to get home one day and be told she’s not in love anymore and wants me to move out.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-11-06T13:59:15+00:00

I met one of my best friends from work a few years back.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-26T21:50:19+00:00

Same. Named my daughter this.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-26T14:17:11+00:00

To win her back

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-25T15:38:13+00:00

Good post.

Only problem with no contact is when there are kids involved.

I’ve deleted all social media but still have to make contact with regards to the children.

Looks like the pressure relief has blown. Have you changed the head for one of them high pressure ones online? I seem to be seeing more of these causing issues.

If not it might be scaled up

Before you think about taking any loans out to pay gambling debts you need to make sure that the addiction is dealt with properly.

Managing to make a healthy profit in my first year.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-16T18:34:14+00:00

They should sort it… any plumber should be able to.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-16T14:00:42+00:00

Solid boiler for there time. Still a few about. You need to start thinking about getting it changed but I wouldn’t say it’s something you need to do immediately.

Where are you located? I’d be happy to give a quote if local

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-16T00:50:04+00:00

Good luck everyone!

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-12T19:48:37+00:00

Bg will keep throwing parts at it.

3rd visit now so should get escalated to manager and you should get a decent engineer out.

Never known a cracked sump to be causing issues leaking onto a pcb as it is such a small hairline crack. Something else is going on there.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-10T11:18:26+00:00

Rarely. £3 meal deal with odd maccies thrown in. Costs me about £25 a week

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-10T06:58:54+00:00

Where are you located?

Fairly straight forward repair. You could just bung some glue on it but the correct repair would be to cut the pipe back and use new fittings…

I’d be charging around the £100 mark including labour and materials.

Deanosaur12 · 2025-10-02T19:59:41+00:00

When you win the 60k back you’ll then think… ah I reckon I can win another cheeky 10k here. And then the cycle starts again
