The short of it: Actually gave me an idea of the cost over the phone. Punctual. Grafter. Honest. Job Done. Will certainly use again.
The long of it: Can someone please explain to me why Plumbers charge to come and quote a job? Imagine if all services did this. Me: 'I'd like to buy a t-shirt please.' Rip-off Merchant: 'Sure, I can bring it to you and you can try it on for $49. If you buy it. You don't pay me to try it on.' Me: 'But how much will the t-shirt be? $100 or $1,000.' Rip-off Merchant: 'I can't tell you that. I need you to be in your home feeling uncomfortable. Then I will tell you a price and you'll think 'I can't be bothered to get 5 Rip-off Merchants to do this, I'll just go with you' and then you will pay me $1,000.' This was almost certain to happen until I happened upon Clay of CRA Plumbing. He rocks because: He gave me a realistic quote over the phone, turned up on time, explained what he was doing, kept to the time frame he said he would, was neat tidy and a pleasure to deal with; In fact he's so good he's coming back to do another (different) job on Friday. He even told me that an issue under the sink could be fixed by my husband for $5 rather than him charging us more to fix it. PINCH ME I'M DREAMING! Did a Tradie just not rip me off?!?!?! Too good and true.
