Hi,
I need advice from experienced plumbers please, I got my bathroom done a few weeks ago, the job was done but the detail was very poor. I had to repaint what the builder had already done as the previous paint was coming though, one side of the tile had not been siliconed so you could see behind it to the bare wall. Anyway, I left it and did Not say anything as I am too soft and the builder and plumber worked hard for 2 days.
Once the bathroom was done the shower pressure dropped. We’ve always struggled with water pressure but I think this was due to a bigger shower head. We asked the plumber what our options were and he said we would need to fit a pump, I asked him if this would definitely work (we had other issues as we went along so I wanted him to be sure before we started/do any investigations as my budget was already stretched) and he said of course.
Plumber came for Just under two hours and said bad news, you need to replace the cylinder. I stupidly paid him as it was on the spot. Later the builder text me to say - ‘thanks for paying me even though the job wasn't completed but i will definitely take this money of the next job.’
Now this virus has hit, we are not being paid for now and we went over budget on our bathroom so cannot afford to do anything further. He has also said we have got the wrong pump, even though he adviseus to buy that exact one,
should the plumber have known that there might be a problem before he set out to say so confidently the pump would work?
should I ask for all or part of the money back? Grateful for your advice.
