How long should it take to fit a Europrisma 10 ltr 2Kw u/s water heater?

[Phillips wife]

Hi there,
I am a newbie to this site, so apologies if this posting has found its way to the wrong place.
I had an under sinkwater heater ( Europrisma 10 ltr 2kw) fitted to a refurbished one bed rental ground floor flat. The cold feed was within a metre of the position of the heater and it DID need a pressure release valve fitting as our pressure was 5 bar? The hot went to the sink, obviously, and another hot went to an en suite less than 3 metres away. How long should this have taken?
We chose this water heater because all the reviews rated it highly and said it was easy to install. Our plumber has charged for 16.5 hours and part of another day of 7 hours, so potentially it could have taken 23 hours. Am I missing something?
All advice would be very gratefully received.
The flat is small and the " kitchen" is just 4 x kitchen base units wide, our plumber said it was fiddly, but surely all under sink water heaters are fitted in a small space?
I telephoned the Ariston helpline and they said "one day max for fitting"
I do hope you will be able to advise.
kind regards,
Mrs Phillips

You should have asked for a price on the job. And any plumber worth his salt would have come, looked at the job PROPERLY, taken into account any awkward hurdles he may have had to overcome and priced accordingly. Then you could have taken or leave it and /or got another quote.

Perfectly said.
