Jobs following other plumbers work?

[Best]

I seem to be getting ridiculous callouts nowadays.
Today I finally got to a leaking stopcock job that the house owner has been chasing me to fix.
No big deal, - just needed cleaned up, greased and packing nut tightened back in.
Odd thing is plumbers have just finished installing a new bathroom and after turning the stopcock have created the leak. 😱
Aren't customers strange? It would be same as me giving a mechanic a full service job on my car and the next day taking it to another mechanic to tighten the oil bung the first guy hadn't done.

I am too busy with the extra callouts, many of which are boilers not working. But it is not them that are the worst problem.
I find the callouts to fix work recently done by other plumbers, both baffling and insulting when the customer was well aware I could do the work in the first place.

Agree totally , I seem to be getting more and more of following someone else which while it all helps to pay the mortgage, is annoying as they never want to pay a lot as already paid once and expect you to jump through hoops to get to them.

It is a hard one to call about whether we should bother going in after other plumbers work.
Some customers treat you like their hero and as a true professional for fixing shoddy work, but others have had a bad experience with the previous plumbers and seem to be suspicious and venting their anger with the next man
