Should I sack my plumber?

[fuzzy]

did you pay him any extra? what did it cost you in the end?

As a smoker myself I never smoke in a clients property I go to the van and always put the *** end in a bin inside the van. We all get the occasional leak but this sounds laughable in a way although I appreciate it's not funny at all. I suppose when you look back at what you've done here you can see how it was doomed from the start but as they say hindsight is 20/20 vision.

I would do as stated agree a small compensatory pay off on the understanding he leaves immediately and that's that.

Hi All (that have been kind enough to take an interest in my bathroom nightmare)
this is the 3rd time I've posted a reply about the outcome - my replies are not being added to the thread for some reason?!

The 'plumber' left without saying much (and without asking for more than the £300 I've already given him). He then sent a text saying sorry I wasn't happy but he def would've got everything done in the next 2 days. I don't think so!! I got a couple of people to come and take a look last night for a quote and they all reckoned another 4- 5 days work is there - and they seemed really competent!

I should def ask for 'paperwork' and refs this time shouldn't I?

Thanks again all for your support, understanding and tin bath ads.
(Hope this one gets added)

Hi
Glad to know he left peacefully don'y forget any good tradesmen will put in writing the procedure of works, time scale etc. People can seem a lot of things to get work.
All the best
Penged.

to be honest it would take me 5 days to rip out bathroom, underfloor heating - first fix - tile and refit - cost the lady more than 800 though. but would be completed in 5 days and i wouldnt have to stay there lol

 

[KingDoey]

Oh yeah thats fair enough with the underfloor heating and tiling. I meant just the appliances on day one. I do council work so it is fairly straight forward....

I thought council houses were the only ones that could afford the mod cons like satellite tv, full sky subscription, 72" tv, underfloor heating, etc ...😉

Thank you!! I was wondering what to say to my un-christian comment!!!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

no probs original comment was much longer but the pc part of me (very small) edited it lol.

 

[REDSAW]

[dontknowitall]

I bet I'm damned if I say yes and damned if I say know. Stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one!!
