I reckon they'll probably bite the bullet and call you back having already experienced what a bad plumber can do they won't want to risk going with a cheap quote. Then again customers can make odd decisions so who knows?
 
If us plumbers got a pound for everytime we wer down or stressed about getting a quote we would be billionaires !
 
Lol, if they haven't learned their lesson after the first cheap guy bodged it up, they don't deserve you mate.
 
They'll accept the quote in about three weeks, when they've had more expensive quotes and realise its a good price. Hopefully you'll have a load of decent work on and you can turn it down.
