if it was an after hours callout then that price is about right, but if the seal between the ballvavle and cistern was leaking it means that it was over flowing (due to worn washer in the valve) and he may have put a new valve in (about £6 from B&Q) then it should have only took about an hour so you should really be looking at around £60

yeah the parts were £6 so that sounds like the bit, and no not after hours so i'll be on to him tomorrow, thanks lads

yes mate - i'm a plumber and he's taking the piss.

 

is it the float valve in the cold water cistern in the loft or a WC cistern - either way 1 hrs work at £60 plus parts max £10

 

unless he has had problems shutting off the water for any reason.

 

Pm me if you want mate
