    Been had by a cowboy plumber

    Just been had by a dodgy plumber.

    He's fitted a new shower and not done agood job at all, on top of that his bill has leapt by £1000. Apparently the quote he gave me did not include part !?!?!

        Did he bang his tool hard and groan about a tight fitting?

          We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

                Did you get a written quote from him?

                If so: if it is quatified then check to see if the part is listed. If it was a lump sum check the wording - if it says quote for the complete shower works he has no leg to stand on

                If it was all verbal you be pooched

                  I had the quote sent as email so does that count as a legal document?
                  Not sure of the wording but will check when I get home.

                    Eh? This shower is costing you a grand more than expected - surely it's made out of gold?
