daftie Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Can anybody recommend a good plumber/tradesman in West Lothian area. Have quite a small bathroom, so looking at options of replacing entire suite or removing bath for shower enclosure possibly. Just looking for somebody who is competitively price and comes recommended so I know I am not being ripped off. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) The amount of plumbers that don't get back to you with a quote is incredible They may be good at fitting bathrooms and central heating but in my experience most cannot write an email or give any reply, it's like they just poke their nose at the job to see if they fancy it, only one bloke out of half a dozen got back and quoted £6k just to fit and I was supplying the lot I remember I had a plumber that charged me £50 for fixing a leak in a fitting with the rubber washer I supplied Be aware a lot of shark's oot there Edited December 7, 2020 by Ma Roon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly bad manners not getting back to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a plumber to visit and give a price to install but found him to be a bit expensive so we got someone else. Also had a problem with mirror they supplied and they sent out new one no problem.

That isn’t always reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
