Getting convinced now it's me with plumbers
After my last saga with the basin tap in the bathroom, the mixer tap in the kitchen has been leaking from the bottom for a week or so. As I really would like to change the inset kitchen sink I have, asked on F/book for a plumber for said tap and also mentioned changing the sink. The problem is the worktop is quartz, I've had about 4 plumbers view previously, never hear from them again so this time I mentioned the leaking tap and the possibility of changing sink to an 'old fashioned' slot in over-unit. Had a few replies, one recommended so rang them last week, mentioned the quartz and that nobody wanted to know due to the quartz and he replied no problem at all to us. Anyway, appointment made last week for them to come today between 1 - 5 (4-hour time slot) and at 3.00 nice young lad arrived, looked at the tap and started taking photos on his phone. Yes, I needed new tap as cartridge had probably gone - though I did mention as per our Mr. Bird that they can be replaced for about £10, he said yes, but a lot of fiddling about and easier to change the tap. I asked about changing the sink which apparently was on his work-sheet anyway but he wasn't sure about that. Net result, the office will email me end of week or might be early next week with a quote.
I'm very inclined to telephone the firm and ask can they do it or not because I really couldn't see the point of the visit by a young man, hopefully a plumber, taking photos.
If they can't, I'll just get the tap changed by (hopefully again) a plumber who will come and look at it and can carry out the task without wasting any more time. I do apologise for rambling on again but these damn plumbers are getting me down!
