I recently had a small job done by a plumber, and I'm wondering if I got a bargain, paid a typical price for this task, or was overcharged. This is in the greater Los Angeles area. I'd appreciate some feedback on the reasonableness of what I was charged. Here are the details.
I had a 30-year old wobbly toilet. Plumber came out to inspect the job. He said he would remove the toilet, remove the old flange, install a new flange, and then reinstall the toilet. Said it would take a couple of hours, and the price would be $250. I agreed to that. He returned the next day and did what he said. It took him 1 hour and 45 minutes, 30 minutes of which were a trip by him to a nearby Home Depot to purchase the correct size/style/type flange - different than the small selection he already had on his truck. Toilet is now firm, and I'm satisfied with it.
Comments?
Thanks.
