My local plumber installed a valve repair kit and invoiced me $300+ parts+labor, and it STILL LEAKS, worse than before!

$85 - diagnose
$85 - pickup ordered part (grrh, ship it to my house..)
$85 - install valve
$75 - repair kit

Now he wants to cut through the wall and replace the whole thing with Moen.
It will cost me at least another $500.

All for a small drip, drip, drip !!

How should I deal with this issue. I just want to pay a fair price for a simple repair!

FRUSTRATED IN VERMONT..

If I would have walked into your house

I would have just told you to change the piece of

junk right off... with a DELTA 1700..... for $400


then it would have been your choice wether to gamble
on repairing it or not.....


I cant afford to fool around with that brand.....
