Hi Dan’s Plumbing - re Invoice 70765 You have invoiced us for $4,759.70 to replace a tempering valve in our apartment. Yes - the contract was signed - with some disbelief and questioning from my husband - and we moved forward because we had the best interests of our daughter and her flat mate in mind. On reading through the scope of works - this is outrageous. We would appreciate an explanation of the 41 line items before we pay the remaining $2,784.40.
I would be questioning this charge myself.
Thank you Hannah - I have since been made aware of the disciplinary action and have been in touch with the relevant commission/ parties - appreciate your reply.
Hi, I want to get a quote for replacing my gas hot tank to electric hot water system.
Recommended, but be sure to stipulate the make, model and capacity that you require and make sure that detail is on the quote. Dan's can also suggest the tank for your needs.
Why do you advertise no call out fees to provide a quote require a signature you say to allow you to view the job, do no works and charge $190 per minute. A life time guarantee ?
Because they are well known professional [Content Removed]
I agree. We were almost scammed $900 for a job that only cost us $120 with another plumbing group. Always ask for hourly rate.
For just one hour's work and a pretty small list of parts I think the charge was excessive. It's very interesting to use the up front flat fee pricing mode but all it does is hide the actual cost of labour and parts. Why don't you quote parts and labour??
Hi Snapper, We charge on an upfront fixed price. The price includes all labour, materials, service and our lifetime guarantee on all workmanship. The pricing would stay the same even if the plumber had unforeseen circumstances and the job takes longer then expected.
This way our customers will know up front what the job will cost.
Regards Dan's Plumbing Team
But my point isn't about the fixed price - it's understanding how you arrive at it. Don't tell me that one hour of work and a few simple parts can possibly justify $1670
I paid $1670 for a blocked drain. The guy was there 29 minutes exactly. He put some crystals in and i had to ask him if he was going to use the hydraulic suctioning pump.
you were [Content Removed] unfortunately. they gave me the same quote for a blocked drain and another plumber came and did it in 20 minutes for $250 total. These [Content Removed] operate under different names and have been on a current affair several times. Plumbcorp. Fastway Plumbing and Dans plumbling.
Ryan quoted $900 for a simple job. Previously completed for $120. I trusted by gut and went with Fairy Meadow plumbing, that charges by the hr. The job ended up costing $120 as we expected. We saved $780. They still charge you a call out fee for an over priced quote on a fancy ipad.
Dear Joey,
We offer all our customers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee are you able to provide me with a job number so i can look in to this for you,
Kind Regards, Dan's Plumbing
This is a hopeless service! We have waited for 2 days after initial booking - delay after delay, and not being honest! Not reliable at all!!!
I too had some muppet from PlumbCorp come and give me a "No Callout Fee" and charged me $40 and tried to con a $6700 for a gas water heater replacement. Why are you guys sending other companies out??
I can totally relate to this. I have been scammed as well and they found a loophole in the system so my review is rejected. They apparently operate under various names however registered under one licence. Previous owner and licence used have been suspended and mentioned on Current Affairs.
These people are [Content Removed], They also operate under Dans plumbling. They came out and tried to charge me 1600 to clear a bathroom pipe. I had it done for $250. They have been on a current affair many times but keep changing name and the dodge up their reviews so that people keep getting [Content Removed].
Yes they came to us with a different name called Ferguson plumbing. Never get service from them. They are [Content Removed]
Can confirm, these people will [Content Removed] you. Get another quote - they are complete crooks taking advantage of people.
They also threaten legal action with negative reviews, an absolute scam of a company.
Hi. - I just got a quote from one of your young guys Ryan who is charging $700 to fix a valve in a 7 year old toilet. - do you think that is reasonable . You guys have had some dreadful reviews -why is that and why is that so expensive please ?
Hi Gina, All our pricing includes lifetime guarantee, parts and labour. If anything goes wrong with our work we will come out and fix that free of charge for you. All our pricing is provided upfront before any work commences. If you are not happy with any pricing feel free to discuss this with the plumber while they are on site,
I have but we have already prepaid and there is little that can be done The young plumber was fabulous Extremely polite and adhered to all covid protocols And he was here for 45 minutes I would appreciate a call please
Hi Gina, No worries i will get someone from the team to contact you. Can you please provide the address or a job number along with your phone number as i can't find your details in the system. Thanks
0409525652 - quote number 28259/1 - Whilst your plumbers were of high calibre and your receptionist Taylor is excellent with customer service, I do believe that the charge was quite high. However I am willing to let this go through to the keeper in that I believe it is important to maintain a good relationship going forward with a trustworthy company. Perhaps consideration to re look at the charge would be a good idea also given we are seniors also. I would be more than happy to do a review of your services if you like
Hi Gina, Thanks for providing this. I have just spoken to Taylor and passed on the feed back. She mentioned that she will be processing a refund for you and will be emailing you this. I do hope you are happy with the service and that we can build a good relationship moving forward. Please do keep us in mind if you have any other plumbing needs in the future and if you were to leave a review that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
I should read this review first before i agreed to get them do the job. I think i get ripped off as well. Change the valve and they charged me $800. I just checked online the parts only cost $100 at bunning. Very dissatisfied n disappointed
