How much would you pay for this plumbing job?

Question

If you hired a plumber to change your whole set of shower k***s (where you turn on the shower) including all the supplies that the plumber buys for you...what is a reasonable price to pay the plumber for service and supplies?

And would you have hired a plumber to change shower k***s and the whole set or done it yourself?

Answer 1

lf it's just the k***s and not the pipes, DYI

Answer 2

You can do it yourself if the new k***s are compatible with the shower valve you have.

Answer 3

I would of done it myself when I had 15 minutes with nothing else to do. It would cost me the price of the new k***s. I guess if you hired a plumber he would charge you for a service call and twice as much as he paid for the k***s. And he would be laughing at how easy money can be stolen.

Answer 4

We had to change the kitchen faucet.  I bought it myself at a home supply store and called a plumber to install it because the pipes had to be cut and hoses put on.  The labor cost around 50.00.  I wouldn't think that a shower faucet would be any more expensive than that.

Answer 5

plumbers pricing are different depending on where you live, if plumber used his knowledge and his time, truck,GAS, etc toget the correct parts, don't complain. It's a simple job for him/her but they are doing something that you needed. If your sewer was stopped up and your toilets were overflowing, would you complain when he fixed problem? Same truck,time,gas, knowledge.
