Plumber replaced Kohler cartridge in shower/bath. Leaked again after he left. Returned to replace it again, but this time he said the valve body was leaking, so he shut-off water to entire apartment unit (not the building). Now wants to charge $2000 to replace the valve and install new trim kit, using Wolverine Brass products. The shower is tiled and there is no access from other side of wall. Apartment was built in 2005. New owner did not move in yet.
Q1 - Is this fair?
Q2 - Wolverine Brass? Plumber said, "there isn’t too many choices since the tile will not be taken out. This is the only company that sells a kit that can be installed where tile person is not needed. I been installing them for the last 20 years"
