Plumbing can be a major expense, and nowhere is that more apparent than in simple repairs such as replacing a showerhead and taps.
You might be tempted to think, “Well, why not just purchase a tap at Bunnings for under $100, install it myself and be done with it. After all, the tap is under warranty and I may not even be here in 5 years.”
Warranty Woes
This seems simple enough – and it would be – except most warranties are void unless a plumber installs your shower or tap. And in the case of replacing an existing basin or shower tap, the cost will be double, since the licensed workman must do both the removal, and the installation, if you want your warranty in full effect.
So, how much could this possibly cost, you ask? The typical cost of having a tap either removed or installed, is around $180, so double that, plus the cost of your tap for a neat $440 initial installation for a start. Now consider that this warranty only covers the least expensive part of the repair, the tap itself, and the fact that inferior parts have a habit of wearing out within a year or two, and now you’re looking at $440, plus $360 to have it replaced in two years, and additional $360 two years after that.
Since your warranty is only five years, on the third replacement, you are on your own and will have to undergo the total cost again, and start the cycle over. Not to mention price increases! So, what’s a homeowner to do when it comes to getting a good deal on quality plumbing? After all, you’re handy, you could do the job yourself if it weren’t for the pesky warranty.
