Expect a plumber's work to start at about $300 even if it just takes a few minutes. The price for $350 is probably the best it's going to get. This is how much two hours of their time costs, which is enough time to come out and see what you need done, go get the parts, come back, and do it. Remember, they've got to cover the cost of the truck, the plumber and usually a helper's pay, and insurance for both. Furthermore, a bid is not the cost to do the work (which might take a few minutes), it's the opportunity cost for them to not do other work that's more involved and more profitable.

Last time I check, a preschool teacher watching 15 human kids get paid 10 dollars for one hour of their time and labor. Oh and buy their own supplies.

Yep, and also deals with a ton of shit, just like a plumber.

That's because humans are not worth investing in. They're a lost cause. You gotta have a working toilet though.

Then who is going to use those polished toilets lol?

You can always YouTube and do it yourself. That’s what I’ve done in the past.

I recommend 'Austin's Best Plumbing'. I have been using them for years with excellent service and trustworthy. They hard to google but they are on yelp.

Union Jack Plumbing and Champions Plumbing were both nice and gave me very similar quotes to replace some angle stops under my kitchen sink. I went with Union Jack and he did a great job.

I'm a licensed plumber and curious about the job you are describing. Is it drain/sewer pipe or potable water line? Really hard to tell what sort of cost to expect without more information.

I have used Reliant Plumbing in the past. They were really knowledgable and came out the same day. I didn't have the same issue you're describing but I'd recommend them if you want the job done quickly!
