My wife called plump perfect as I could not find leak in shower/bath.
I also could not remove old moen (stuck) cartridge to replace with new one. Plumb Perfect representative arrived took a look at the valve and tried to remove cartridge (with my tools screwdriver & pliers). After briefly trying He went outside & came back in with a briefcase and a quote to fix the problem. Replace shower valve $700-$800 +hst. I was upset: I asked him why he did not bring in his (plumbing) tools. I also questioned his competence & business ethics. As replacing the valve is pretty much the most expensive (unnecessary) fix for the problem. We paid him his fee for coming and told him to leave.
I decided to drill a small hole in the cartridge, put a screw halfway in and use the pliers to pull the old cartridge out. IT WORKED !
Moral of the story I'm not a plumber but I fixed it. They are plumbers who choose to try and take advantage of us. Do not use Plumb Perfect.
