Had a leak from shower drain that crushed through the family room ceiling below. Called Plumber.ca and was quoted $99.00 charge for diagnosing problem and providing an estimate to repair. I agreed and took advantage of a $25 discount coupon. Plumber showed within 2 hours. He took a look, went to his truck and returned with a quote for $1352.00. I asked how long a job it was to fix and was advised that it would take "about two hours". I said that's a very high hourly rate and he said "it includes parts" and customers prefer flat rates. I said I did not, what would it be hourly and re responded that "we don't do that". I asked him to call the office and come up with a better price and he returned telling he "it's your lucky day; $1000". I told him to leave, paid $74.00 + tax, called another plumber and had it fixed for $412.00 two hours later. Plumber.ca is a place that you're best to stay away from. Pity the elderly....
