I've been having problems with my Maxi Combi boiler. I called a plumber and he said that the expansion vessel needed replacing and that although the vessl itself only costs around £70+VAT, it would take a day to fit and hence another £500+VAT. He suggested I might be better off with a new boiler.
As a complete plumbing novice, can anyone out there let me know if this sounds reasonable. He said that because the expansion vessel is at the back, he would have to remove the boiler to do the repair, which is the same amount of effort as fitting a new boiler. I have no reason to doubt that, but it is always useful to get other opinions.
I wondered if it might be worth signing-up to Heateam's fixed price repair service as that might be cheaper, but they have very mixed review. Does anyone out there have experience of their service.
Many thanks for any thoughts on this.
