How is the op being ripped off ? he has been quoted a price so its take it or leave it, if he can get it cheaper good for him but he isint being ripped off .
 
It’s just words mate, we know what he’s trying to say, don’t make a meal of it. "Am I going to be overcharged if I accept this quote". "Am I paying more than I need to for this repair". Or similar. People come on here for help, not criticism. Help the OP if you can, say nothing if you can’t.
 
Those valves can be serviced in situ. £400 for a complete valve swap isn’t over the top.

Ask if he can refurb it for you. The kits are readily available. I’ve done loads and it’s always been straight forward
 
I am not the one using the words "ripped off" why not get 3 quotes instead of coming on a plumbers forum complaining about repair costs.
 
Are you a boiler repairer ? just a question as you agreed that it "looks like it" he was being ripped off.

Well I guess he doesn't know if that's a typical price.

I don't think he is complaining, he isn't saying "I'm not paying that much", he is saying "is the price more than it should be"

No, I was assuming he was asking a question similar to what I and Notch7 has said and if that is the question, my answer would still be 'looks like it'.

"Am I going to be overcharged if I accept this quote". Looks like it
"Am I paying more than I need to for this repair". Looks like it.
"Is the price more than it should be". Looks like it.
 
So mottie has no idea what a repair costs but is happy to point out that it "looks like it" the op is being ripped off:rolleyes: as I said before the op used the words ripped off.
