long story short.
4 months ago i did a job fitting a shower cubicle and shower (which required a pump) and a sink.
To fit the pump i had to t off the hw cylinder cos it was a tight fit for anything else.
customer agreed to this but i also showed them what the previous plumber had done and that it might affect me (the pipe and nut was pushed right into the tank at the top).
i completed the job fitting new pipework but got a call that night. the hw cylinder was leaking at the top. i repaired it via soldering the joint and went home.
2 days later they called me back and said my services were no longer required and that they had not used the hw cylinder cos they were frightened it would explode or something...but i must add ----it was used via the emmersion and not the arga for 4 months until this letter cos they had trouble getting a plumber.
we came to an ammicable conclusion being that i would forfeit any more monies and that was that.
now 4 months has passed and they sent me a letter stating that they got someone else in who renewed all the pipework to the shower and fitted new hw cylinder and supplied a new shower pump and that it cost them an extreme lot of money.
they state in letter that they saw i had fully insured written on my business card and now require compensation of £800 to cover the costs.
at start of job i gave quote of £430 of which a percentage was materials excluding pump.
deposit was £120 which was paid.
have i a leg to stand on??????
