Leak from Soil Pipe

[RedNails]

Can anyone tell me how much I should expect to pay a plumber to fix a leak from the soil pipe. Th leak occurs when the toilet is flushed.

How long should the repair take?

The toilet is an Armitage Shanks - cannot read the writing/numbers on the soil pipe.

plastic or cast

I think it is plastic - the joining from the pipe end to the toilet certainly looks plastic.

depending on the exact prob

prob new pan connector and netty out to replace

2 hours at a push

like i say depending on a few factors

as for cost i forget what they are charging up there now

Thanks - so they can charge what they want then...gee I wish plumbers ate would learn if they charged reasonable rates, the word would spread and they would get more work. Heh-ho

if its any consolation marra

a decent plumber/pipefitter is on about $35 an hour here
plus free dental,optical and health insurance
