    It might be worth calling and letting the plumber know that the RE has passed the charge to you - sometimes they charge crazy fees because they know they can. Total shit practice, but maybe it’s worth a try?

      plumber is RE’s brother in law*

      I don’t know this but knowing the ethical nature of RE’s it would not surprise me

        Haha nah not this time. Definitely the case at my old Epping place, but not here. This plumber is from a company, seems rather large when I googled.

      I already paid it this morning and I cannot be bothered asking about it tbh. I could probably negotiate it down, but I just want it to be done and to focus on drying out the carpet and skirting board to assess repairs.

      It’s a $500 lesson to not freak out and check my own appliances before calling anyone lol!
