Rip-Off Allegations and Poor Service
Several reviewers have accused Plumbfirst of being a "rip-off" company that overcharges customers for their services. They have reported being quoted exorbitant prices for simple jobs, with one reviewer being charged $3800 for a hot water replacement that could have been done for $300 by a local plumber. Another reviewer was quoted $2000 to clear a blocked stormwater pipe, only to find that the job could have been done without the need for excavation.
Unreliable and Untrustworthy
Reviewers have also reported poor service from Plumbfirst, including failures to show up on time, unreturned calls, and a lack of communication about job status. One reviewer was left waiting for two days for a plumber to arrive, only to be told that the plumber might not arrive at all. Another reviewer was promised a refund of a deposit, but it took multiple calls and a month to receive the refund.
Deceptive Sales Tactics
Several reviewers have reported experiencing deceptive sales tactics from Plumbfirst, including high-pressure salesmanship, exaggerated quotes, and failure to disclose the true nature of the work required. One reviewer's 85-year-old mother was approached by a salesperson who advised her that work needed to be done in her backyard and quoted her $17,000 for the job, only for a second plumber to later advise that the work wasn't necessary.
Administrative Issues
Some reviewers have reported that Plumbfirst is experiencing administrative issues, including being put into external administration. This has left customers concerned about their warranties and ability to claim refunds.
