Cost to replace hinge on wooden fence gate?

A plumber also holds a plumbing licence which allows him to do the work ie has done a 4 year apprenticeship toeet the requirements of the water authority.

 

Plumbers have their place, but connecting a couple of flexi hoses to the taps is almost like screwing on a garden hose fitting to a tap.
Let the plumbers do the hard stuff where they have to use some skills and knowledge to keep them on the ball.

 

I had a hinge welded on a broken gate at one of my properties because I couldnt spare one of my blokes to go to Bunnings and get one and weld it on. That was last month.

93.50 pesos.

Have you been out to see Datto's tenants again

 

I thought that I recognized the MO.

 

My guesstimate would have been around $50-75, maybe $100 tops. This does not factor for callout fees or significant travel to/from the job site, as not all handymen charge the former, and the latter is entirely avoidable by using someone local.

I arrive at this amount based on

1. my guesstimate of the amount of time/effort required to do the job: (15-30mins), plus maybe up to 30mins extra time to go buy the part if they didn't already have it at hand.
2. prices (inclusive of parts/materials used) I've previously paid for handyman work that required a comparable/greater level of time/effort:
   • $176 to replace a wooden fence post (old one was rotted out near the base and leaning)
   • $75 to install a new Hills rotary clothesline (dig a hole, cement in the base of clothesline, minor assembly/installation of the rest of the clothesline)
   • $100 to replace a cracked shower floor tile

Unsure of relationship, though my understanding is that this handyman is on the PM's panel of contractors for this type of work.

The last time I had a plumber out to replace a kitchen sink mixer tap (burst pipe), it cost me $220.
