Best replacement for an immersion heater?

If it retails for £1300 he will only be paying £1000 max from the wholesaler.

I think you need another quote. The guy you are dealing with may have a lot of work on and is just bumping his prices up thinking he doesn’t really want the job but if he can get £12/1300 a day it would be too good to turn down.

That may be applicable in the electrical game but certainly not Plumbing.

The price of boilers/cylinders on the net is what we pay over the counter. On some occasions we may save £30-50 but thats rare.

The merchants profit margin on boilers/cylinders varies between £10-30.

I always get 3 quotes. That will give you a idea if you're being ripped.

Don't forget the disposal costs of the old unit. Trades can't just drop it in a bin and walk away, and the fines for illegal disposal can be many £1000's.

Fair enough, maybe the plumbing wholesale trade is not as cut throat as the electrical one. I see Vent Axia fans on-line that are nearly £300 that I pay £99 for. Almost every accessory I see at Screwfix is cheaper through my wholesaler. Thought it was the same for the Plumbs.
