      I would of charged for that revisit too. "The customer should always pay for your mistakes" thats my motto. Then after I charged them full whack for the second visit, I would of ripped the boiler off the wall and told them it needs replaced. These customer types need to know whos boss. I like to do that with massive unexpected bills, they'll definitely recommend me to their friends, family and neighbours then🫡

    Next time you get some of those heads stuck on the tap splines, with them still in the basin, get your bender former and wack it from underneath, usually does the trick, yes had loads of problems with the Worcester traps over the years, replaced the top o rings and they’ve still leaked, poor design , try and avoid taking them out now unless really bad, I would have done the same though and not charged
