Cos they daft as brushes?
You did right.
Hope you laughed tho. My comment used to be (in a patronising tone), "Sorry, but I'd want to do it properly. Good luck tho!" Say the last bit like you know they'll sodding need it. That'll set the doubts in her head... Had a few come back after that.

Should be able to charge premium prices for good quality workmanship, so many people judge on price....

Remember the adage "the sweetness of cheap is long forgotten after when the install all falls apart, leaks, breaks etc"

Custards need to be educated in "VALUE FOR MONEY"
