Real-Life Examples

Dispute over a leaking tap:
A plumber spends an hour replacing a washer, charges £65, and leaves thinking the job’s sorted. Two days later, the customer rings—water is still dripping, and now there’s a puddle under the sink. The customer insists the plumber didn’t fix the problem and wants their money back. The plumber’s invoice just says “replace washer,” with no photos or notes about the condition of the tap. The customer threatens to post a negative review and mentions “reasonable care and skill” under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Caira suggests offering a free revisit, but the customer refuses, demanding a refund and warning they’ll take it to small claims court. The plumber scrambles to find any evidence—did they take a photo, or get a signature? If not, Caira explains what to document next time and how to prepare a defence if the claim goes ahead.

Unexpected rotten floorboards:
A plumber quotes £180 to replace a shower tray. Once the old tray is lifted, the floorboards underneath are black, soft, and crumbling. The plumber takes a quick photo on their phone, but forgets to send it to the customer. The job can’t continue without replacing the boards, which will cost an extra £120 in materials and labour. The customer is at work, unreachable, and returns home to find the bathroom half-dismantled. They accuse the plumber of “making up problems” to inflate the bill. The plumber’s only evidence is a blurry photo and a pile of rotten wood. Caira prompts the plumber to send a revised quote and a clear explanation, but the customer is still suspicious, demanding proof the extra work was necessary.

Quote vs. estimate confusion:
A customer is quoted “around £250” for a boiler service and minor repairs. The final invoice arrives: £370, with extra charges for parts and two hours of additional labour. The customer insists they agreed to a fixed price, not an estimate, and refuses to pay the difference. The plumber’s paperwork is vague—no signed quote, just a text message saying “should be about £250.” The customer threatens to withhold payment and escalate the dispute. Caira helps the plumber dig through emails and texts, clarifies the legal difference between a quote and an estimate, and drafts a response explaining the extra costs. If the dispute goes to small claims, Caira helps prepare a summary of what was agreed and what evidence is missing.

Material quality dispute:
A plumber installs new pipework for £420, specifying copper in the quote. The customer later spots plastic fittings under the sink and claims the plumber “cut corners” and used cheaper materials. The plumber insists the plastic was only used for a short section, due to space constraints, and the rest is copper. The customer demands a partial refund, saying they paid for copper throughout. The plumber’s invoice lists “pipework,” but doesn’t specify materials. There are no photos, and the supplier’s receipt is missing. Caira helps the plumber gather what evidence they can—photos, supplier emails, and a written explanation referencing the Consumer Rights Act’s requirement for “satisfactory quality.” If the customer remains unhappy, Caira explains the next steps, including mediation or preparing for a formal complaint.

Call-out charge challenge:
A plumber charges £45 for a call-out, but the customer refuses to pay, claiming they were never told about the fee. The plumber insists the charge was mentioned during the booking call, but there’s no written confirmation or text message. The customer says they expected a free quote, not a paid visit, and threatens to leave a bad review and report the plumber to Trading Standards. Caira helps the plumber search for any evidence—was the call recorded, or was a confirmation email sent? If not, Caira drafts a polite response explaining the standard practice and what the customer agreed to, and outlines what to do if the dispute escalates.

Spreadsheet support in action:
If you keep a spreadsheet of jobs, costs, or customer payments, you can upload it directly. Caira will review your data, help you spot issues, prepare summaries, or answer questions based on your actual numbers—making it easier to manage your business and resolve disputes.

How to Get Started—It’s Simple
Begin by telling Caira what you’d like to achieve or what challenge you’re facing—whether it’s a customer complaint, a tricky quote, or a question about materials or guarantees.
If you have documents—like quotes, job sheets, photos, or spreadsheets—you can upload them (just redact any personal details). This helps Caira give more relevant answers.

Ask your questions, such as “How do I respond to a complaint about a leaking tap?”, “What should I do if a customer refuses to pay for extra work?”, or “What are my rights if a customer claims I caused damage?”

Caira will help you build a checklist of what to do next, so you can review and verify your position before you respond or take further action.
