Cost to replace ideal logic 24+ sump

[James Firth]

Hi all,
I have been informed my boiler sump on my ideal logic 24+ has a crack. A common fault on the ideals by the looks of it. I can source the sump for about 55 quid. How much would you say is reasonable to replace the part.
Ps I've just had my boilers serviced and they never noticed the rust for weere it has been leaking which is a little disconcerting.
Regards Jim

any rust within a boiler case is potentially serious, you should have been told .
I changed a sump on one a month ago , admittedly a regular customer, I charged £60 plus cost of sump .

Has it rusted through?

Did they take the cover off , or was it a “ drive-by “ service .

 

[James Firth]

Oh yes mate. All around the trap where its been dripping

I wasn't here but my mum was and said her was her for a while concerned with there service. I haven't had the bill yet so might contest paying the full amount for them service.

So how do you know it’s the sump?

 

[James Firth]

Crack seems to be in the usual place

So you've took the boiler cover off and removed the sump cover?

 

[James Firth]

I know what your gonna. And yes I did. It was leaking water everywhere. It's all back on now.
The boiler was turned off and I have readers in the cupboard. I haven't messed with anything else.

You now need to get someone in to make sure that it is all ok. As you have taken the case off.

Well I'll need someone to change the sump. Its been ordered. So should hopefully be here on Wednesday. I'll just have to live with the leak until then.
