I recently had some plumbing work done and paid $300 for a toilet wax ring installation and $200 for a water heater flush. I didn't shop around for quotes because this company had done solid work for me in the past. Is this a reasonable price, or did I overpay?

It sounds like you might have overpaid a little, especially since those materials are pretty cheap and those tasks can be done fairly easily. But considering labor costs, it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable. If you’re in a high cost of living area, prices like these can add up quickly for the peace of mind that comes with hiring a pro. Just a friendly tip: next time, maybe look up how to do those repairs yourself! You could save a bundle!
Yeah, if you're willing to tackle it, YouTube has lots of great tutorials for these kinds of jobs.
