Most plumbers have a minimum charge that involves a call out fee and a minimum amount of time. In my area, the minimum is around $85 and that includes the first hour of time. Parts are extra. If it isn't an emergency, you can sometimes negotiate a smaller fee with less control on when they show up.
My service call is $175 per hr per Man (not including traveling time if applicable ) Parts are extra
The key to hiring someone is making sure the person doing the service call is the one actually licensed as the master plumbing license protects the consumer not the plumber and make sure they are insured.
To many franchises will pay someone minimum scale send them to the unsuspecting victims homes and charge top dollar for a non skilled employee who had no formal training
It is not uncommon to have master plumber hire someone for less them $10 per hr ( I pay a mechanic $65 per hr as everyone needs to make a decent living and the helper receives $25 per hr with yearly raises if they continue to learn)
The unscrupulous contractors say they are sending over a "tech" to beat licensing laws and paying these people chump change and have have no problem billing $85 - $200 per hr for a stumble bum that cannot pass the simplest of apprentice tests
Always ask to see the plumbing license of the person actually doing the work as a master will normally have the required insurance
If you have a non licensed person working in your home the insurance company may not pay a claim also if the person is non insured and gets hurt they can sue you and win ..
You get what you pay for The person above would possibly also look for a cut rate medical provider that did not bother to get a medical license
People when they realize the cost of doing business and understand about over head and paying people a decent salary so they too can own a home and have a better life for their family can appreciates why some of the more legitimate companies charge more then the guy standing on the corner AKA a day worker

There should be two small notches in the body of the faucet that line up with bumps on the cartridge.
