Replacing water inlet

I have just had a bathroom done and the plumber has told me if I phone the waterpeople they will come out to replace my I think he said inlet pipe f.o.c. as long as i had it dug round it, he would also have to do some work as well, but he has told me it would make a massive difference to water pressure etc, has anyone done this, whats involved and what will I gain, and what did plumber charge you.

    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
