From what you tell us, this does not appear to be a strata problem. Since you are renovating your kitchen the costs of this are your responsibility.
Not entirely sure about that. Surely if the strata scheme sent a plumber, for whatever reason, and two turned up and then overcharged, then the strata scheme should wear some of the responsibility.
I’m sorry to say this but tradies employed by strata schemes are notorious for overcharging. My builder got slugged with a double charge for an “emergency after-hours call-out” … at 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon. We were too embarrassed at having caused a leak to complain, but it made me determined to never use that plumber again if I could possibly avoid it.
