That is the same quote they gave my friends. That was for a gas water heater that had no leaks but wouldn't retain a flame. Actual need was a new thermocouple ($35 next day delivery from Amazon). If the tank isn't leaking, you don't necessarily need a new water heater. I had same problem and fix 6 months ago. Different plumber proposed new tank but at much lower cost. I chose the $35 self repair.
