When I first started ding appliance repair I gave free estimates, but realized some were using me to diagnose, then go DIY.
For me the diagnostic is the hardest part.
There have been times when it's something stupid like a breaker or a bad outlet and I'll usually waive the fee, or just ask for a 1/3 depends on if I did anything($20).

I would just offer it as a reduction to the estimate. Or waive the fee in the estimate
I can't imagine much small time plumbing repairs going to multiple bids. If you are there and offer a reasonable price, the job is typically yours
If you are actually going to communicate the diagnosis so that someone could wind up DIYing, well then I guess that is a service worth charging for.
