I think that's true - they usually have to make two visits - one to diagnose and order the correct parts needed and another to come and fix it. With a Water heater, they'd have to disconnect everything, open it up, diagnose it, seal it up, re install it so you have water and then order the parts.
Rinse-repeat for the repair.
I can see that being more expensive than $300-400 for a new 40GAL hot water tank.
It'd be nice to get a definitive answer though
