Default Re: price for 2 second fix bathrooms?

I have the same problem, I took out and installed like for like: -

*1400mm Acrylic Corner Bath (including one hole mixer and cable driven waste)

*1000mm Corner Shower (including tray, waster, valve, fixed arm and head, extra hand shower and hose including small pipework alteration)

*600mm Basin (including single lever basin mixer, waste, semi ped and chased out wall to hide pipes for new wall hung look)

*Concealed Cistern Back to Wall WC

*Monsoon 2.5 bar Pump (a new addition obviously)

And swapped out taps in two other rooms.

This is my first Private Job (as a favour to a friend who is a builder) as I normally do pricework on site which is a lot different in costing. I had a look elsewhere at other's prices and £800 seemed to be the lowest I should go in at????

I took £300 before i started and now they want to know how much more they owe? I don't know what to say, i want to do it cheaper than a normal plumber as it's a favour, but what would a plumber normally charge, is £1000 the norm for this amount of work? All top end designer goods too.

£600 as a favour or £800/1000 to joe blogs (note without seeing the job this is just an estimate , you should have an idea how long it will take and what you need to do (you are the only one who can set the price for your own work) every one has there own prices there is never a fixed price
