Hey guys....don't normally come in this section!! just wondering how much you guys charge for putting in a straight swap bath,basin and ped,c/c wc, elec shower and putting in a heated towel rail?? haven't done anything like this for awhile...but its for a friend of a friend!! normally just stick to the heating side of things. Any comments would be welcome.

no such thing as a straight swap, as you always have to fiddle or adjust something!

Think yoare looking at £800 ish, depending how much work the electric shower takes - however bargain basement plumbing I am not - this is full wack and rightfully so, as I am experienced and do the job properly without mishap . . .

straight swop bathroom i usually price at 350 for a pretty standard suite anything fancy obviously it goes up this would include the usual bits and bobs new pan con traps and small alterations to supplies
towel rail and valves as supplied by customer drain cut back under floor and alter about 150
electric shower again if supplied by customer and replacing an existing more or less straight swop 80 quid
so id round it up and call it 600
extra if they want me to clear the rubbish

I used to fall into this trap,thinking to myself,I have this and that in shed any way but you have still paid for bits at some time so should be charged out accordingly

Usually £300 for materials and daily rate. Based on one day for WC, one for basin, one for bath, one for supply, one for waste, one for HTR, one for shower tray, one for screen, one for shower, one for tiling, one for grouting and cleaning up. A simple bathroom with WC, basin and bath is probably two days and a complete change with underfloor heating, tiling, painting and woodwork nearly three weeks.

It all depends ... as changing a WC and nothing else can easily take just a couple of hours - I've said this to prove I'm not a snail!!

unlesss the bits that are in the garage were aquired and not bought, but i still agree they should be charged for, have to admit i am way under the prices you guys are talking about, i know some are talking about stripping tiles and removing rubbish etc as extras, but we used to do a straight swap bathroom suite and a sink unit in the same house, the labourers dumped all the rubbish and we kept the scrap, all done for 3.30pm every day, even as a homer i would be looking to be finished by 4.30 so 8 x what you charge ph plus £50 for bits
