Is this price right?

To be honest, this is not 3 days work, you are looking at 1-2 days chasing walls and moving pipes.
Your op says that it wont need any pipes moving but they will need to be put in the walls so they will be moved.
Then you have got plasterboard, insulation, plaster, grout, adhesive and ply wood.

The tiles are brick style so 2-3 days to do this properly,
plastering 2 days (+ a day to dry)
plus rubbish removal
plus fitting new appliances

so in total you are looking at around £1000 materials plus 10-12 days labour

4,375 - 1000 materials % 12 = £281 a day = £141 each per day (not including coming back and fixing any problems)

to be honest I could do this a lot cheaper as not vat registered and there is only one of me (and only live in Aylesbury)
but not bad to be honest.

it does look like more than 3 days work tbh, its too hard to comment over the internet. As others have suggested get a few ore quotes and compare them.

All I was saying was I could do it for less then that and I know for a fact I could, even if I contract the tiling, plastering etc, I don't usually give a price but as said before I am a small business,and dont pay vat,etc So will charge less then the company that quoted.

Of course you can charge less, everyone can, "Never mind the quality, feel the width"

I am a small business, in fact a few small businesses, first thing I did was register for VAT, I was never the cheapest yet I have customers who after more than 30 years still use my services today.

Quality always sells itself.

As said - if in doubt get 2 more quotes.
I have read the description and the price sounds very reasonable.
2 days - no way!
£2000 - not if it is done by professional skilled tradesman, perhaps by some odd job man who also claims benefits!
BTW we do that kind of work every week - in Kent.

Personally, I think that was uncalled for. It's not like he's attacked you.

And honestly, why would you want to quote for someone who's speculating the price they've been given on a forum?

People will pay what they want to pay, based on their perception of what you can offer them. It's not all about price.

Necks should all be wound back in as quickly as possible. Jase, word of advice. Please don't.

Doctor Croppie says go have a beer, relax and breath.

Closing this thread before bans, infractions and slapped thighs are issued.

I've discussed this thread with REDSAW, it ended up as a jelly wrestling bout. Neither of us won but the upshot is I'm reopening the thread.

Any more cheap shots at each other will will result in infractions. If you have an issue with another members post please either resolve it via pm or report it to us to deal with.

It's at least 5 days to do that properly and anyone than one person on a bathroom install is unproductive due to the lack of room this sounds like a higher price than usual but my rates are higher than usual but I don't get any complaints or call backs. So depends on the plumbers
