Working week = 40 hours, two weeks = 80 hours ... £35 per hour x 80 = £2,800 ?
But anyway, the bottom line for most customers will be the price.

Unfortunately so. Had a customer who had her bathroom done 12 months ago, absolutely disgraceful workmanship, charged her 750 and disappeared. I came in and re did the bathroom using the existing sanitaryware, it was more than double the first mob. She's over the moon with the bathroom now, before she wouldn't let anybody use it as she was ashamed of it.

Nice one Simon.
But as far as the subject of this thread goes, anything over 2k for labour is good going in the current times - whether someone works with a tiler and cracks on with it, or whether someone plods along doing it all on their own over a couple of weeks and takes the full wedge out of it.
Reasonable in my mind = good for both parties
Customer gets the quality work they expect.
Contractor makes a weeks wages plus profit.
Maybe I have been lucky but all my customers are inclined to look at the quality they are getting.
I have customers come back a year after the original quote to get the job done, some people do save and when its not enough continue saving to get what they want.
