Time estimate?

There's no such thing as a quick job!

Everybody does! People think any plumbing task, no matter what, is "just a quick job"... 😀

I have to laugh when I am asked to do a hard full days work and customer says they will be home at 3.30 to let me do the job! :smile:

how is it you can take your car in for a new wing and spray after a minor scuff and it takes the 4 days to do?

even i can do that job in a day!!!!!

Chalk it up as lessen learned. If he worked 10 days then he needs paying that amount. I would not be pleased if some know all builder undermined me to a customer. Nor would I appreciate a customer dictating how long a job would take.

It's really none of the customers business how long a job takes and if you had no agreement up front then you haven't a leg to stand on. Should have got a quote to include timescales and cost. That's how you decide on which contractor to use.

I'd of said 7-10 days without seeing the job, with or without other trades In the way, that would be for quality neat job, not lashed in

I've list count if the times when a builder says " there's just a couple of days work"
The trouble is , they will give an estimate and never allow enough time for us.
I always say, let me price the job

Quite annoying hearing another story of "shall I pay this plumber?"
What on earth do people think paying a plumber is discretionary?
If he worked there and got the work done he can charge you any reasonable amount by law. Thats the position you are in if you have no quote. Its not up to you to decide what reasonable is either.

Next time get a quote..

I think the op gets the point.

Shall we leave it there?
