Bathroom pricing question

[JPLUMB]

Trying to price up for some work for someone, they want shower tray fitted toilet and basin in downstairs bathroom, and upstairs bathroom they want me to tile the shower cubical, fit concealed shower, basin and toilet, is £900 to much? To cheap??

Work out how long this will take you and times that by the rate for your area as a basic price.

Way too cheap I would be that for one inc fittings /tube etc

 

[JPLUMB]

Okay I did think it was cheap but was worried about ripping them off, so you think more like £1500 plus?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Without seeing it I would say that’s better

 

[JPLUMB]

Okay does it make a difference that 80% of the first fix is being done by someone else??

 

[ShaunCorbs]

As in what are they doing ?

 

[JPLUMB]

Running hot and colds to the basins and toilets for both bathrooms and they put the soil stack in, its an extension so only stud walls up currently

I'd be 3k+ as a rough guess

I'm just looking at receipts on a bathroom I'm nearly done with.
Standard small bathroom about 1.7m x 2m
Adhesive and grout was about £100
Pipe and fittings inc a couple of soil fittings and traps etc and some trim £400
Looking at about 8 days work inc plastering, tiling etc
Should be about 3k with customer paying ontop for suite.

If you price it too keenly then you'll be rushing to get done and won't do right by yourself or your customer.
I wouldn't price a job like that all as one, I'd separate the different areas atleast and put in a high estimate (add a day or two).
You can let the customer know what time you think it could take but that you hope it will go much smoother and will reflect that in the bill.
By separating the jobs you can build in twice the contingency and separate your liability should there be any issues.

Thanks for the advice guys

Far to cheap bud break the job down into its different sections and work out a costing for each I'm sure you'll realise there's a couple of weeks work there . Kop
