Taps and Showers

[spanner]

Couldn't believe this. Wasn't expecting to do this. Cornered taps centres of 150mm. As the standard 180mm. Custards bought on amazon and had to drill hole in Bath. Never wanted to do it! It was the only option and drilled with permission.
Took the two h&c taps out of basin drilled a centre hole in basin for mono "instead of money"
What I can't get over is how custard was telling me what to do and "have I got the tools"
Anyway took couple of hours and charged £50.
Defo "money-block" tap

That's £25 an hour! We get more than that up north!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

£50 is that it?

I'm of the opinion that you're just kidding when you say you charged £50? That is less than half price for the job. Customer cannot make a ''mistake'', then you bail them out for FREE. They must think Xmas came early.
1) I wouldn't have done it &
2) If they insisted & gave consent as they did, I'd have done it at a price. Minimum I would have charged, £120. May be £100 if they are elderly couple but no less.

It's up to you what you charge, but your selling yourself short mate.

If spanner is telling the truth, then he really needs to revisit his pricing/charging structure. It's way too cheap. Ant to think the customer keep asking if he had the right tools or telling him how to do it? I'd have given them a bill to remember. That way, they will at least consult a plumber b4 buying stuff, or get the plumber to buy it.

Exactly what NEVER had happened.
Bit tricky..
Just moved in..
Calls me Thursday afternoon.
Says waters leaking out of Bath taps..
Gets there 2000hrs
He turned up 20:30
And "NO PRESTO"
No leaks no nothing!
Just "can you fit these taps"
Went straight home,
