bathroom fittings???

[CLAYS TILES]

hi all,
i have now completed my plumbing course & water regs,so now i'm ready to go out & along with my tiling i'm now offering to do bathroom fittings!
here's my question - wot would be the going rate to do a full bathroom fitting??
not the tiling i can do that seperate,i'm more concerned of the fittings (bath,wc,basin etc) inc. any pipework changes if needed???

thanks in advance
Daz

I think your best advice would be to start reasonable and increase as you confidence and experience builds.

As you will secure the tiling on these installs and that trade is well established you could possibly set your stall to make on that aspect while you play with the figures on the fitting. Without under selling yourself but get greedy and you will struggle.


Best of luck m8

thats the plan m8, not sure how it will pan out,but anything to get out of the job i'm in now, i'm even considering a plastering course? maybe 6 months down the track!

just a thought
have you informed your insurance company you,ll find the premiums will rise dramatically
its the gas and water

labour on a full refurb is about a grand to 13 hundred
thats a standard 6 x 6 with no shower
taking of showers dont touch the electrix you have to be jib

hi daz, may not be much help but have seen a couple of local bham ads recently. people advertising to just replace bath,sink and wc like for like. one was £350 the other £380. bit ball park, might help though. Dave

I added plumbing to my liability cover and it didn't go up at all.
I am covered for "basic" water plumbing - NO GAS.
Also I can't solder on site, that would have pushed the premium up by 40% which isn't an issue seeing as I use push fit and compression only. Any awkward plumbing and I call in a real plumber. A tiler's got to know his limitations!!!

Oh, and I asked this question a number of weeks ago. I think the going rate for a like-for-like bathroom install, with only basic alterations to plumbing is £400 - £500 for WC / Basin / Bath.

aye its the gas that pushes the rate up
but its worth it when you concider the price of pushfitt and conex fittings compared to endfeed

I charge between £350 and £450 to strip out and replace a suite, allowing 2 days to do it. Make sure you estimate the fittings as they can soon mount up more so if you are using pushfits. When connecting up the bath taps I always use a flexi fitting with a push fit.........it makes life so much easier that trying to get your grips in what is normally a confined working area.

Have fun and double check any joints, it's a good feeling when you commision it and have no drips.

Round here it's around £350 for like for like swap over of bath\ WC and basin.
