I used to charge £2,000 for a bathroom rip out, and put new suite back in, not always with the same layout, fully tiled walls and floors. We would supply adhesive but they paid for tiles and suite. Used to take 5 days mostly. The odd time 4 and a bit, the odd time 6 though. Used to do them week in week out. I actually enjoyed it when we got the odd job that didn't include a bathroom rip out!

Mind you that was before 2008 market crash and all that stuff. Not sure if that's even possible these day even with the best of customers.

£220. I'd have kicked him in the nuts for wasting my time getting the van out.
