Not a cat in hells chance! As one trade finishes there isn't another trade waiting at the door to go in, I think he needs that explaining to him. No mention of paint removal from the existing non tiled walls either

I do all the work myself...but suffice to say i'm not even going to quote...i've been there done that...it will be a pain from the start...i always allow minimum 5 days to do a small bathroom and he has already shown his colours in his budget....re-use and the days allowed..50 miles round trip to assess.thats £10 in diesel down the drain.
 
I'd tell them both to take a hike !

By putting in a very decent price to make it worth doing. No of days he says is irrelevant just price it on what you think it will take. And to finish off some jokers effort - no way!
 
Id still price it as you would. It is what it is. If he thinks you're then too expensive he can pick up the saloon pages and call a cowboy
 
quote as if you were fitting all new sanitary ware, re-using old will take longer. and no guarantees, he can always try elseware if he doesn't like the price, you are worth per day what you think you are worth, ( experience, equipment etc.taken into account) not what someone thinks he will pay you per day.

all the best
 
I quoted him my rate last night for 6 days plus any bits I need to use.....he said thats too expensive...I said good luck with your search !
 
Sounds like this customer would also want you to clean out the gunge and slime from the shower/bath/basin traps too. Stay well away, they are going to be trouble - guaranteed. And you wont get any tea and biscuits from them.
