How much should this cost

[dustnbones2]

I'm getting wildly different quotes on taking out three taps and replacing with the one I've bought.
As a ballpark figure what would be a reasonable cost?
The taps are here. The tap under the kitchen sinks looks probalmatic though

 

[HERTS P&D]

What are your quotes?

Andy

 

[dustnbones2]

£200 and £220

 

[HERTS P&D]

£20 is not wildly different, which plumber do you prefer?

That appliance waste hose (grey) under the kitchen sink should be trapped too, otherwise you could get smells. I don’t know why the effort was made for that makeshift connection when an appliance trap is there! (unless it came afterwards of course).

Well, unless your Plumber lives next door they'll need a vehicle to get to you, which also needs fuel, tax, insurance on top of the purchase price. They also need insurance just in case something goes horribly wrong. They need the tools to do the work with, and any fittings required to overcome any differences in the connections. Also the knowledge on how to do the job, especially when they find the water wont turn off...

You cannot put a price on experience, to change 4 taps, (and sink taps are usually a beggar to get to), I wouldn't expect to pay less than £200 and that's probably cheap. I'd snatch their hand off at either price.

Made a mistake, one quote was £120
I have no opinion on which plumber I prefer

No smells cing from the hose.
I've got a lot of work needs sorting out so want to keep costs dow

Go with the £120 one then. As per @Hugh Jaleak it seems cheap

These are local plumbers. Walking distance although I get your drift

It's a mate's rates but I've no idea on plumbing rates or how long it'll take

 

[HERTS P&D]

So is the plumber a mate of yours?

Andy

 

[dustnbones2]

Yes,now wondering how long it'll take to do the work

 

[oldbutnotdead]

Taps can be a total pain. Price has many variables, £120 sounds reasonable.

 

[HERTS P&D]

So your mate is a plumber, fitting your new taps and you want to know how long it will take?

Ask him!

Or are you a plumber trying to work out how much to charge a customer??
