As above the material cost for pipework,fittings, traps and iso valves can soon be pushing £300.00, so the suggestion that £350.00 can cover an install and be completed in a day. Is complete tosh!

you must be slow then if you can't change a wc,basin and bath in less than a day,I won't take off the old tiles,make good any holes or fit the bath frame/panel and no tiling,costs about £30 to £50 for 5x flexis and 2x waste flexis if needed and a pan connector = 6 hours x £50 = £300 profit,

what do you buy gold plated or the plumbing merchants must laugh their heads off when you leave and shut up for the day after stealing £300 from you

Should have posted a picture,have you got a combination boiler,if so you could put on thermostatic bath/shower taps costing about £80,that would save money.
I charge £350 for a standard bathroom replacement including plumbing parts,takes a day,I don't do tiling why pay plumbers rates when you can get a tiler cheaper.

I charge them double your rate and get away with it.

That's not expensive. Id suggest that's middle of the road.

I know firms in my neck of the woods who'll charge a lot more than that AND be busy too.

Apologies, seeing as you mentioned nvq, and the nvq came about in the 90s I did assume you'd taken similar courses to myself. 4 year apprenticeship, level 3 nvq myself.
