How much to replace electric shower

[zanwan]

How much should a plumber charge, on average for a job which includes the below. I assume it will take a whole day for me as i'm just starting out.

1) Replace an old electric shower with a new one, like for like

2) Fit a stop cock to an mains pressure pipe to the outside toilet

3) install a small basin to the outside toilet.

Can someone give me a rough guestimate? What would be a fair price?

are there pipes in the outside toilet to connect to if so your looking at £50- 100 per hour plus materials

yes, the pipes are already present, you'd probably just have to add a bit more piping, tee's etc.

so £50-£100 per hour?!

I've quoted the guy £150 for the whole job! have i just majorly undercut myself?!

depends what they charge an hour, you may be able to do all that in 4 hours plus materials so at £50 an hour your looking at at least £300 inc materials so yes, why dont you just get someone to give you a quote

I'd say £150 labour + materials sounds about right if your just starting.

hi
id agree with david17uk
approx £150 plus materials
or break it down if you went to three/four different customers how much would you charge for installing each item,then you could allow for being there lower it slightly and i think you would still come out around the £150-£175 mark
