I did one recently and it took over three days in the end. But then I did have to replace the entire floor and three joists.

If you are lucky enough to get away with a swap and nothing else, I would charge £96.00 for labour. But that is Cumbria, I suspect you would be looking at a bit more.

Don't forget you'll need a stick.

A 'blind' quote maybe?
There's no such thing as a direct replacement - the drains won't match up, and neither will the taps unless they are on flexi's....
Then there's making good to the tiling, bath panel, shower screen.....the list goes on.

There no such thing as a like for like change.
If you end up with the same why bother?
I'd do it for £100,000 and traveling expences, and real coffee.

I agree with you completely mate, but when people suggest that it is 'old one out, identical new one in' I need to see for myself....never found one yet!

When the OP lets it be known locally of a job where he knows exactly what needs to be done, how long it will take, with goods supplied by himself, priced by a bunch of strangers on the web who haven't seen the job, the stick will be handy to beat off the the hordes of plumbers scrambling at the door.

I have done the odd plumbing only swaps for DIYers who thought they were OK with tiling, woodwork and everything else apart from the plumbing.

Its usually £35 to see whats involved and to cap off the supplies and disconnect the waste.

Then about £120 to level the bath and then connect up the new bath with the customer buying the new taps and waste.
