had a plumber round today to give me a quote to fit a new bathroom to the room next to our old bathroom. he recons on 4 days work @ £200 per day with me helping, supplying the suite and a fair amount of the pipe and fittings. what do you chaps recon...is it a fair cost?Steve

Given that a lot of places are charging £30+ an hour (most small garagesthat I frequent), yes probably. I don't know enough about the work to saywhether 4 days is reasonable. Possibly a bit long but it depends on thingslike waste pipes, probably, more than water supply.--Malc

When self employed I worked on income for 40 weeks a year, this accounted for holidays, training (not earning). illness, lack of work etc etc ...... Hence 40 productive 5 day weeks a year.
