Zaytsev   10 #25 Posted April 23, 2007 very nice- love those tiles  Thankyou katkin, the photos don't do the room justice really. It looks quite stunning in the flesh, as it were.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #27 Posted April 23, 2007 It's a very nice bathroom, but £500 for the shower screen, someone saw them coming.  £100 a day for labour... That's a labourers rate, not a plumber, not a tiler and not a bathroom specialist. That said, if he does a good job, post it on the forum, at that rate he'd never be short of work!

Zaytsev   10 #28 Posted April 23, 2007 I've seen the photos and envy is the last thing I feel. I like my bathroom to look warm, cosy and welcoming, not like a hotel or a public toilet so it's hardly likely to get me turning green!  Oh yes I see what you mean.  ooooo chilly, freeeeeezin cold.  :hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #30 Posted April 23, 2007 not in sheffield mate maybe london but ill give it a go and i will recommend him on here if the jobs a goodun  Given that i've never had any work done in London, but plenty in Sheffield I can assure you that you won't find many plumbers, plasterers or tilers who work for £13 an hour. £30 is normally closer to the mark.

We usually completed between 15 and 20 sq mtrs a day. Day rate was £200.00.  £100 in London for time served skilled trades :hihi: dream on.

TicklePickle   10 #32 Posted April 23, 2007 Since I am the guy who has had the bathroom fitted I thought it would be rude to not add a few comments!  We are 110% happy with the result of the work carried out. Yes the shower screen was a lot...but we spent a great deal of time looking at bathroom brochures and showrooms to get exactly what we wanted. I at least had the sense to get myself a well paid job to pay for it  We appreciate it may not be to everyones tastes but then again what is? We didn't intend on everyone in Sheffield using it!  We'll let ya know how cold it is in the winter when the underfloor heating kicks in.  Oh and finally....the big shocker....the bathroom window.....will be cleaned now the work is complete!

Zaytsev   10 #33 Posted April 23, 2007 At that I will take my leave of this thread and thank two fantastic customers. It was a pleasure to work for such friendly and appreciative people.  Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cbr900   10 #35 Posted April 24, 2007 We have to pay someone £80 a day just to dig . The title says "builder" , I have never come accross one that charges £100 a day. That said , if he does a good job you're laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
