You must be if it takes you longer than that, get a paper round you probably make more money, to change a bath, basin, and wc max 4 hrs if a shower tray on the deck where possible add 1.5 hours 2 days to tile and grout and 2 hours to fit shower valve and enclosure that's me doing all the above work, because let's be honest, we don't use plumbers mate on wastes anymore, tap connectors have never been easier, most basins have mono block mixers which are easy to conceal and fit, all pans have 7" centres on soil outlet, tiling Is common sense if you can use a level and tile saw you can tile, bathrooms in my opinion are more of a focus for less confident plumbers, who might be gsr but try to shy away from hard installation work, where deadlines are more real, work is hard and needs to be fast, ( let me guess you use self cleaning flux) try wire wool and telux instead, less leaks, neatly soldered fittings, also wait till flame turns green, remove lamp, touch with solder and wipe with damp sponge, perfect soldered fitting everytime
