Mr Tiler

Mr Tiler

One Day

If I was the plumber asked to do that it would be full day rate.
What do you expect him to do in between time while you're tiling??
Surely DIY?

This is something you really need to learn for yourself mate. Plumbers are expensive, and can be unreliable, which will cost you in time. I'll pm you what I would charge to do it as part of the tiling job.. ;)

I don't exactly know what your getting at mate? I can tile and for now that is all il be doing until I do learn and tbh after watching a plumber do it a few times no doubt il be able to do it unles it involves cutting pipes etc that is a plumbers job and id rather pay a plumber to do it... I was just asking what I should be expecting to pay a plumber for doing the job requested if its a full days pay that's fine with me it will go on the quote and ive already had a few quotes and they have been a day rate that is why I asked ;/....

If it has isolation valves on it is Easy buddy if not get a plumber you can tell the customer to arrange for there own plumber to remove before you start and replace after you finish

No harm in asking but you'd be better off just quoting for the tiling and getting the customer to arrange for their own plumber! That way you don't have to deduct tax, and pay before you get paid for doing the job!

I wouldn't pay before being paid anyway mate lol... but I suppose it would be better cheers... whatever happens on a job in particular the floor will have to come up as the tiles are on floor boards

So you finish the job , the plumber fits the sanitary ware back and the customer makes you wait for your money!
'oh sorry Mr plumber but I can't pay you till I've been paid! Real world.
