S
Stef
Normally Aquadefence & I always try to buy it when it's on special & have a few tubs spare in the garage.
I need to double my price then 😉 Do you tell customers what the option is for tanking and cost it as a recommended option?
£100.00

Same as Andy Allen. I charge £100 I offer it and advise it, but it's there choice. I use tilemaster tanking kit which is nearly £50
F
Flintstone
Charging anymore and I'm sure no one would have it done
I think its priced about right at what I charge, enough for me to make a bit more and cheap enough to protect the ceilings downstairs, unless the plumber forgets to connect the waste 🙄
Q
Qwerty
Same as.
Review time, may add another £20-25 for each option

£200 to do a shower, that's about £150 profit and will take, at the most 2 hours
S
Stef
Your looking at £30 just for the tape to waterproof your internals.

£20 per m2 usually gives a decent bit of profit, usually works out anywhere between £100-150 for a shower.
S
Stef
I just priced a job today & told them that the shower needs waterproofing.
I'm doing a new build starting tomorrow & ive recommended that the upstairs ensuite shower gets a tanking kit but not sure whether the builder wants to pay the extra or not.

Yep £150 for me too, for full shower.
£100 round a bath.

A tanking kit costs about £50 for paste and tape.

I don't price it separately. It's listed in the quote. Discussed beforehand that it'll be included and explained why. If they don't want it, they don't get me.
I normally use kerdi or ardex wpc if i don't get to build the walls. I will build in a days labour to prep an area (ok, it might just be 2 to 3 hours though!) and materials + 40% so anywhere from 200 pounds upwards built onto the price.

Tanked a new build shower today, amazed that the builder listened to me.
I reckon it took me 4hrs by the time I cut the tapes & put 2 coats of paste on the walls (3 sided shower 900x760)
£80 for the 4hrs work & £50 for the paste roughly so not far away at £150- £200 for the completed job.

What type of paste is that Steff, was there classi seal installed?
Think I'm going to up my price for tanking!
S
Stef
I told the plumber to ditch the classi seal as I was tanking it.
Mapegum with Mapei tape.
L
LM
I like to combine the two 🙂
Q
Qwerty
Out of interest have you called Mapei technical support to ask if this would invalidate the guarantee they offer? Would be interested to find out.
L
LM
By using two different manufacturers I cant imagine they'd guarantee it at all, but to me it's a no brainer, how can it go wrong
L
LM
I prfer to use a self adhesive tape in this system as well
S
Stef
If it's fitted correct then it would be ok but I find the plumbers leave too much Silicon on the top edge & leaves you with a lip at the bottom of the tile.
L
LM
I don't find that an issue, maybe because I've explained to all the plumbers I work with exactly how I want the classi deal fitted and so far so good🙂
