Tilers day rate costs query

[Time's Ran Out]

How long is a day?
We’re not talking 24 hours but some people put more work in 10 hours then others do in 2/3 days.
Then you have - Plumber turns up 8am, unloads van & 2 hours work, tea. Goes to collect materials and back for 12.30 & lunch. Then 2hours work, tea. Last hour putting tools away and turning water back on, away for 4pm!
Customer thinks he’s great. Of course the leak is from a faulty fitting - manufacturers problem.

my plumbing mate had the cops called on him when servicing a guys old boiler when he condemned it for being faulty and un safe

I always break down . I find customers think you are making a shed load because if you don't tell them what materials cost they think they get put in your van overnight by fairies and you just pocket all that money .

2 hours making that noise thru their teeth and muttering no, no, no then telling customer I will need to charge a bit more, put kettle on and I’ll figure out a price

@RayTheTiler
Typical Plumber !
They think that they have the power to save lives instead of letting the boiler gas the family or blow up.

Worked with/for a Plumber for 10 years and got him to move my house boiler.
You’ll need a new boiler John as the back plate has ‘gone’. He said.
What caused that Tommy?
Badly fitted. He said!

Well you put it in 10 years ago!!
Funny it then became a new back plate that was only required.

A Tiler that used to do work for a firm I was on would mix PVA with water and apply it with a sponge.
