How much should the labour cost ?
Let us give you a budget of £5000.00
A good skilled multitrader around Reading can charge between £400 to £500 per day.
These guys are individual trades that want the customer to manage the job.
They typically do not want anything to do with sourcing materials. Although I would expect they can assist on advising on which grouts, adhesives, hidden plumbing fittings and fixtures. And any electrical or plumbing adaptions needed.
These guys only want to turn up on site to do the work. And hope the customer has ordered all the correct stuff. As well as that there is no issues with it.
Otherwise they have to down tools and find something else to do whilst waiting for a key fixture to be replaced.
Project Managing
If you have the time, patience and know-how, you can reduce some costs by managing the refurbishment yourself.
However, using a company like WSC will save you the stress of designing, sourcing materials, managing deliveries, returns and tradesmen.
How much does a good bathroom fitter cost?
Now you need to do some due diligence into selecting the right tradesman. And using a day rate as a comparison.
An independent or self employed individual would want to charge between £200 and £500. However this will come with limitations in their scope of services. As well as can also lead bathroom installation issues in years to come.
Make sure you find a good one, they are worth their weight in gold. As there is no margin for error.
For complete piece of mind a limited company with a team would charge around £650 to £750. If you prefer a hands off approach then this is worth looking at.
Top tip – when finding the right company or individual a good gauge is by how long they have been in business, as well as what kind of reputation they have established in the community. And try to always use some one local.
