    Hi,

    I got quoted 700 euro for the following job:

    remove old shower tray
    kango floor as shower waste is on opposite side compared to old shower tray and I don't want a raised tray
    install new shower tray
    install shower doors
    remove and replace 30 tiles

    Is this a reasonable price?

    Thanks

    Yeah everything is new, we bought all of this seperately. The price he gave me was for the installation.

    Right so its all work on the floor? And your supplying everything. So its just a labour price?
    That sounds very high to me if I'm taking this up right

    About 2/3 days work there.
    How many quotes did you get?
    Cash kings are cutting the hands of each other out there to get the work:D.
    Have you tried tradesmen.ie?

    2 days work max. €350-€450 would be fair enough. Cheque, not cash.

    Assuming its a quad tray which i am guessing it is somewhere in the region of 500 would be fairer. However i have not seen the job and am assuming. Why not just get another 2 quotes.

    Plumbers are killing for work.

    I recommend getting a few quotes based on you supplying everything.

    Not easy to get in touch with plumbers? Are they looking for work or what.

    Any chance we could get a sticky or something so that people can ask for quotes etc for different plumbers?

    I think there is something similar in the accountancy forum

    Its hard to know where to start!

    Just curious,but are you getting this work done under some sort of grant scheme? Is it up to you getting your own plumber or have you to pick one from some sort of list given to you?
